Back in the studio Nico and I sat down beside the desk. He got his notebook again with a pen. I was curious what kind of song he was writing now. So I asked what he was writing.
"Nico?"
"Yes?"
"What are you writing in your notebook? New songs?"
"In fact I am yes." He smiled.
Nico shove the notebook to me so I could read the text or lyrics he wrote down. I was flipping through the pages when my eyes fell on an unfinished lyric:
[Verse 1]
I don't want to waste another night
Flipping over every single lie
Going from "I love you" to "Goodbye"
Mercy, show a little mercy, (yeah)
Can't believe that I was so naive
All the little tricks you played on me
Should've know the beauty is the beast
Hurt me, why you wanna hurt me? (Yeah)
[Pre-chorus]
It took me forever but it turner into a never
Like a promise doesn't matter
When you're changing like the weather
Do you think you'll ever
Find someone to love you better?
"Nico, this is amazing." When I showed him the lyrics he wrote.
"You think? I'm not sure how to continue on."
Again I looked at the lyrics and moved to the piano that was standing in the studio as well. My fingers touching slowly the piano keys. There was it I had a melody in my head when reading the lyrics. When the words also came up in my mind. Nico was so surprised he didn't know what was happening. When he heard me singing, he got immediately his phone to record the words I was singing. It went like this:
"Oh, was it easy to let me down?
Was it easy when you walked out?
Tell me, was it somebody, somebody new
That you made me wanna leave?
Was it easy to let me down?
Why the hell did you shut me out?
Tell me, was it somebody, somebody new?
Don't tell me it was easy, so easy to.
Let me down, let me down, let me down
Let me down, let me down, easy
Let me down, let me down, let me down
Don't tell me it was easy."
I turned around when I was done singing.
"You better recorded that mister!"
"HANNAH! How?! I didn't know you were so talented!"
"Me? I have never actually sang a song well in the shower. But I loved to write lyrics when I was young."
"It's beautiful! I think you gave my song a new direction and a chorus! Oh my I'm so happy!"
He was speaking the truth, he was totally excited. Nico sat down next to me on the piano stool and wrote down the chorus I had been singing in his notebook. Above the lyrics he wrote "Easy". Questioned I looked at the title first and back to his face.
"That's the title?"
"Yep, we should finish the song together!"
"Hello you write here the songs and sing them for a living. I'm just your personal assistant."
"Hannah, stop being a pain in the arse. I know you can do much more then this."
"I don't want to ruin your song!"
"YOU DON'T!" Nico yelled at me.
I was in shock when he just yelled at me like that.
"Hannah, stop being negative about yourself and anything else! You helped me and I want to finish this song with you, please!"
"Okay okay calm down! We will finish it then. Because I have more ideas."
Nico shook his head and smiled to me.
"Give me your notebook Nico."
He gave me his notebook and a pen. I put the notebook on the music stand that was on the piano. More words and sentences came in my mind and wrote the second verse in no time.
[Verse 2]
You know how I love you in that dress
You're just makin' sure I won't forget
Everything we used to do in bed
Mercy, show a little mercy (yeah)
Kinda makes me wanna cross a line
How you makin' sure you cross my mind
Can't do nothing, now I wonder
Why you wanna hurt me?
Why you wanna hurt me? (Yeah)
Nico started to play the melody I had played again before and sang the verse I just had written down. Goosebumps appeared on my skin when I heard his voice. My lord his voice was so pure and feeling good to listen too. Not knowing what I did I laid my head on his shoulder and enjoyed listening to his voice.
While Nico was playing and singing and when he felt that I laid my head on his shoulder a small smile appeared on his face.
When he was done he sighed happily.
"Thanks Hannah. We should continue tomorrow here again. It's quite late now."
"Why not finish now? I thought you were a night owl."
"Sure? Let's do it then."
