After Rammstein

Holy Scheiße

I woke up to the sun shining on me through the balcony, I got up and rubbed my eyes "oh god..." I looked over to the bed Richard was in to notice he was gone...hmm. I got up and began walking into the living room of the hotel room while stretching "good morning!" I heard come from the kitchen "yeah..morning bleh" I looked to see Richard making something "you don't like mornings?" I made a 'are you serious' face while sitting at the table "no..the sun sucks" he laughed "no wonder you're so pale" pfft.. "Says you..." He snickered while placing a plate of pancakes in front of me "you can cook?" He nodded and sighed "I'm in my late forties, of course I can cook" he was that old?! Woah... Ehh age is just a number as long as it's legal. I just shrugged it off "after you're done eating get ready, your surprise is today" I looked over to him texting "what is my 'surprise' ? And why am I getting one?" He looked up from his phone "I can't tell you what it is that'd beat the point of a surprise and I've told you it's for helping me" I nodded "okay, well what should I wear for this surprise?" He just shrugged "whatever you want" I nodded and kept eating.

After finishing up I showered and through on a black sundress and black sandals, I curled my hair and did my make up with simple gloss and wing eyeliner. I looked decent enough for a person who didn't know what the hell a surprise she was getting is, my look was basic yet stylish so even if it's just a fast food restraunt I won't be overdressed.

"Okay, I'm ready" I said calling out to Richard who was still texting "okay let's g-" he stopped when he looked at me, I became self conscious and looked away "what? Am I overdressed?" His mouth remained open "no, you just..look older" oh..not pretty though. I just nodded and grabbed my purse and phone and we walked out of the hotel room, after getting to the car which I let him drive again I pulled up my music and noticed most my songs were Rammstein, so I just began playing 'sonne' (my favorite Rammstein song ever!) to which Richard just looked at me amused as I attempted to sing along in german, and I was pretty much nailing it playing the guitar riffs in mid air then came on büch dich, and I kept going.

I wasn't sure where we were going so I just sang along to the music and observed the scenery. While sitting at a stoplight three guys in a car beside us looked over to the car gawking at it in awe, then they seen me and began waving and smiling, I just gave a small wave while Richard rolled his eyes "what?" I asked "those kids are dicks" what? "Why? They were being friendly..." He just shook his head "they seen a pretty girl in a nice car they were wanting something and it's not the car" I just went wide eyed "oh.." So I turned to see the guys still making gestures to me...now it was becoming more clear so I did what any girl would do, I flipped them off and Richard laughed as their faces contorted into anger it was quite amusing.

Finally we pulled into a parking lot with five other cars there "where are we?" I asked curious "a recording studio" why are we at a recording studio? I decided not to question it...

As he led me in I followed his lead, not seeing anyone else in the building "where is everyone? I saw cars in the parking lot..." I said starting to get worried that the clerk had been murdered and we were next...wow I really go for the worst scenarios right? He led me into a white room with nothing more than a guitar and microphone with a stool "okay so get the guitar and I'll go back and record you" what? "Wait..what?!" My head was swimming "this is your first surprise, you said you knew how to play, so play" I stood there shocked with my mouth open "you do know how to play right?" I nodded "yeah but..I don't think I can with you watching..." I gestured towards the tinted glass "ahh, you're a shy one..just like Till" I blushed, he compared me to Till Lindemann I'm not sure to be complimented or not... I grabbed the electric guitar and threw the strap over myself "just relax..it's just me" ha, easy for him to say "oh and you'll need to sing..so what song are you going to do?" I wasn't prepared for this..."can I cover sonne?" I asked, that's the only song I could think about right now...he nodded but looked amused while I sat there mentally freaking out...I'd be playing the guitar for a guitar lord himself..Richard Kruspe.

"Do you know the notes?" I nodded apparently I had lost my ability to speak..."okay, well just breathe and go whenever you feel ready. I won't even look at you if it makes you feel better" I smiled a little "okay I'm ready" he adjusted a few more things before going out and into the tinted room across from me "okay go ahead" it's now or never.. I need to impress Richard. I'm not a singer by any means am I not up to Till's level..so here I go...
Eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben, acht, neun, aus
Alle warten auf das Licht
furchtet euch furchtet euch nicht
die Sonne scheint mir aus den Augen
sie wird heut Nacht nicht untergehen
und die Welt zahlt laut bis zehn
Eins
Hier kommt die Sonne
Zwei
Hier kommt die Sonne
Drei
Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
Vier
Hier kommt die Sonne
Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Handen
kann verbrennen, kann euch blenden
wenn sie aus den Fausten bricht
legt sich heiss auf das Gesicht
sie wird heut Nacht nicht untergehen
und die Welt zahlt laut bis zehn

My nerves were fine, I felt the butterflies leave my stomach yet my adrenaline filed throughout my body as I heard what I was capable of and may I say...I may not be a singer but a back up singer, now that was a possibility. I finished the song strong and over a loud speaker I heard Richard "YOU WERE GREAT! You didn't say you were that good!" I just smiled and blushed..oh the swelling of my ego. "Come on in here and I'll let you hear what I heard" I nodded placing the guitar down. As I opened the door and closed it I stopped to just understand what I had just heard...Richard said I was great, I decided not to keep him waiting so I opened the door right beside the one I had just closed to see Richard..plus five other men staring at me in awe "oh my god"...
