Hi there popkids.
Die hard listees among you will remember the saga of the boy sebastian, and
his actress friend, who we shall call, er, belle. (though she's really called
C********e) We first met the two of them in an Ink Polaroid, sebastian alone
in the snow, belle walking off into the whiteout, oblivious to the broken
heart that she had left behind.
Well now we join them again. sebastian is staring mornfully into his
pint of vile bitter. He's just met richard, belle's new boyfriend. sebastian
has wide trousers, an honest smile, and a battered russian novel, richard has
a six pack, a house in hampstead, and a part in casualty.
1-0 to the new tall elegant rich kids.
But on the bus home, sebastian smiles through his tears. For he has a secret
weapon. belle loves the same music as sebastian. they agree on most things,
from flowers to the colour of buses. (green is best) But they particularly
agree about music. That pretty scottish band reminds her why she likes him so
much, and reminds him why he keeps on making a fool of himself for her. So
sebastian makes a tape. Having a six pack's great, but only music can reach
right into your soul, and make you feel happy, even as you cry.
richard doesn't listen to music, you see.
The tape looks great, he's blown up a little picture, until it
fills the whole page. a boy, his face torn between agony and ecstacy, eyes
half closed, lips half open, like a martyr, ready for a kiss..
But he has to write something, add something more, just a line, a
lyric she'll hear, and keep forever in her heart- something that'll mean more
to her than muscles and B list celebrity. Something to break open her heart,
just like she did to him.
What should sebastian write?
