After his talk with Aiden, Caron seed to always be in so thought.
They decided to record his parts later and just get on with the main components and the instruntals.
Caron looked grateful for that and started practising to perfect the song. He still smoked, but it looked like he wanted to give his best in the song.
Aiden was focused on giving his best as the main vocalist, recording one part several tis until he was satisfied with it. Sotis it would even take an hour for one verse.
But in the end, he felt like it was all worth it.
‘Revolution’ heavily relied on drums and bass to create a thumping feeling, so Jackson’s part was crucial, and he also added so of his own tracks to the song, making it sound better.
He had learned a lot from his instructors during his ti at Cyco dia.
Emily also recorded her parts very quickly.
Her work on the keyboard was pretty minimal, but she was an essential part in the pre-chorus parts, which had a bit of complexity, but after a few days, she was able to master the part.
However, even if they were doing well on the recording, they still had a deadline, and Wade had told them to finish it as early as possible so that he could send it to Aniroll.
According to him, many indie musicians, including their biggest competitor, Ryse, had already submitted a song.
So, with a deadline on their head, the whole group worked harder every day.
More than a week passed, and they were finally close to finishing the recording.
“He’s doing much better now.”
Emily said as she played a recording of Caron. The sound of him singing ‘Revolution’ ca from the headphones that Aiden was wearing.
Throughout the week, Caron improved bit by bit. He was nowhere near his previous level, as his voice had suffered from smoking and no practice, but he was still doing much better.
The silver light from his singing was weak, but it was there. Aiden felt like it was enough for the song..
“I’m starting now.”
Aiden turned his head to look at Caron as he said that. They were at the last round of recording.
‘Let’s hope it goes well.’
He took a deep breath as the music started. The hard beats of the drum, mixed with the guitar strings, played out. In the booth, Caron took a deep breath before beginning to sing.
🎶🎙🎵
“I have fought this war from the day I could walk.”
“Doesn’t matter even if I’m forsaken.”
“The blood in my mouth just makes the pain sweeter.”
“Push down! I will get up! I’m still a believer!”
🎶🎙🎵
His voice was gnarly, and the shouting at the end of the sentences added so flair to the song.
It was much better than before as the raw emotions finally ca through.
The best proof was the simring silver light that filled the booth. It was vibrant and filled with power.
Hearing it, Aiden finally felt like this was what he had expected of Caron from the start. Emily and Jackson were all smiles.
“Finally, the recording is finished!”
She said after Caron finished singing his part.
***
A few hours after the recording finished, Aiden’s fan group, which now stood over 2000 people, erupted with another discussion due to a photo that Aiden had just posted on his social dia.
It was a recording studio photo with the caption, ‘Sothing new is coming’.
The group discussed many things, especially since a photo of Caron, Jackson and Aiden had surfaced so days ago.
[Moaning Frodo: So, it’s confird! Aiden is collaborating with Caron. I never thought I would see Sothing like this.]
[JusAbaka: Yeah, normally, reality show contestants don’t even talk after the show ends, and so even bitch about the other person. I never really saw them collaborating with each other.]
[TcVerse: I even saw a reality show where two people beca a couple, but after the show ended, it ca out that they already had soone in their real life, and it was all scripted.]
[April’s wife: I’m so excited just thinking about a new song with both Caron and Aiden.]
[Son of Coul: You all are forgetting Jackson.]
[Chad Putin: Are you all sure they are really collaborating? Maybe their eting and the recording studio photo are two separate matters? It’s still more or less speculation in this group.]
At those words, the discussion suddenly stopped as they all thought on those words. They felt very true.
What if it was just speculation on their part? The disappointnt they felt was much bigger than anything due to how high their hopes were.
But at that mont, one of the users suddenly posted a screenshot taken straight from Emily’s Skygram page.
[Skyneves: Look at this! I sohow ca across it. So our speculations are true!!]
The screenshot showed Emily being in a bar with Aiden, Caron and Jackson. In the caption, she had written that she had just finished a recording with so friends.
This much proof was enough for the fan group to explode again.
[Always be my maybe: It’s confird! Get the trumpets out. It’s ti to celebrate.]
[April on Roof: What song do you think they are making? Like what genre? I’m guessing it’s not a romantic song this ti.]
[Ribbit Rabbit: The four were a part of the band arc in X-Star, so I’m guessing a song that suits a band. They might even make a band for real, considering how good they were.]
[Hollywood Insider: I don’t think that will happen as Jackson is already signed with Cyco dia. #Insider]
[Go read MMO: I hope they release the song next week. If they recorded it already, it should co out next week, right?]
[Please read MMO: Not really. It depends if they are shooting a music video or not. But, seeing how they are forming a band for it, I think they will go all out for it. It could even take a month.]
[Owning an Island is hard: I really hope they actually form a band. It will suit Aiden a lot. Unfortunately, though, he would need to fight for the vocalist position with Caron. But he would be able to continue his acting career.]
[Skyneves: That depends. Bands have a pretty gruelling schedule.]
[MisterImmortal: Let’s see how all this goes. I really wonder why Aiden is going for a band when he’s doing well in his solo career. Of course, a solo career pays better, though bands have hardcore fans.]
[Pika Pika: I think I heard Aiden’s new movie finished shooting a while back, and now, he’s already recording a song. My boy is following the Sigma grindset.]
[Your eyes ain’t silver: Hey, guys! See this!]
Suddenly, another mber of the group posted a link. This was a link to an article; when other people clicked on it and read through it, another round of discussion began in the fan group.

“Guys, see. I posted a photo of us and instantly got over 500 likes. All the comnts are asking when the song will co out?”
Emily said, showing her Skygram page to the others. Aiden smiled, seeing the number of followers she had.
They were currently sitting in The Rabbit hole, celebrating the finish of their recording.
“You seem like you have a lot of following on social dia.”
“Yeah, I kind of post many photos, so it’s always bustling with lots of people comnting,” Emily said, then glanced at Jackson, who seed lost in thought.
“What are you thinking, Jackson?” Emily asked.
“Well, I just feel that even if we completed the song and all that, we are missing sothing.”
“What is that?”
Aiden asked, raising an eyebrow.
“We have not given any na to our band,” Jackson said, instantly piquing the interest of everyone. Even Caron, who was just quietly drinking, seed a bit interested.
“Do we even need one?”
Aiden asked. They were just collaborating for one song, so he wondered if a band na was even necessary.
“We do. Every good band has a na, even if it’s for one song.” Jackson smiled. “What should I na it?”
As he asked, everyone gave their own opinions. Caron was the first one.
“Rock heads.”
“People are going to say we are stupid,” Jackson said, mocking the na as Caron glared.
“Notes from the soul.”
Emily was the next one to present her opinion, and Aiden felt the na was much better than Rock heads.
“I like it, but I have sothing better,” Jackson said, presenting his opinion. “Jackson 4.”
“Fuck off.”
“No.”
“Never in a million years.”
They all gave different nas for the next few minutes before Aiden suggested a na.
“Drears.” They all looked at him. “For the dream to reach the top.”
They all thought about it for a minute before nodding. This sounded like a good na. Unfortunately, though, it seed like Caron still wanted to go with Rock heads for a while.
It was then that Wade suddenly opened the bar door before quickly finding them.
He looked in a bit of a hurry, and there was a constant smile on his face.
“Wade, you are late.”
Aiden said, but Wade didn’t respond. Instead, he took a deep breath before shouting like he was announcing Sothing.
“Aiden, you are nominated for Indie Music awards!”
Those words resounded in the whole bar. Everyone turned silent for a mont before erupting in joy.
…
