Consequences (Brad Simpson)

Connor

I was so over the moon about Lucy and I couldn't contain my excitement but we were going to wait till the scan before we tell anymore family so right now it was just my sister and the boys the know, I knew Chloe was excited I mean all she's ever wanted is to be an auntie since Lucy and I started dating and it's been a few years now so it felt like the right time

The boys and I were on a call with a producer over in America discussing about some of our songs for our new album which was coming along slowly we have 3 completely songs writing we just need to record them but with how things are going it's not looking like it any time soon so we were having to come up with different ways, we had all agreed as long as we can get the melodies down vocals can come later in hopes everything opens back up again

Chloe started making lunch for us all and she made sure we were all okay before leaving probably going to see Lucy, I mean this house is huge and we were lucky we were able to rent it out over covid it was just a weird time for everyone, we were also going to do a Instagram live for all the fans later on today and do a little Q&A with them so they have something to watch I guess.

We were now away to film the Q&A and we asked Chloe to ask the questions like last time when we did one of these, "hey guys we're The Vamps" we all said "and I'm Chloe" she said "and today we're going to answer some of your questions" I said "C take it away" I told her "right let's see how's the writing coming along for the new album?" She asked "okay a bit slow as obviously this is a weird time for everyone so we're trying to get by" James said "how has lockdown been for everyone?" She asked "okay I mean we're not fed up of each other yet" I said we all laughed

"okay next one is do you have a favourite song so far from the album?" She asked "umm not yet but I think once it's finished we will all have a favourite but just now no or at least not for me anyways" Brad answered "I don't have a favourite yet" I answered looking at the rest if the boys "I like one for the minute but can't tell you what it is" James said.

Once the Q&A was finished I decided to go for a shower and just go to bed early as I was really tired and just wanted my bed, but I didnt sleep well that night but not really sure why but I was up at like 4am and was just laying in bed watching the sun rise, I walked through to Brad's room at like 7am "what's up?" He asked "I didn't sleep well but I'm not sure why" I told him "maybe it's this whole lockdown thing maybe it's starting to get to you?" He asked "maybe I'm starting to feel a bit irritated being stuck inside" I replied "guess this won't be good for the addiction" I added with a small smile he gave me a side hug "we'll get through this together we always do" he told me

We had decided to record a YouTube video for my channel to pass the time in the day so I decided to play my favourite Arctic Monkey's song which was 505. We got set up with the mics, guitars, Tris has his sampler instead on his actual drum kit.

I played the little keyboard/organ intro and Brad started to sing

"I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs"

"Stop and wait a sec
When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked" I sang coming away from the keyboard

"Not shy of a spark
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start" Brad sang taking over again

"I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs" we sang together

The boys had their guitar solos with her rocking out to the music

"But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon" Brad and I sang together

"I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile" I sang on my own before Brad played the solo guitar outro.

I was editing the video before uploading it to YouTube when Lucy walked in "I heard you guys and it was great" she said "thanks Lu" I replied as she sat on my bed "your voice and Brad's just blend together its unreal" she told me I blushed slightly "stop it, you're just saying that" I replied "no I'm being serious you guys just have this chemistry when you perform together it's like magic" she said I smiled "thank you very much Lu! But now it's time to get ready to chill before bed as I didn't sleep well last night and I'm getting sleepy" I told her "no problem I feel you this whole pregnancy thing is starting to take a toll on me now too" she told me.
