I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 10
THE REBELLION STUDIO, TIME WARNER CENTER.
THE QUEEN OF THE SUN KINGDOM
Written by: Benjamin Chevalier
Lyric :
*Out of nowhere
You step into this concrete city
Your smile is just like a drug to me
Dark eyes, dark hair
Remedy for my lost soul
You give me shelter
Warm heart, warm arms
Flower in my winter storm
The sun kingdom queen
Lay me down on your valley
The sun kingdom queen
Give me your sympathy*
"So?" Ben looked at Gregory, Marcus and Liam alternately as the three finished reading the lyrics of the song he wrote.
"Good lyric, as usual." Marcus took his guitar. He turned his guitar tuner to Drop D and fiddled with the effects of his guitar for a while resulting in a round distortion sound. Marcus plays some riffs to find a suitable intro.
Gregory started playing his bass guitar and reached for Marcus's notes. Likewise with Liam who has sat behind his drum and played tempos slowly and heavily. Ben grabs his fender stratocaster and steals the melody between Marcus' guitar shreds. The four men concocted and concocted a song written by Ben and finally raw the song was structured.
"It's psychedelic" said Gregory." Slightly different from the previous songs, this album will be good."
"Definitely," said Ben as he downed his beer bottle.
"Hey Ben . who's the sun kingdom queen? Is it your Cinderella girl?" marcus Goda.
Ben chuckles. "Well .. nobody!" the answer.
The studio door opened, looking a well-dressed man, wearing one earring on his right ear entered the room and approached the four.
"Hello guys," he said. The Rebellion answered his greeting and went five in turns with the man.
"Jack, does Columbia approve a rider (exclusive requirement for a band/singer willing to perform-red) us?" gregory asked the man he called Jack.
"Yep .. only the honor is still discussed, they bid to be 600,000 dollars only. Considering Ben was a student there, they asked for a discount, what do you think, Ben?" ask Jack to Ben.
"I don't mind, how about you guys?" Ben asked back. The other three members nodded in agreement.
"Okay deal," cried Jack. "Ow, don't forget there's an interview on Fuse TV tomorrow night" he continued
Jacks. "And Ben, don't be late!" said Jack
admonish. Ben forms the letter O with his thumb and index finger. Signs agree.

"The Rebellion .. how are you doing?" greet Abraham Walley, a man of afro-american descent, the host of the talk show.
"Good," The Rebellion says.
"Will be released soon, right?"
"That's right?" sahut Gregory's.
"How far is the process?"
ask Abraham.
"Maybe about 80 percent."
"Would this third album be any different from your previous two?"
"Yeah, there will be differences but not significant, still with the characters that Rebellion has built up so far." Marcus explains.
"Okay, so .. You're a rock band that has your own character and color, where did you get your inspiration in music?"
"We listened to many bands in the '70s including Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and others, they were our inspiration in music but in the process we found our own colors." Liam.
"Wow .. that's cool."
"We just take the roots, then develop it with our own musical characters. Like Ben who loves the '90s-era stoner band from California, Kyuss, he loves Josh Homme's guitar playing technique, but in reality Ben invented his own technique." Gregory added.
"That's awesome, Benjamin, you wrote all the lyrics to The Rebellion, didn't you? What inspired you?"
"Well, I have a lot of things in my mind" answered
Ben relax.
"What are they?" ask Abraham.
"Society, aliens, other dimensions, marijuana,
loneliness, planets, women, something like that" Ben said.
"That's amazing" praised Abraham.
The talk show was live
the Fuse TV. Laras sitting on the sofa of his apartment noticed Ben's expression on the television screen in front of him. The girl suddenly smiled to herself. For some reason since that annoying first meeting on campus a few weeks ago, he has increasingly seen the blond man everywhere. And the most unexpected was working at his grandmother's house. Which of course makes Laras will often meet him. The flowery taste burst into Laras' chest every time she remembered Ben. The girl shook her head slowly trying to shake off what she felt. Come on, he is Benjamin Chevalier, his inner self.
The ringing of the cell phone kept him awake from his daydream. Maya's name is on the screen. Laras squeaked his forehead. Maya
he is a friend from Indonesia who also studied at Columbia but different majors. Laras had not communicated with the girl for a long time because of their respective activities. What happened Maya suddenly called, asked Laras in her heart.

The lyrics of Queen Of The Sun Kingdom were written impromptu by myself for the needs of this story. Maybe one day I will arrange. Hahaiy ....
