prologue

Los Angeles 1995

one, two, three, four

the drummer of the band playing at the orpheum counted his band mates in as they starting singing.

take off
last stop
countdown til we blast open the top
face first full charge
electric hammer to the heart

the lead singer started singing, whilst bouncing to the beat of the song. he got to the pre chorus and the rest of the band started joining in with singing

clocks more faster
it's all we're after now

their rhythm guitarist held his guitar up and strummed it harshly creating a contrasting sound.

won't stop climbing
cause this is our time yeah

the bassist joined the lead and they sang together into one microphone before the guitarist pushed him away. the lead continued singing as everyone rocked out

when all the days felt black and white
those were the best shades of my life

don't look down
cause we're still rising
up right now
and even if we
hit the ground
we'll still fly
keep dreaming like we'll live forever
but live it like it's now or never

the drummer started singing his solo, with the bassist echoing the words.

we ain't searching for tomorrow
(tomorrow)

cause we got all we need today
(today)

the lead guitarist started singing again, singing with a rasp in his voice but pushing the passion though the words

living on a feeling that's been running through our veins

the bassist sang his line running his hand through his hair with a smirk

we're the revolution that's been singing in the rain

the whole band started clapping along to the beat on the song as they all stopped playing their instruments.

don't look down
cause we're still rising
up right now

the lead guitarist swung his guitar over his shoulder as they all struck he same chord and continued to rock out to the song.

and even if we
hit the ground
we'll still fly
keep dreaming like we'll live forever
but live it like it's now or never

now or never...

the song came to and end the band all left out a breath, sweat clinging to their foreheads as they grinned.

"whoo! excellent!" a girl, with long blonde hair, yelled running towards the stage.

"sounds great guys" one guy called

the bassist grinned "thank you! we're sunset curve!"

the rhythm guitarist turned to their lead and held his hand out for a fist bump "too bad we wasted that on sound check. that's the richest we've ever played"
