Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Cause you're my flashlight, You're my flashlight. Yeah you're my flashlight Ooh

I see shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
Cause you light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night

Can't lie, it's a sweet life

I finished the song and then I recorded the harmonies I wanted to add in and the backup vocals. I then added a few echo effects and matched the recording to the track. Once I finished editing the actual song I looked at the video footage. I put the song as the background music first so I could match the song to my lips.

It took me three hours to finalize the video and it took me an hour and half to edit my voice to fit the soundtrack to my liking. So I finished around lunch time. I was really happy with my video and I made sure to save it.

@MaliaIDallas: I just recorded a song and made my first music video haha kind of proud should I post it today?

I then went downstairs and made my lunch. I heated up some ravioli and spaghetti sauce and then I mixed it together and began to eat it as I walked back up the stairs to my room. I scrolled through the comments and saw that my nafians were super excited to see the music video.

@MaliaIDallas: alright guys I am uploading it now.

I went to YouTube and started to upload the video.

Well that felt good. It felt good to give my nafians some content. But now I need to occupy myself again. I decided to text the guys to see how they were doing on their flights. The only one I didn't have to text was Carter because he lived in LA and he was going to drive down and pick up Shawn, Taylor, and Aaron when they arrived at 4:30pm. Jack, Jack, Nash, Hayes, and Matt were arriving between 3 and 3:15 so Cam and I were going to pick them up.

Malia: How is everyone's flight going?
Jack G: just splendid this guy won't stop snoring
Jack J: HEY that's not nice I'm right here
Malia: How can he be snoring if he's awake?
Jack G: Trust me its possible.
Malia: Haha okay. How about the rest of you?
Matt: Long flight and I'm miserable I just can't wait to see you ;)
Malia: I'm sorry babe but you will be landing in a couple hours.
Nash: Alright keep your mushy stuff to your own text messages.
Hayes: Yes please no one wants to get notifications about this stuff.
Malia: I love you guys too and I can't wait to see you all J
Jack J: See you soon Mals
Malia: see y'all soon ;)
