His Sunflower...
Summary: Everyone knew of superstar Harry Styles. Everyone knows he has people working for him behind the scenes. However, not everyone knows who his secret lyricist is. Her name never in any credits, never mentioned, and never once in the media. But that's how she likes it.
THIS STORY INCLUDES: trauma, SA, muteness, smut, relationships, talks of mental health(anxiety, depression, panic disorder), and death(no main characters)
........................................................
"Hey y/n/n," the familiar deep voice sounded tiredly behind me. I turned my attention from the piano in front of me to the green-eyed brunette in the doorway, making his way into the studio. I looked in his direction, never meeting his eyes, gave a slight small smile and nodded in acknowledgement.
Turning back to the keys, I continued playing a melody I had started early this morning. Grabbing my notebook from beside me, I began writing some lyric ideas down, when suddenly I felt a presence overlooking my shoulder.
"Mitch and Sarah are coming in a few minutes to work on some pieces, do you need anything," Harry asked with a tired but fond smile. I shook my head politely and he nodded, walking away.
—
Let me backtrack a little. I've been Harry's lyricist/songwriter for about a month now, however, I've never spoken a word to anyone since being here. Well, actually, I haven't spoken in about five years, and with me currently being twenty-two, that has been since I was seventeen. I began posting melodies and lyrics on a website, and Harry's producer, Alex, stumbled across me one day, and messaged me on Instagram, asking if I would want to write for Harry. Immediately I turned the offer down due to my muteness and social anxiety, but with a lot of persuasion and going back and forth, I reluctantly agreed. A week after that, he invited me to a cafe to meet up with himself and Harry. Alex, could definitely tell that I wasn't a physical contact person, and opted for a polite head nod as enough of an introduction rather than a hand shake. Harry followed suit with a smile, though not without some curiosity.
Our initial meeting wasn't long seeing as I didn't talk. Alex went over some things, and Harry talked about what he was looking for, to which I nodded and smiled. At the end of the meeting, I typed a quick 'thank you' on my phone and smiled at both of them. The following day, Alex invited me to the studio, and the rest is history.

"Hey y/n/n, hey Harry," Sarah greeted with a wide grin in both of our directions. I gave a little wave, and Harry went in for a friendly hug while patting Mitch on the shoulder. After the greeting encounter, everyone got in their space and began messing around with their instrument.
After about an hour or so of writing and switching to play different melody ideas, I stood from the piano bench, and made my way over to Harry. His green orbs looked down at me, and I handed out my notebook with some lyrics I had written.
Licking his lips and picking his lip, he began reading the script. After what felt like an eternity, he looked up.
"Y/n, this is absolutely bloody brilliant," his deep British voice sounded. I offered him a small smile in return.
"Guys come over here, look what y/n/n wrote, " he spoke motioning for Mitch and Sarah. They got up and walked over to us, and began reading my notebook. Waving my hand a little to get their attention, I motioned them over to follow me to the piano. I sat down with their eyes on the back of my head, and began playing the melody for the song. On the last note, I paused and looked behind me. Each of them had tears threatening to spill down their faces. I'm guessing my look of alarm made Harry snap out of it, and he gradually started to clap.
"y/n, that was beautiful, bloody perfect," he said fondly grinning. Mitch and Sarah nodded agreeing with Harry. Mitch slipped from the group walking over to his guitar. He began to play some chords syncing to what chords I played on the piano. For some time, he messed around, came up with a cool picking pattern, and that is how From the Dining Table, my first song written for Harry styles, was born.
……
2 weeks later…
Myself, along with Harry's other band members, were called in for a meeting this morning. No one was told what this meeting consisted of, or the importance of it.
Gathering my tote bag, with some essentials stuffed in it, I slipped my converse on, took a deep breath, and made my way out of my apartment. I don’t drive, so I walk everywhere, including the studio. Upon approaching the building, I spotted Mitch and Sarah laughing about something walking through the front doors. Watching my footsteps until I reached the double doors, I felt my heart begin to race. I was nervous that maybe they were letting some of us go, or the team wasn’t doing well enough. Overwhelmed with my thoughts, with my eyes on the floor, I ran into a figure.
