Four individuals were pnning at full throttle, as if in a colorless world of memories. In the room, there were 230 years bined, and everyohere had a single goal—to withe artist fight with all their might. Human forces, often unseen and misuood, verged when two or more individuals worked toward a on end. They set aside wealth, eic value, fame, power, and all that goes unnoticed by people, fog on dreams, nostalgia, love, heaven, ah spiring toward a on goal.

  "No one's answering, damn fools. How they be ign me?" said Jerry, in a catatonic state, as if he had been transgressed in the worst possible way.

  "I've already called Arif Mardin," said Peter Wolf, pying with the studio phone cord, while the others used their cell phones.

  "Bahhh, that idiot only ahe phone when his wife calls," said Jerry.

  "Call Herb Abramson," suggested Peter.

  "Yeah, sounds good," Jerry said, dialing Herb Abramson's he founder of Atntic Records. The phoed a strong beeping sound, and they waited for the five beeps, but it tinued ringing.

  "No one's pig up," Jerry said after letting the ph for a while.

  "Let's wait a bit. Spencer and the kids should be arriving soon, and we haven't settled the matter yet," said Peter.

  "Let's tih the rec. Although Billy's take is fantastic, it has quite a few errors that be avoided. However, for the practical purposes of this demo, it's better to wait sometime, if possible, to correct them in the ing days," said Jason Fox.

  "Agreed. Let's record aake, with a more subdued tone aer vocal teiques. We'll teach the kid when he arrives," said Peter Wolf, a renowned artist from previous years, many years ago. He is here under Jerry's guidand his st efforts as an artist and part of the music, which has been relegated to posing and produg.

  "They've returned," said sky, in his deep voice.

  "Yes, teachers, I'm feelier now. After singing at full volume, my throat isn't aced to such physical demands," said Billy, massaging his chest. He had drunk a liter of water and gargled a bit, but the vibration from his singing had worn out his vocal cords, and he was reeo rest for 1 to 1.5 hours.

  "Well, you have tain. This time, try not to strain the vowels and take shallower breaths, without long notes. Just sing the song with a sweet voice. The lyrics are a plus, but the song is too demanding for your ability. Maybe if you practice opening ye, we could record it differently. To improve ye, get used to singing those notes with progressive practices. And well, it doesn't hurt to say that you o improve your breathing," said sky.

  Perf a precise, quick, and clear evaluation of why Billy ended up exhausted and the song wasn't cohesive, he cked siging capacity.

  "Yes, teacher, I'll do the best I to improve, but don't worry, I already have a pn in mind that has helped me progress. I just o wait; time is my great enemy," said Billy. Spencer made adjustments and noted down the ges with a pen, marking all the present adjustments.

  "e o's do aake. et ready, make it a bit more subdued, with slightly loempos both at the beginning and the end," said Spencer, the ges and making sounds with his mouth to mark or's drum beats. Both left the room discussing tempos and deliveries, and Billy watched his teacher's back, lost in his rhythm, keeping his goal of rec the demo in sight.

  "The sed song needs some touch-ups," Billy asked.

  "Not much. We're not rap and hip-hop experts, and the demo will be sent as is. The added values we're hoping for are the piano notes you jotted down along with the two high-pitched sounds. Peter Wolf has already taken care of putting it together, and he'll show you the designs ter. However, our main is shaping your song 'Like a Stone.' You have several ideas, and the song is a monster, especially when you sing it, but it needs more to be successful—a guitar, a drum, and a det rhythm that fits your singing," said sky.

  Showing him the recorded audio and some adjustments he had made, which paused the song and reshaped the rhythm, the issue was different from what he heard in his mind. Due to his persistence, he shook his head and plied.

  "I'll do my best," said Billy, entering the studio.

  "I see he didn't like it," said Peter Wolf to sky.

  "No one likes it, but it's what o be done for the song to be good. It's the price you pay for produg a song. Besides, he has the spirit, that indomitable spirit of singers who want to reject things without g about the sequences," said sky to Peter Wolf, who was cheg the song adjustments. Jerry, with his tortoiseshell e, rested his cheek in his palm, leaning forward in a better listening position.

  Billy's rich voice began to resohis time softer, like a good bald from the '70s, much more narrated and less aggressive pared to the initial song. While this one had more power in the apas, the voice was smooth and precise. Due to the increased value caused by Billy's inspiration, his number of followers rose from 2 to 6. Four people, specifically four elderly individuals in that room, listeo Billy's musical prowess and decided to follow his musical career, even more, to apany him. This inspiration was bestowed as if he were a superstar. Billy sang a song with his soul, and that was blessed with an increase in category level.

  The level scale for now is 1. Amateur, 2. Novice, 3. Student, 4. Prodigy, 5. Semi-professional. There is a higher level, but it's not evident, and it's not well-known, but it's approximated to be beyond professional.

  "It's very good, Jerry," said Jason Fox, an outsider but a music teacher fht years, and a part-time private music tutor for nine years. Although distant from fame and a track record in music, he has always been underh, following the artists in his heart.

  "I'm ing out of retirement; I haven't felt this way in a long time," said Jerry, reviewing and redialing the number for Atntic Records. The new producer-agent for Billy is still uain.

  "Billy, take a five-minute break; we'll do aake. This time, try to keep a slightly faster pace without rushing. You're improving," said sky, who, in a way, was renaming the song "Like a Stone." It would still be good, but this time, its rhythm would align more with blues than rock.

  The guitar would be adjusted to a more melodic style, with fewer aggressive strums.
