The logical criticism, is the city that never sleeps, one of the most well-known cities in the world, alongside London and Paris, with its numerous appearances in Hollywood, its t buildings, and its pces more or less familiar to the on popuce, from New Year's festivities to grand advertisements, and here, is the starting point for Billy to unch his music, which will reverberate throughout the East Coast.

  They arrived in winter, snow bing the city, the sky dark, both witire unfit for Californiaher, with jeans, sneakers, a down jacket, and a sleeveless blue shirt for Billy. The cold was unbearable, with frozen cheeks, their city tour hindered by frozen bones.

  -What a perfect day for shopping, huh? - Agustina said, her nose red, tinged by the cold. The snow soaked her hair.

  -Sounds great, as long as we don't end up waiting in two-hour lines. - Billy said, stretg. Having just Kennedy Airport, a terminal that didn't help much, they were lost. It was midday, awaiting transport to Brooklyn.

  Jerry provided them with a car, yet the snowstorm impeded transportation; both were frozeurning to the airport, where the cold permeated even indoors.

  -I love new beginnings. Our lives will ge, and I think I'll have fuing lost in pces I've yet to discover; it's almost like splittiy and starting anew. - Agustina said.

  -I heard you rented an apartment without seeing it; that's a record. - Billy said.

  -It wasn't like that; the record bel arra. It's just a stohrow from Manhattan, where the bel is located, and it's one of the best apartments around. It's close to the basketball courts—I love pying hoops—and you used to be good with the ball, maybe you'll make friends, even though you'll be studying at home. - Agustina said, delighted by the wonderful pce she saw in the photos. It wasn't West Hollywood, where rent was exorbitant; part of it was covered by the bel, very eical, not too costly, with some savings.

  -I'll manage, although I already have friends. There's Fred, Sam, Jimmy, or, and Joseph. I've been with them fht months; they supported me in times of need. We had a few fights, and well, Fred and Sam want to be my future bodyguards. Fred will attend military school with Sam, they'll join the Navy, or maybe the Grees. We all have dreams; Joseph wants to be a tattoo artist, and we're still in touch. Jimmy, I hope he stays oraight path, but he's into fights and violence, what more I say? I think he'll take up his father's workshop. And or, well, he'll probably try to be my drummer; he's practig with Spencer, I think they live together. or's family is the worst, that's why I hope in the ing days, I firoublesome friends. - Billy said.

  -My brothers had troublesome friends; I think it's Goo be problematid find trouble. We like wild people for a while, and we live that life, but... when I met your father, it was so refreshing, someone who was the opposite; he just filled me with warmth. - Agustina said.

  -Always cirg back to father. - Billy said.

  -It's your fault; you've sung so much about your father and many other things. I thiook you to a parade, one day oh of July. And I 't believe you remember that day. - Agustina said, associating Billy's songs, as it was impressive how people aodated reality to life, justifying everything that eheir ears, from crude songs, poeties, pessimistic, gloomy, exuberant... so maions in one pce, which may or may not be perfect.

  The emotionality of Billy's songs was almost like giving o shadow, light, and the sky. So beautiful. Was that the creative process of artists, always sharing their emotions?

  Agustina believes that the emotionality of Billy's songs not only reflects his own experiences aions but also serves as a mirror for those who listen to them. Music has the power to ect people through shared emotions, allowing them to find fort, inspiration, or eveification in the lyrid melodies.

  Billy, like many artists, finds in music a way to process and express his deepest thoughts and experiences. His songs bee a means to explore the plexity of life and vey messages that resoh those who listen to them.

  -I didn't remember those events. - Billy said.

  -Our car has arrived, e... get ready for an afternoon of shopping. The young man take us to downtown Manhattan, although it's better to ask for a pce that's not too expensive. We go to downtown Manhattan. - The vibrant red car, with a young man in a tie, perhaps in his twenties not much older, was well-groomed and seemed nervous, given the cold, which amused Agustina.

  -Mrs. Carson, I apologize for the dey, but the cold was unbearable, - said the young man, Audrien, a kid from Queens. Irish, born to undoted parents.

  -Don't worry about it, take us to Brooklyn, 287 Cumbernd St., - said Agustina, delighted at the small apartment they now called home, the first pce with two bathrooms since she had that beautiful house in San Jose.

  He grabbed the thick suitcases, four of them barely fitting irunk; Billy had a rge suitcase on his p in the back seat. Meanwhile, young Audrien regaled them with tales of the city, highlighting the best shopping spots in malls, how they could visit Dumbo's and Williamsburg, and the street markets. He also mentioned ongoing sales at pces like Macy's and the rows of shops in some more budget-friendly districts.

  -It's just around here, ma'am. I'll wait for you while you settle in. I'll be yuide for the hirty days as you get aced to the city. And well, I'm on my probationary period. If you'd like, you set a schedule for me. Jerry needs you at the record bel tomorrow at nine in the m, but I e earlier if you o shop, - Audrien said.

  -You're a gem, but just for today, you show us the nearby spot, and we'll hail a taxi from there? We'll shop a out, - Agustina said.

  -Don't worry, ma'am. I've been hired to be your driver, 24 hours a day, even if I have to sleep in the car. Don't worry about us, - the young man replied.

  -You're an angel. Well, you'll apany us shopping while I decide what to buy. It's cold; I'm freezing to death, - Agustina said.

  -I visited Irend a few days ago, during Christmas, ma'am. The cold was dreadful. Even my grandparents prefer the firepce to heating. In the meadows and forests, it's a different cold. I got used to it by the third night, but I uand how the cold weather be tough for those from warmer climates. Us Irish are born chilled, - Audrien said.

  Parking the car, the shopping day began. The festive atmosphere and gift shopping lifted spirits. Christmas was a wonderful time; childre of stories, and adults rexed from work. Families shared moments, and Billy prepared fs at some bars aaurants. Everything nned; it was Christmas, but business didn't stop. Atnta Records wao cash in on their new promise, the very young Radio Head, perf alongside two other alternative rock bands for their final show in Chicago, Illinois, on December 18th. Billy had already decided to perform as the opening act. Spencer, or, had been practig for three months along with a bassist from the bel.

  A gathering of 18,000 people. They agreed, on the dition that the kid would open and perform as the opening act.