“Whoa, hey y/n/n, careful love, you okay?” a concerned Harry chuckled a little while placing his hands on my shoulders to steady me. Eyes wide with fear of retaliation on his part, I immediately stumbled back away from him with a curt nod, and continued making my way to the conference room.
Eventually, we all settled in and sat around a large table, everyone seemingly a little confused on why we were all there.
“Hello everyone, today, we are announcing to you all that we will be going on tour in six months from now. You all have been working tirelessly, and we thank you for that. With that said, we all need to be cracking down on this new record,” Jeff, Harry’s manager announced with a big grin plastered on his face.
A round of excited applause went around and everyone congratulated Harry with hugs and words of gratitude. Staying in my seat in the far corner, I looked up and met eyes for the first time with the green eyed Brit. For the split second he caught my eye, I think he saw the fear and anxiety behind them. Touring is a huge thing, for any artist, especially someone the size of Harry. Artists are always creating new music, so having a songwriter along the ride will hopefully aid in the making, at least that’s what Jeff said to me after the meeting. Of course, I responded with my usual nod, and proceeded to leave the room along with everyone else. As I was making my way to the side door, I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder.
“Hey, are you sure you’re okay going on tour? I don’t want you to feel pressured or anything. I totally understand and respect if you don’t, I-” I cut his rambling off by softly putting my hand on his and gently nodded.
The look of surprise crossed his features due to the physical contact I initiated. He gave me a warm smile and nodded, while I gently lifted my hand from his. I flashed him a gentle smile goodbye, and continued my way out.
.......
six months later...
"Mitch, Sarah, Charlotte, Pauli are in bus one, Niji, Ny Oh, and Elin are in bus two, and Harry and y/n are in bus three..." Jeff anxiously listed as the rest of the crew and I grabbed our bags. My head immediately looked up, and with wide eyes, I felt my heart drop. Nerves flowed through my veins, and I guess I wasn't hiding it well as I thought I was because Harry looked over and gave me a shy sympathetic smile.
I nervously followed his lead to our respected bus, but not without my hands shaking and lip between my teeth. As my feet made contact with the bus floor, I took in the space. Black slick leather coated the slim couch on the right, facing a small kitchenette and tv. Walking further, I slowly followed Harry back behind a black curtain, that I now know are to the beds. There was one on each side, with storage above for our bags.
Harry reached up to put his duffle bag in the compartment above the left bed, and then made his way over to me with a smile.
"Here," his deep voice gently said while reaching to take the bags from my hands. I quickly but gently let go once his hands met mine on the bag's handles. He lifted them into the similar compartment as he did just moments before, but above my bed.
"I'm gonna shower and head to bed, you are more than welcome to do as you please, and please don't hesitate to get me if you need something y/n/n," Harry tiredly said, seeing as it was now 11pm. I offered a small sincere small nod in appreciation.
He continued to get his bag and head towards what I am assuming is the bathroom, as I got my bag down and placed it on the mattress. I closed the dark colored curtain, took my sleeping shirt out of my duffle, and slipped it on. Realizing I still needed to take my meds, and brush my teeth, I waited for Harry to come out of the bathroom.
A short while later, after taking care of my nighttime routine, I climbed back into the bunk, shut the curtain, and laid on my back staring at the ceiling. Just thinking about the fact that Harry was across from me had my anxiety over the edge. Although I have worked with him over the last half year, and shared occasional friendly encounters, I still didn't trust him, or for lack of a better word, his intentions. Every single man in my life has betrayed me in so many different ways, each resulting in pain and hurt. I couldn't say no to this opportunity though, due to the need for money. Living in an apartment in Los Angeles was not cheap by any means, as well as every other cost that is associated with living. I have no one to fall back on if something were to come up, so being independent has been the only way for me to continue and live.
As my eyes began to drift close, I heard a slight snore a few feet over from Harry. Taking a deep breath, I relaxed my shoulders and drifted to sleep, hoping for no nightmares. Or at least none that would wake up the man across from me.
