《Music System》Chapter 11
Advertisement
After his binge recording the previous day Saturn still hadn't been satisfied so he brought his guitar to work and left in with Luther. He also told him the drum part of the song so that he could practice. Once he did all that Saturn went about his work day.
It was a pretty average work day. Went in played fairly advanced songs that he had been practicing. He got around three hundred dollars in tips. He had Chinese with Samantha who didn't drop anymore hints asking him out. Apparently she got herself a boyfriend; at least that's what Saturn heard from one of Samantha's coworkers.
The entire day Saturn stayed excited, not as much as yesterday though.
" Alright Luther this song is called " Lady in Black ".
" Alright Saturn, ready when you are. "
Saturn really liked the song when he came about it while trying to remember all his past lives memories. He really liked the song an knew that he had to introduce it to his world.
The only problem was that he had a bit of trouble deciding which voice to go with though. He found a couple different versions of the song that had minute differences despite being sung by the same person. He had narrowed his choices down to two voices. One was a live voice that had more charisma and emotion while the other was a recorded version; the recorded version sounded more professional with a wider vocal range. After much deliberation Saturn decided to go with the recorded voice.
Saturn was holding one of the acoustic guitars from Luther's shop.
He started playing the guitar. A few seconds he started singing.
Saturn had a small smirk on his face, completely different from his usual look. He was standing as opposed to sitting on the stool that was in the booth, he did this because he would always shuffle along with the music; he wouldn't be able to if he was sitting.
Luther was also nodding his head, he really liked the mood and general effect of the song. It was such a good song and yet Luther had never heard any other kind of song of the genre which surprised him.
One should understand that in Luther's and Saturn's world the most popular type's of music were instrumental metal music, Memphis rap ( though it isn't called that ), and pop music. Most other genres don't get much play time on the radio and if one wanted to listen to them they would have to use a media streaming app; which is inconvenient to use when someone wants to find rough diamonds. Most of what you'd find is average and boring.
That means that most don't actually listen to anything other than the three most popular genres. Though recently there had been some movements to get other genres more popular.
Luther was someone who would tried getting different genres recognized, but he didn't have much an internet presence.
That's one of the reasons he appreciates Saturn. Since Saturn didn't do the common types of music.

" So how was that Luther? "
" Amazing, I can't wait till we get the song done and out in the world. "
The old man was really passionate and some of that rubbed off onto Saturn.
" Then get in here, you've been practicing what I showed you right? "
" You know I have. "
After that the older fellow walked into the booth and sat at the drums. Saturn went out into the studio area and put on the massive headphones.
The old man sat down and started nodding his head to set a tempo for himself. He always did it before he started playing his drums.
Luther was a man who always had the dream of being a musician and owning a music shop. Even when he was a kid he practiced drums and when he went into the military he practiced when he could. Though he couldn't practice actually playing drums he practiced rhythm and tempo and other vital skills for a drummer.
Even despite getting upwards in age he never lost his touch and instead kept getting better. Saturn could tell the man's passion and enjoyment towards playing the drums just from the way he sat at the drums. The man radiated excitement.
A few seconds later Luther started playing drums in time with the music. He did it perfectly too.
What Saturn didn't know though was that matching the drums with the music is harder than vice versa.
The two spent around two hours to get everything recorded and put together. By the time they were done both of them were starving.
" Luther, once again thank you for everything. How about I treat you to dinner. "
" I appreciate the offer but my family and I have plans. We have this weekly dinner thing that we do so that we know what's happening with each other. It was something that my wife started. "
" That's really nice Luther. Your wife sounds like a wonderful woman. "
Luther smiled, but what he said next didn't really match.
" She hated everybody but me and our kids. She was basically the definition of anti-social. "
Saturn didn't know how to respond.
" Oh. "
" Anyway I'll see ya tomorrow Saturn, are you wanting to do any more recording tomorrow. "
" Naw I have a song I want to do, but it'll take a few days of practice. How about we meet up a week from now. I'll email you the drums section. "
" What's the part you'll have problems with? "
" The vocals. I am doing something different from normal singing. "
" Then how about we record everything else and get everything perfect. Rather than winging it like usual. "
" Leave it to the old man to come up with the wise decision. "
" Well if age did anything for me it gave me wisdom. For every wrinkle on my face I got a bit more wisdom. "
" Bit to much. "

" Sccrrreeeewwwww you man. "
" Hehe. See you tomorrow Luther. "
" See ya. "
( I seriously considered having Luther die, but I think I'll let ya'll get more attached before killing him off. 😇 )
Saturn put away his guitar and left Luther's store. He left through the rear door since the main entrance was closed. He left towards the parking lot. His tahoe was out there all on it's lonesome except for one tiny little silver sedan. Saturn knew it wasn't Luther's so he was curious about who the car belonged to. In the end though he didn't think much about it.
