The guys were in general really nice. We all walked into the recording room as Schneider began getting his drums together, "so, I was thinking we'd do Engel" yes!!!!! "Sounds good" flake then turned to me "do you know the female vocals?" Of course I do, I could sing that entire song with frontwards, backwards and upside down..heh "yeah" I watched as Till turned to smirk at Flake...what was that about? He just shrugged it off. Richard walked back in carrying his signature RZK guitar...I couldn't help but gaze upon it, he must've noticed because he handed it to me "really? I get to use it?!" He smiled and nodded "wow...just to think this guitar has been in more places than I've ever been in my entire life..." Richard laughed "i doubt that" I shook my head "even though they travel everywhere, I never go with them. Never cared to go along" he nodded "are you rich or something?" Paul asked, I sighed "yeah, you could say that." Richard turned to them "her dad owns a guitar company and her moms a pretty well known actress in America" their eyes went wide "what's her name?" I finally looked up from the guitar "Scarlett Vivian Parker, and my dads Aaron David Parker" mom had been in a german movie not as a lead role but just some mistress in a small chick flick but I didn't expect them to know her "I've heard of her! Yeah she was in that one movie, oh uhh..." I watched as Oliver started tapping his foot and snapping his fingers trying to think "She was in the german remake of Dynasty, she played Leo's mistress..." I answered for him "that's right!" Of course it is... "Okay well are you a celebrity we should know about?" I shook my head "she wants to be a musician" Till smiled "well, you have the skills.." I said thanks and went back to adoring Richards guitar.
"So shall we start?" Till asked I nodded it had been established that I'd be lead guitarist and the singing the fema,DS vocals. I was so excited yet in the pit of my stomach I felt terrified... But trying to be professional I kept it together...Richard went to record us. Over the loud speaker he began talking "you guys ready?" They nodded "Ivy? Ready?" I nodded and then he said something else in german which I could hardly understand " leicht auf sie, ich weiß nicht, wie gut sie ist" (be easy on her, i dont know how good she is) I figured it was about me because I noticed they were looking at me so I just raised an eyebrow "Ja, ja!" Till shouted and Schneider began counting us off with drumstick taps...here it goes,
Wer zu Lebzeit gut auf Erden
wird nach dem Tod ein Engel werden
den Blick gen Himmel fragst du dann
warum man sie nicht sehen kann
Hearing Till sing the first verse was incredible live, it helped me get engulfed in the music, too feel okay.
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
I sang as good as I possibly could, while keeping up playing the guitar. My head still couldn't understand that I was singing with Rammstein...I was playing Richards signature concert guitar.. I feel so special, plus I'm nailing this!
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein
Sie leben hinterm Sonnenschein
getrennt von uns unendlich weit
sie müssen sich an Sterne krallen (ganz fest)
damit sie nicht vom Himmel fallen
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein
Erst wenn die Wolken schlafengehn
kann man uns am Himmel sehn
wir haben Angst und sind allein
Gott weiß ich will kein Engel
And with that last verse we quit "that was great Ivy!" Till said "thanks" I felt my face heat up "let's go listen to it!" Paul and Oliver ran through the door "I'll be there In a minute" they nodded as they exited, I sat back down on the stool and stared at Richards guitar again... I began playing, I don't know what I was playing but it sounded nice before I knew it I was singing under my breathe..nothing meaningful just random words. I forgot I was supposed to meet the guys so I hurried and out the guitar down "damnit!" I whisper shouted, and ran out the door composing myself and then entering the recording room to a bunch of guys just looking at me. I began getting self conscious and looked to the ground "Ivy.." I looked to Reesh "yeah?" He with Ollie and Paul were smirking "you know we could hear and see you right?" Oh..shit. I tried playing it off "yeah?" I said it sounded more like a question "actually no...but umm.." I wanted to literally crawl under a table and cry "she's still better than Richard!" Thank you Schneider, I looked over to him who had broken my awkwardness, he just winked. Everyone was laughing at his comment which gave me time to calm down and we began listening to our recording...it sounded...AMAZING! I couldn't help but smile knowing that it was me I was hearing singing with my favorite band, it was me..