—-
It’s been about two weeks since the tour started. Saying that everything is hectic is an understatement. Crew members running around, stress etched in everyone’s faces, and the noise of thousands of fans every night has everyone feeling the effects.
Throughout this time, I’ve been writing a lot, as well as trying to find some time for myself. Sharing a space with Harry is difficult. Well, sharing a space with anyone is difficult. I can tell that Harry is increasingly worried about me due to the fact that it’s been almost 8 months and I still haven’t spoken a word out loud. I can tell he’s trying to get closer to me and warm me up. I think that’s why I’ve been slightly distancing myself from him. Getting close to people has only hurt me throughout my life, and I don’t have the capacity to take anymore pain.
During Harry’s show today, I decided to find a quiet space in the arena away from the chaos to write. Deep in my thoughts and hand beginning to cramp, I didn’t realize a figure making their way towards me.
All of a sudden, from my crouched position with my knees bent, a large calloused hand gripped one of my knees. Looking up in surprise and fear, I was met with a scruffy large older looking man, who had a smirk etched on his face.
“C’mon sweetheart, let’s go somewhere else,” the deep voice of the stranger demanded. He grabbed my elbow and tried forcing me up. I tried resisting his grip but I was far too weak to slip out of his hands. He dragged me by my arm, looked both directions in the hallway, and pulled me into a dark room. Suddenly, the light flicked on and he locked the door behind us. I realized we were in some kind of supply room. Eyes widened in fear, I tried to grab the door handle but he was quicker, and grabbed my wrist.
“Don’t even try, bitch,” he laughed mockingly. Tears started welling up in my eyes, and my body shook in fear. The man pulled a roll of duct tape from behind him off a wooden table, unraveled some, and began binding my wrists above my head. His calloused dirty hands grabbed the hem of my pants and roughly pulled them down, along with my panties. Refusing to look at him, I tried focusing on anything else in the room to distract me from the upcoming abuse.
I heard his buckle unlatch and suddenly I felt a deep stinging pressure below. Tears streamed quickly down my scared face. The hands harshly grabbed my bound wrists above me as he started to roughly thrust in me. For what felt like hours, I guess he assumed he was satisfied, so he redressed himself, ripped the duct tape off from my skin, and unlocked the storage room door, leaving me alone with the mess he made.
My body was in shock. The tears stopped minutes ago, but the strong pain and ache remains between my thighs. I slid down the white cinder block wall, curled into a ball, and stared at the wall in front of me. I’m not sure how much time had passed, but I eventually stood, and limped out of the small room. No one was in the hallways as I made my way out. I grabbed my forgotten notebook off the ground, and started making my way back to the dressing room area. Reaching the door handle of my dressing room, I opened it and closed it behind me, and walked to the couch adjacent. I sat there staring at the door in front of me. Any sounds from the outside were drowned out by the shock that took over my body.
“y/n, we are getting ready to leave,” I heard a voice say from behind the door. I couldn’t get myself to move an inch, paralyzed by fear. I’m guessing it had been a few moments since the person who called me, and the handle turned, indicating someone was coming in.
“Hey y/n/n, we are getting ready to-, y/n love, are you ok? What’s wrong?” the worried and confused voice of Harry gently asked. His footsteps grew closer, breaking me from the trance. For the first time in a while, I met his green worried eyes. Standing up, swaying slightly, I stood a few feet from the 6 foot tall Brit. Stepping forward with hesitation, and tears starting down my face again, I walked towards him, and laid the side of my cheek against his chest.
I can tell this startled and surprised him due to his tense body language. I needed comfort. Even though I wasn’t nearly fully comfortable or trusted him, I needed something or someone to ground me. Once his gentle hands met behind my back, softly embracing me, that’s when I broke. Tears rushing down my face, heart racing out of my chest, shaky legs, and I started falling to the ground. Luckily, his hold on me tightened and held me up before I fell further.
