this week's story is based on a contemporary love song, by a Nashville trio. I'm not going to give anymore away right now, as I do think this shouldn't be tough :). But clues will be posted throughout the day and the YouTube clip will be posted on Thursday. Have fun and enjoy the story!
New clue: As of April 17, 2011, the song is the 9th most downloaded song in history, moving 5,000,000 copies, and is the most downloaded country song in history as of April 2011, surpassing Taylor Swift's "Love Story"
Finally he gives in and calls her number, only to have his heart dip as he connects to her voice mail. There would be no
sweet relief from the over riding desire to talk to her. Does he ever cross
her mind?
He hangs his head and
leaves a message. Call me.
Lying on her bed, the battery indicator of her phone glows red. But
all she notices are memories she already shares with him.Picture perfect memories.
The first time they met.
The first time they laughed together. How happy she was
to see him throwing back his head to laugh delightedly with her.
Meetings where they both danced around their
feelings, perhaps these tugging emotions could be ignored. Or were they real and she
might – maybe – have to feel the hurt anew that can come with loving someone?
She brushes her mouth lightly with her fingers, wondering
what it would be like to feel his lips upon hers.
She paces. Was he thinking of her? She needs him now.
The night is in full swing. Beautiful girls flirt with him and try to catch his attention but it keeps wandering to her. He drinks another shot, unable to pull his eyes
from the door. Is she going to appear and create sunlight
where before there were shadows? Did he ever cross her mind?
It was getting
late and the alcohol was going to his head. He really didn't think he could do without
her, wanting her to be right there, beside him. Then, and only then, would he be able to think again.
She picks up her bag and runs out the door. Far better to risk being hurt then not to feel anything, ever again. It was time to not be alone anymore, not when
he walks the earth. And when hers connects with his, a brand new bubble of a world weaves and sparkles around them. She wants to be in their world.
He needs her now. Was
she coming? The door opens for what seems like the hundredth time that hour. He sees familiar hair. His heart expands and adrenaline rushes through his veins. Is
it her? Desperately, he tries to get a better view of the door.
He was right.
She was here.
All was right in their world.
I'm afraid I don't know the song, will look forward to hearing it on Thursday - I love happy endings!

ReplyDeleteI just can't figure these out!!!
ReplyDeleteokay here's another clue :) A music video was shot for the song, directed by Dave McClister. In the video the song has an extended piano intro, and features all members of the group acting out scenes related to the storyline.[10] The song was initially released only to the country radio format in the United States and Canada on August 24, 2009,[1] but was remixed and re-released to all other formats domestically and internationally at the beginning of 2010.
