Outside the window, snow was slowly falling from the dark sky filled with clouds. No matter where he looked, everything was covered in white.

It was an atmosphere in which one just didn’t want to wrap himself with blankets and stay cooped up in a room. After looking for a few minutes, Aiden closed up the window and sat down on his chair.

Completely opposite from the outside, his room was completely heated up, so much so that Aiden felt like taking a nap.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time for that.

‘I need to complete a few guide tracks before the New Year.’

The work on his office would complete in the first week of January and then, he could shift his whole album work there. With the underground studio that was getting prepared, he would work more efficiently there.

But currently, he needed to make do with the DAW (Digital audio workstation).

“There’s so many different types of sound I could make for my album but I need to be careful…”

Aiden muttered, opening up the workstation.

As it was his first full fledged album, there was a lot of uncertainty in his mind. He didn’t want to go away from his style of music in an effort to try something new and failing.

Still, he needed to keep the music creative.

‘I at least have one song that would work well.’

Aiden thought, glancing at a piece of paper that was on the corner of the table. It was actually a letter that he had gotten from one of his fans.

He had received it just last week and reading it, he had gotten inspiration to write a song. In the letter, a girl was thanking Aiden for making ‘Lost in the Sky’ as it helped her during the time when she and her boyfriend were having problems with marrying due to both of them belonging to different races.

The song made her feel like that a new chapter of her life would also be good and it would be a good chapter.

Reading the letter, an idea had instantly struck his mind.

“A song about forbidden love.”

It was right up his alley and Aiden was sure that he could make a good song on this topic. Moreover, it gave a pretty solid theme to the composition.

Love was something that musicians would universally write about, so much so that it had become a cliche and many of them forget that a song on love could have a wide amount of subtopics in it and Aiden was going to just do that.

‘Let’s give the song a story.’

In his mind, a story was slowly forming. Two people with different status and colour, trying to be together but even if they wanted to be together, society wasn’t so easy to face.

Even though humans had evolved a lot with time, becoming more technology advanced, they still lived in a world where money, status and even religion and colour still mattered in different parts of the world.

Trying to immerse himself in that story, Aiden tried out different instruments and sounds.

Guitar, keyboard, drums and even flute, he tried a lot of different things with different frequencies for each instrument. In the end, after a lot of trying, he was finally able to make a 45 second guide track that he felt suited the lyrics in his mind.

Obviously, a guide track still needed a lot of work on it but he had a lot of ideas for the final version.

One of those ideas was something he felt that fit the song a lot.







‘A duet. A proper duet song.’

As the song was about forbidden love, he felt that he needed to include a female voice in it too with it being almost like lovers talking to each other.

Duets weren’t that popular in the current music scene as most singers would just feature in each other’s song, not really dividing the whole song in two parts or doing something creative.

It was just following a pattern.

Aiden wanted to change that with this song.

‘This song would need to have a great voice for the female part.’

He thought, deciding to talk with Wade about it. He was already in talks with record labels for collaborations and till now, only Neu Entertainment had agreed with Grey more than ready to do a song with Aiden.

“It’s going to be a very important start of the year for us this time. I really hope it sells well.”

Marshall White, the owner of Vikings publishing glanced at the calendar on the wall. The date ‘7th Jan’ was circled with a red marker.

It was the day when