“Shh, it’s okay y/n, it’s okay love. You’re safe, you’re okay,” he spoke with sincerity laced in his voice. I couldn’t tell you how long we stayed like that, but he began guiding me out of the dressing room, down the hall to the double doors, leading out to our bus.
I don’t know if it’s the years of neglect, or lack of human contact, but I clung to Harry’s body in the bus. I couldn’t get myself to leave his side. He didn’t seem to want to let go either though. He rubbed my back and spoke comforting words to me as I clung to his torso.
“You don’t need to tell me what happened if you don’t want to, but please promise me y/n, that if you are hurting because someone hurt you, you need to let me know okay?” he said. That’s when I started sobbing again, and that answered his question.
“Shh it’s okay love. I’m right here. Let’s settle down on the couch okay?” he motioned for us to the leather couch. I think he could sense my hesitation because he assured me over and over again that it’s okay. He gently motioned for me to turn on my side. Once on my side, he asked if it was okay if he held me. Although I was petrified and scared, I still apprehensively nodded in agreement. He shifted his body so he was holding me from behind. His arms wrapped around my fragile frame.
I don’t remember falling asleep, but I woke up feeling a weight around my torso. Realization settled in that Harry was spooning my fragile frame. I felt his breath tickle my neck, and I shivered slightly. He must’ve felt my movement because I heard a yawn from behind me, signaling his consciousness.
“Good morning y/n,” his deep morning voice rasped out, as he untangled our bodies. As his arm started pulling away, I unconsciously stuck out my hand and grabbed it. I needed his safety from the world. His face contorted into a surprised look, but as quickly as it came, the look of guilt settled in his features.
“I won’t leave, I promise y/n/n. I just need to use the toilet,” his quiet voice said. I hesitantly nodded, letting him go. As soon as he was gone from my sight, I felt the weight of yesterday’s encounter.
Harry’s footsteps grew louder as I heard him walk back in from the bathroom. As I slowly stood from the couch, his green eyes studied me. My body shook and his large hands were on my shoulders in seconds.
“Here, let’s sit back down, yeah?” he said as a response to my body’s motion. I nodded solemnly and sat.
“I’m not sure what happened yesterday, but I need you to know, y/n, that I’m here. I’ll listen. I’ll do whatever you need me to do okay?” his voice sounded as he sat next to me. Taking a deep breath, I nodded, gently looking up into his green eyes.
….
It’s been a few weeks since the incident, and over that time, I’ve gotten much closer to Harry. Although I can definitely tell he is worried about me and what happened that night, he has since left the decision up to me on when I’ll tell him, or someone, what happened.
During down time, I’ve been writing different lyrics and melody ideas down in my journal. I have completed a song called Matilda, and another called Fine Line. Lyrically, I feel very strong about them, though I'm not sure if the tempo will be too sad for Harry’s type of music. I’m planning on bringing my ideas to Mitch sometime, and hoping he can play around with some instrumental ideas for them.
Besides Harry, I’ve been very jumpy when a male comes into the room that I don’t know. To be fair, I already was due to childhood trauma, but now it’s way more apparent. Harry gives me a look each time he sees the way my body involuntarily flinches, but chooses not to say anything about it, to which I’m very thankful for.
Each night since he held me on the bus couch, he’s let me in his bunker to sleep. Having the weight of his arm allows me the safety I need. When I’m about to fall asleep, he softly kisses the back of my head, and secures his tattooed arm around my torso.
Right now, we are on our way to the next tour stop. Harry is sitting with headphones on, watching some movie on his phone, while I’m adjacent on a seat watching out the massive bus windows. It’s been almost a year since meeting Harry, and at no point has he given me a doubt about his intentions and personality.
See, my last relationship ended up with bruises littering my body, cuts along my skin, and fear etched in my mind. He would throw me against walls, yelling at me for literally anything. He drank and drank until bottles scattered the floor, leaving me to clean up the mess. He would use my body for his own enjoyment and pleasure. I would be left sore for days, all for him to do it repeatedly. One day, on his way home from work, he was involved in an accident, which killed him on impact. As awful as it is to say, relief flooded me when the news broke. His older brother took the house, leaving me with absolutely nothing. I worked odd jobs while having to live with my abusive father. He would smash things against my head, and would lock me in a bedroom for hours on end, without food or water. That lasted for a few months before I had saved up enough money for an apartment. That’s when I began creating on the website where Alex had discovered me.
