Chapter 142 Ruby
Wednesday, November 18th
Theo woke up early as usual.
He did his morning run around the house lake, and afterward, he did some martial arts exercises.
When Aurora came downstairs, he had just finished cooking breakfast.
"Good Morning, Cupcake!" Theo said with a smile.
"Good morning, big brother!" Aurora replied with a sweet smile.
"Help me bring the food to the table." Theo said as he took the bottle of coffee.
"Sure!" Aurora replied.
Shortly after, the siblings were having breakfast just like they had every other day.
"How did you sleep?" Theo asked as he sipped his coffee in the mug that Aurora gave him.
"Great! After we arrived from the restaurant yesterday, I fell asleep as soon as got onto the bed." Aurora replied as she took a bite of a toast.
"I'm glad!" Theo said.
"Oh, I will pass you some musical exercises for you to practice. Next weekend we will start to rehearse the songs you will sing with me." Theo smiled at her.
"What? Already?" Aurora turned her head to her brother in astonishment.
She thought that they practice more.
And if she was being honest with herself, she would say that she was super nervous about singing a song to put on a music album.
"Of course! The best way for you to learn is by actually practicing. And now that you know the basic theory, it's time for you to start singing." Theo replied with a calm voice.
"Okay then..." Aurora said with a nervous face.
"Hey, be calm. I believe in you!" Theo said with a gentle voice after seeing her worried.
Aurora took a deep breath and calmed herself.
"I will do my best, big brother!" She said with a firm voice as her eyes exuded determination.
"I know you will do." Theo replied as he saw her saying that.
A while later, Theo bade farewell to her as she took the elevator to go down the mountain.
She had school, but he would work at home that day.
Theo walked to his recording studio as he thought about which songs he should choose to complete his album.
He needed to choose 5 more songs.
Theo also needed to choose a song that he would sing with Aurora.
Theo sat at the recording studio and started searching through his memory.
He needed a song that could make the transition between the soft beat of the first 5 songs to the upbeat songs of the rest of the album.
Suddenly, Theo remembered a song that was a success as soon it was released.
From one of the few artists that managed to win the four most important Grammys in one night.
Theo entered the recording room and seated at the electronic sound table and placed the microphone in front of him.
Theo had shining eyes as he took a deep breath to start the song.
He didn't have to worry about the record because Sylph was the perfect assistant.
Theo start playing and closed his eyes to feel the music.
[White shirt now red, my bloody nose
Sleepin', you're on your tippy toes
Creepin' around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
I'm the bad guy...]
That's right!
Theo was playing 'Bad Guy' from Billie Eilish!
The winner of the Best New Artist Award, Album Of The Year Award, Record Of The Year Award, and Song Of The Year Award of 2019.
The four principal categories of the Grammy.
Theo knew that he should put this song on his album.
It was an amazing song and would match seamlessly with his album.
Theo heard his recording and found some mistakes, but he could work on that when he started producing the song.
Theo proceeded to choose the other songs after he finished listening to the track.
Now he needed an impactful song.
A song that would make the blood boil as someone listened to it.
And Theo knew exactly which would fit in perfectly.
'Believer' by Imagine Dragons and 'Dance Monkey' by Tones and I!
But Theo played a little bit of the two songs to test if they really together with the rest of the album.
He couldn't play the whole songs because they needed multiple instruments and production to be played perfectly.
But he still played the guitar and sang the songs to feel the music.
[First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh-ooh
The master of my sea, oh-ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer...]
Theo noticed that 'Believer' was working, so he proceeded to test 'Dance Monkey'.
[They say oh my God I see the way you shine
Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine
You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
Ooh I see you, see you, see you every time
And oh my I, I, I like your style
You, you make me, make me, make me wanna cry
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time
So they say
Dance for me, dance for me, dance for me, oh, oh, oh
I've never seen anybody do the things you do before
They say move for me, move for me, move for me, ay, ay, ay
And when you're done I'll make you do it all again...]
Theo was satisfied after he played the songs.
He just needed another two songs and the album would be completed.
He started thinking about the artists he liked in his past life.
He had several artists that he admired, but he needed to find a song that fitted on his album.
"How could I forget?" Theo suddenly exclaimed as he remembered an artist that had the perfect song to fit on the album.
Theo entered the recording room again and proceeded to sing the song.
[You prolly think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything
Woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything...]
That's right!
It was 'Better Now' from Post Malone!
The beat was cheerful but a little calmer compared to 'Believer' and 'Dance Monkey'.
And that was exactly what he was looking for.
Now Theo had to find the song that he would sing with his sister.
Theo was thinking hard when suddenly remembered a crucial point to the launch of his album.
The music video of the songs!
It was common sense that a music video was essential if an artist wanted to promote his album.
And Theo was not an exception.
Theo frowned as he thought about the problem.
'This will delay the launching of the album...' he thought.
'It seems that I will have to hire a manager earlier than I thought.'
Theo pretended to hire a manager after finishing the production of the album to take care of his musical career.
? But now he had the manager to take care of the music videos while he produced the album.
Theo wanted to produce at least 5 music videos, after all, the songs he chose were famous, and had popular music videos in his past life.
He didn't want to miss the chance to do the music videos for these songs.
For example, the music video of 'Believer' had more than 2 billion views on Youtube.
So, he had to make these videos to post on Ruby.
Ruby was the site that was similar to Youtube on Azure Star.
The website was founded by Sakura Abode Country citizens.
Ruby had even more people accessing the website compared with Youtube, but that was mainly because the population of Azure Star was bigger.
'Where can I hire a manager?' Theo said inwardly.
He started searching for people in this area.
He needed to hire his manager as soon as possible.
