auuuuuuuuuuuuuugust

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

hellllooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

what are you doing right now!

How honest do you want me to be?

uhm im kinda scared of your honest answer now? Lie to me

isn't that a song or something

I don't know, I don't listen to that kinda music

How do you know what kinda music that is though? 👀

it just sounds like the title of a very cringey pop song, doesn't it?

I bet you'd listen to it if it was like written by Bring me the horizon or something

first of all im really surprised you know that band, second of all i would have in high school but not today!

I know stuff ;)

i'm sure you didn't mean for it to sound the way it did but this is very amusing

oh ha-ha-ha !

You'd listen to a song called Lie to Me if I wrote it though, right? :))

uhu..... sure...... I mean, you'd have to force me

Yeah, just like I forced you to listen to Lover!!!

pffftttt Niko forced me technically

And the fact that you absolutely adoooooooooore me and my music :)

Ehh

I mean, I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️

You are i m p o s s i b l e

WE'RE GETTING SIDE TRACKED

Wait, so you're telling me this conversation actually had a purpose?

shut up you enjoy texting me!!

Ehh

I mean, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

touché

So, what's up!

Are you busy right now?

Do you want the whole truth or only half the truth?

this again?😭

fine! the whole truth

Im gonna regret this, arent i?

maybe

I'm just pooping, really

PFFFTTTTTTT that's so lame

Why did you make it out to be something so ✨ scandalous ✨?

I didn't!! You did though and I only played along :)

well jeeeeez then! I'm just never going to ask again and just demand things from you

so, this is a business conversation?

Okay, hold on! Let me get up and wipe so we can be professional!

Should I dress up for the occasion too?

Dont be

brutal pls!!

taaaaaaaaaaylor

its been like ten minuuuuuuuutes

youre so whiny!!!

Sorry, I had to feed my cats!

Anyway! I've just listened to it and I'm utterly speechless! This is amazing, August! Did you just come up with it?

I've been working on it for some time, actually!! I might need some help with the lyrics for the bridge. It's a little tricky

Hmm okay! Give me a moment or two

Thank you LIFE SAVER😩🙏

maybe that should be my contact name in your phone 👀

no.

Whatever 🙄

So, do you have any ideas for the bridge?

Yes!

something like

dududuudu that's the melody going up into the peak like until it reaches the denouement and it's like

something about having loved and being loved and lost and like you know to complete the theme of the song but then it's like bam! maybe its all a load of bullshit and it comes crashing down with the music like you heard in the instrumental bit that i recorded and yeah it just goes into the chorus again! and then duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun it ends on that

major chord instead, like oh, no actually, maybe theres hope?

That's actually fucking genius

August seriously, the music literally tells the story you're trying to tell even without the lyrics

I hope you understand just how special that is

stoooop i'll get emotional😩

OKAY lemme brain storm and get back to you

thanks :)))

a little bit of love, they say, is better than none

hmmm how about

I heard a little bit of love is better than none

What a load of bullshit, I say, I know I'm not your only, but at least I was one

then BAM chorus!

HOLD ON

that might just be perfect OMG THANK YOU

You wrote it!! I'm glad to have helped out though!!

brb

Okay!!