Fast forward to now, I have come to realize something. I’m developing feelings for Harry. It’s absolutely terrifying to me. Butterflies erupt in my fragile chest when his eyes rarely capture mine, or when the warmth of his hand lingers on me for comfort. His once intimidating aura is now replaced by a sense of safety. When approaching new males, whether it’s at a stop or another venue, he always somehow uses his body to gently shield them from my own.
Shifting his body, my attention focused back on the man behind me. The headphones were off his head, and his phone was placed beside him on the couch. “Hey, I just wanted to let you know that our stop is coming up,” his tired, raspy voice rang out softly. I nodded, making a small amount of eye contact, and mouthed ‘thank you.’ His pink lips turned up into a small grin and proceeded to watch out the window behind the couch.
Once the bus came to a halt, Harry and I stood from our respected areas, and made our way out. Following him into the arena, the sense of dread engulfed my body. Since that night, being without Harry by my side has caused anxiety to bubble inside me. He has insisted I stay in his dressing room during the entirety of the show, for my safety and his peace of mind. I wasn’t going to argue or debate that.
After hours of writing when the bands on stage, they finally run off stage and enter their dressing rooms. Hearing a soft gentle knock on the door, Harry slowly appeared and came in. With a wide smile and adrenaline rush, he walked over to me.
Suddenly, I felt his arms wrap around me gently.
“Hey y/n/n,” he whispered exhausted in my ear. I slowly brought my arms gently around his torso, reciprocating his action. I felt him smile in my hair. I could tell he is exhausted, mentally and physically, from the demanding performances he puts on. I’m not sure how long we stayed engulfed in each other, but he slowly lets me go, and steps back.
“I'm sorry, I just really missed you,” he shyly spoke, blushing slightly. I looked up to him in confusion, seeing as I had seen him a few hours ago. Sensing my confusion, he proceeds to explain himself.
“I just, I don’t know, I love spending time with you y/n,” his shy, sincere voice sounded as he proceeded to take off his outfit, opting for something comfortable. A smile graced my now rosy face. A comfortable silence fell over the small dressing room as he dressed, and as I gathered my notebook.
We walked in silence, Harry in front of me, to our designated bus. As we got in, I tapped Harry on his shoulder softly. He turned around, eyebrows raised in question and lips parted to ask a question, but I cut him off before he had the chance. I hugged him, tight, needing to feel his warmth. Startled a little bit, I felt his arms wrap around me, even tighter. It seemed like we both needed each other’s comfort tonight, and an unconscious agreement to not talk about it.
——
Today marks six months since the tour began. It also marks three months since I’ve realized that I have grown feelings for the pop star.
Tonight is a rough night. Harry woke up with a cold, making his throat sore. He of course powered through the show, however, as soon as he entered the dressing room, I could tell something was really off. His eyes briefly met mine, and when the door shut behind him, he began undressing himself with a slight hint of frustration in his movements. I stood up, and followed behind him to the bus after he changed.
Upon entering our bus, he sat on the couch with his face in his hands. I heard sniffing and could see that he was very distraught. I’d never seen Harry like this before and I didn’t know the reason behind this reaction. Cautiously, I slowly walked and sat next to him on the couch. Sensing my movement, he placed his hands from his face, down on his lap, but kept his head lowered.
“I’m sorry you have to see me like this y/n/n, I’m just so disappointed you know? I didn’t give them my best tonight and they paid and traveled to see me, and I feel like I disappointed everyone, fuck” he whispered at the end. I hated seeing him like this, he pushes himself so hard, too hard.
Despite the hesitation and voices screaming at me in my head to not do this, I softly laid my hand on top of his on his lap. His body tensed for only a moment, but his other hand raised slowly and settled atop mine. I heard a deep breath sound from his lungs as his body visibly relaxed. It took everything in me to not get up a run to my bunk, but I could tell he needed me. I needed him.
