2022-01-07 - This Is Your Song

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Hey Kiddo, I thought of a dare, you down?

(TXT to ) Rick : Hey. I should be, yes. What's the dare?

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Figured I would make it easy on you. But I want a little build up before I just tell you what it is! Just know whatever happens, it's going to get around the department. You still okay with that?

(TXT to ) Rick : Build up? Do I need to start worrying?

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Of course I want you to worry. That's part of the fun. You'll have one hour to do it.

(TXT to ) Rick : One hour from when? And what will I need to do?

(TXT to Rick) Dani : One hour from now and all you have to do is.. Write me a song, any song of your creation and voice record yourself singing it. Send it to me when you’re done 🙂 - Ready! Set! Go!

(TXT to ) Rick : How long? The song, that is...

(TXT to Rick) Dani : At least 2 verses and 1 chorus. Doesn't have to be long. Quality over Quantity, right?

(TXT to ) Rick : Riiiight...

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Good luck and anytime you're down for a rematch, you let me know! 🙂

(TXT to ) Rick : (Recording of Rick actually singing a song, a relatively slow and thoughtful one.)

"Late in the evening, he's sitting by the door
In his mind, thoughts of what was before.
Empty around him, all through the night
Lost in his prison, looking for a light

But what do you do when it's not there?
Try not to give in to your inner fear.
The drink and the waiting for something new
Might actually lead to that better you

For far have you travelled
And much have you seen
Your mind you have grappled
But how have you been?
I hope it is coming, when demons will fold
And you get to walk through those meadows of gold."

(TXT to Rick) Dani : ..You wrote that?

(TXT to ) Rick : Just some rambling thoughts, really. Maybe I just got carried away.

(TXT to Rick) Dani : No. No you didn't. That's.. deep Rick. And it's freaking incredible. I won't share it if you don't want me to. Who know you could write and sing?

(TXT to ) Rick : I knew I could sing, just not that I could... write.

(TXT to Rick) Dani : You can sing yes. But those words! Do you mind if I share or not? I think it may be too private, but I leave that to you. I have to tell you that's.. crazy good.

(TXT to ) Rick : I don't mind, really.

(TXT to Rick) Dani : I feel like I owe YOU for that. Thank you for sharing that with me.

(TXT to ) Rick : You're welcome, I think.

(TXT to Rick) Dani : You think? Anything you'd do differently?

(TXT to ) Rick : Not really sure. I might have had some help... by someone from inside a bottle. I think he's called Jack, or something...

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Drinking without me?

(TXT to ) Rick : Hey... I needed the inns... inspiration...

(TXT to Rick) Dani : You okay alone?

(TXT to ) Rick : I'll be fine. Perhaps a bit headachey when I wake up, but all in all, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking.

(TXT to Rick) Dani : Alright, if you're sure. Thanks for being a good sport about the dare. I'll see ya tomorrow.

(TXT to ) Rick : See you tomorrow.