As he was walking past it he glanced inside and saw Samantha crying in the front seat. He hand't seen her from the side since her windows were tinted except for the front and rear wind shield. Saturn contemplated going towards her. In the end he decided to put his guitar away before trying to talk to her.
So he put his guitar in the trunk before he walked to her drivers side window. The young woman didn't see him doing any of that since she had her head leaning on her steering wheel while crying. Saturn tapped on window lightly.
He barely kept himself from cracking up when she jumped up from fear. When she realized it was Saturn though she relaxed and rolled down her window.
" What the hell Saturn, you scared the hell out of me. "
" Sorry Sam, I saw you crying and was kind of worried. "
" Thanks, I was supposed to meet this guy so we could go on a date, but he stood me up, again. I don't know why, I just couldn't handle it and well . . . . You see what happened. "
" I'm sorry Sam, anything I can do to help? "
" I doubt you could beat him up could you? "
" I could, but I have to keep up my good behavior. I have an assessment soon and I don't want to go back to jail. "
" Then would you like to go out to eat, I could use someone to vent on. "
Saturn hesitated a little. He didn't understand why she would want him to go with her, but he did kind of feel bad for her. In the end he relented to her cute puppy dog eye's.
" Sure you lead I'll follow you. "
Samantha smiled.
" Sweet, thanks Saturn. "
" Yeah, yeah. "
After that Samantha lead Saturn to a pretty nice restaurant. On the way the two had played around a little with Saturn speeding past her on the road. Or when the stopped at a red light he would rev his car, the universal sign for a race. Saturn had also texted his mother he would be late and explained the situation. His mother responded with a single sentence text.
" If she drags you back to her house, remember to use protection. "
Saturn didn't understand and sent her a text.
" Mom she's so small that she could wail on me for an hour and do zero damage. I don't think I'd need protection. "
Amelia was cracking up on her end, but she sent a serious text.
" I meant a condom idiot. "
Saturn was surprised and felt kind of awkward so he just used his cop out response.
" Oh. "
The two pulled into the restaurant together. Conveniently the two found two open spots directly beside each other. ( PLOT ARMOUR. Please don't rage. )
The two walked together into the Chinese restaurant. Apparently Samantha took Saturn into consideration when deciding where to eat. Saturn was still in his suit that he wore at work while Samantha was wearing a pair of really tight pair of high waist jeans and a crop top.
( I don't know if I am thinking of the right clothes. If I am, then I must say that such a pair of clothes are my favorite out fit to see ladies wear. Is that to personal? )
Saturn thought that Sam looked gorgeous, but he wouldn't say it.
When the two walked in a middle aged Asian woman lead them to a booth. Saturn ordered water while Sam ordered hot tea.
After that Sam proceeded to vent on Saturn for an hour straight at least. Saturn didn't count. She kept talking about gut problems, as though Saturn was that cliche gay friend. She also complained about her boss and co workers and her school problems. Saturn hadn't known that she was in college. What surprised him even more was that she majored in criminal psychology. She minored in linguistics.
At that point the conversation branched out from her complaining to a real conversation. They talked about how Saturn was interested in learning a different language, Scots/ Gaelic specifically. Sam talked about wanting to own her own clothing company. Saturn then talked about how he took her advice and started uploading and recording his music onto WeStream. Sam promised to check it out and subscribe. Eventually after two hours they decided to leave.
" Anyway, if you want you can stay the night at my place. "
" Sam, I'm flattered, but not right now. Maybe in the future. "
Samantha just nodded her head and hopped in her car. Not before handing Saturn a note.
" Call me when you're ready. "
On the note was her phone number with a kissy face emoji. Saturn just smiled and watched her leave.
On his way back home he thought about if he wanted a girlfriend. He also thought about all of Samantha's good points.
She's pretty, smart, has her own job, she is also hilarious. She was basically the ideal girlfriend for Saturn. Most important for him though is that she had a phat ass from her physical training.
Saturn just shook his head at that point and focused on driving home.
