"Last song guys," Eric said. "Let's get this done today, alright?"
"I'll see what I can do," I said, heading into the recording booth.
This was one of the songs I was singing solo and it was our last song. Six and a half months of recording and we were finally in the last stretch of getting our CD made.
Recording was fun, even with Eric constantly asking us to sing the songs over and over.
We've all trained ourselves to watch out for mistakes and start over without a second thought.
But the closer we got to finishing this thing, the more my nerves increased.
I wondered how the public would react to our CD. Would they love us? Hate us? In between?
I know these are things that we'll have to wait to find out but I can't help but worry.
How great would it be to be the band that only recorded one album, a disastrous one at that, and were the laughing stock of the music world?
It'd be so great.
Not.
I shuttered just thinking about it.
"You okay?" Bella asked, concerned, as she rubbed my arm.
"Yeah," I told her, bending down to give her a kiss.
I can't get enough of Bella. I thought that as time passed, I wouldn't be so...obsessed with her but I still was. It brought a smile to my face to know she was my girl.
"Do you have to do that here?" Kate grumbled.
Bella's eyes flashed with annoyance. I just held her tighter. To be fair, it was more for Kate's protection than my want to do that.
"Behave," I told her as I smacked her ass.
Bella laughed and rolled her eyes at me, "Go record your song."
"Yes, let's," Eric agreed, motioning for me to take a stand in front of my microphone.
Bella went to sit next to Eric. Like I said, this was one of my solos so she wasn't really needed. However, I planned to train her on my piano so that she'd have something to do when we're performing on tour.
"Stay with me, Baby, stay with me. Tonight don't leave me alone. Walk with me. Come and walk with me, to the edge of all we've ever known. I can see you there with the city lights. Fourteenth floor, pale brown eyes, I can breathe you in. Two shadows standing by the bedroom door. No I could not want you more than I did right then."
I grinned at Bella as I sang, letting her know that this song was for her.
This was a last minute song that I wrote a couple months ago. I actually started this song a few days before we started dating and then finished it afterward.
It was about taking a chance. Perfect fit for us, wouldn't you say?
"Well, I'm not sure what this is gonna be but with my eyes closed all I see is the sky line through the window, the moon above you and the streets below. Hold my breath as you're moving in. Taste your lips and feel you're skin. When the time comes, baby don't run, just kiss me slowly."
Bella was smiling at me as I continued to sing.
"She shows me everything she use to know. Picture frames and country roads. When the days were long, and the world was small. Oh, She stood by as it fell apart, to separate rooms and broken hearts. But I won't be the one to let you go."
Leah leaned in to whisper something in her ear, causing Bella to blush and nod.
I wonder what Leah asked.
I ended up running through the songs three times before it was approved by Eric.
"You did it!" Eric clapped. "Congratulations. You finished your very first album."
I smiled.
"Now, don't tell anyone this," Eric lowered his voice. "But you're the best band I've had the pleasure of working with."
"No shit," Jazz joked.
"I look forward to working with you some more in the future." Eric said. "It'll probably only be a couple months before we see each other again."
"We're okay with that," Jake said as he hugged Leah close to him.
"Enjoy the rest of your afternoon," Eric said. "I've got some work to do."
Our afternoon didn't end there, we had an interview with a local radio show. It was a small place but you've got to start somewhere.
The best thing about radio shows is that you don't have to show up looking like a runway model. You can show up in pajamas and no one would say anything.
For TV shows, however, we did have to dress up. At least I wasn't a girl. Rosalie was already making a list of all the designers she hoped would send Bella heels, dresses, whatever else in the future.
Not to mention that Bella took the longest to get ready these days. And she takes even longer when subjected to the tortures of a hair and makeup artist.
The first thing Craig, the radio host, did was play a song of ours. It just so happened to be Monster. He was bobbing his head along as it played, which was definitely a good sign.
"That was Monster by the band Breaking Twilight," Craig said once our song had finished. "That sounded pretty great, am I right or am I right?"
His co-host, Natasha, laughed, "I so agree."
"We actually have the band in studio right now," he said, glancing up at us. "Why don't you introduce yourselves?"
"Hey, I'm Bella, I'm the female vocalist," Bella said, nervously.
"I'm Edward, the male vocalist and the pianist."
Emmett, Jasper, and Jake then introduced themselves. Jasper made sure to lay on his southern accent. Girls go crazy for it, was his reasoning.
"Can you tell us how you became to be?" Natasha wondered.
"Emmett and I started the band when we were kids," I answered. "And as the years went on Jake and Jasper joined."
"Bella was our last addition, she joined a couple months ago," Jake said. "We held auditions at a local bar in Seattle and she showed up."
"Best addition ever," Jasper added.
"Definitely," Emmett agreed.
"Bella, what's it like being in a band with four other boys?"
"Um, pretty cool," Bella laughed. "I fit in very well with them."
"Tomboy at heart, huh?" Craig guessed.
"Oh, yeah."
The next couple of questions were easy; Are we nervous about being thrust into the limelight? Are we excited for our album release? And of course they wanted to know when our album is coming out.
"Next month," I responded. "June 15th."
"Which also happens to be the one year anniversary of when our band became complete," Jasper added.
"Aw, that is perfect," Natasha agreed.
"Unfortunately, that's all we had time for," Craig said, genuinely looking bummed. "It was nice talking to you all. Congratulations on your first CD release and I can't wait to see what you five have in store for us."
"Thank you."
"We'll be back after these messages."
We took a couple pictures with Craig and Natasha, so that they could put them up on their website, before we bid them a Farwell and left.
"Well, that was an easy first interview." Bella mused.
"I hope they'll all be this easy."
First off, You guys should go listen to Kiss me slowly by Parachute. It is one of the cutest songs I've ever heard. I just love it. Also, that's what Edward sounds like.
Second, I won't be able to update tomorrow.
And Third, Review! I love hearing what you guys think.