By the end of the long draining night, we settled on the couch. His muscular tattooed body behind mine, with our body heat engulfing one another. Thoughts raced through my mind, as I danced around the pros and cons of continuing getting closer to Harry. Throughout this competition in my brain, I must’ve fallen asleep due to the sun now shining through the bus windows.
I slipped away from the couch, and walked quietly to the shared bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, I came to a realization. I’ve never felt more safe in my life than I do with Harry. And that realization is fucking terrifying.
——
Weeks later, I found myself cuddled against the British man once again. There was definitely growing tension between us as we started sharing more intimate moments together, like this. I began to take notice of his lingering stares on me, his delicate but affectionate touches, and the warmth we both seemed to feel with one another.
We were watching a movie on the small bus tv, and my head laid on his shoulder. Suddenly, his body slowly moved, making me lift my head off his shoulder. His facial expression clearly held anxiety, and sensing my confusion, his voice began.
“y/n, love, I need to get something off my chest,” his anxious yet cautious voice said as his body turned to face me. Anxiety started to fill my veins, thinking of every worst scenario that could play out. Before my thoughts could go any further, the deep British voice carried out once again.
“Fuck it, I’m just gonna say it. I have feelings for you y/n. I have for a while, and I know that’s wrong because we work together but I can’t not say anything anymore. I know you don’t feel the same, which is absolutely okay love, I-” his voice rambled with nerves and worry, but I gently grabbed his face with my hands on his cheeks, interrupting his little speech. Taking a deep breath, I leaned in, so our faces were merely inches apart. Our eyes met, and he began to close the small gap between our lips. My hands fell from his face as his rose to mine. As our lips touched, every ounce of worry and anxiety melted away. Our lips moved in sync with so much longing interlaced. He gently pulled away, and rested his forehead against mine, with a wide smile gracing his now slightly swollen pink lips.
“Well, that was a great way to get me to shut up,” he chuckled against my face. A small giggle escaped my lips as our eyes met.
For the rest of the night, we stayed cuddled up on our usual couch, just holding each other until we fell asleep.
——
Over the following weeks, the band noticed our new found chemistry with each other and eventually figured it out. They all congratulated us, and were so excited.
Nothing has really changed between us, besides the stolen kisses and hand holding. However, I felt myself beginning to want more. I trusted Harry so much, which is crazy to say given my past. In his dressing room during the shows, I have been practicing using my voice. Since it’s been so long since I last spoke a word, it has been proven difficult, but I am determined to start again.
Tonight, everyone was staying in a hotel instead of our buses due to bad weather. It was safer inside there than the buses, which I think everyone was actually happy about considering we haven’t had an actual bed in months.
With our hands intertwined, Harry got our room key and led us to our suite. As we stepped inside, I heard a quiet “shit” escape Harry’s mouth. There was one bed laying in the middle of the room.
“I’m so sorry y/n/n, I was told there were two beds, let me go see if there’s another room with two,” his distressed voice said as he was about to leave the room. I gently grabbed his arm, momentarily making him stop in his tracks. I looked at him and shook my head. I mouthed ‘it’s okay” with a small smile on my lips.
“Are you sure? I really don’t mind going down-” I cut his rambling off with a small quick kiss to his lips.
We set our bags on the ground, and Harry turned around to put the tv on. As he did, I got my pajamas, really his shirt and boxers that I stole, and I headed to the bathroom. After showering, I dressed myself and finished getting ready for the night. As I stepped out, our eyes met. This was the first time he’s really seen me like this. A blush crept onto his cheeks as he stared at my body. He quickly looked back down to his phone, and pulled the duvet up higher on his body. A little shy smile came over my features realizing how cute he was when he was flustered.
Pulling my side of the sheets down, I climbed into bed, next to him. I could tell he was a little tense, and I was about to type on my phone to ask him what was wrong, however, as he bent down to grab his fallen charger off the nightstand, the duvet fell down slightly, revealing Harry’s problem. My eyes grew wide as I quickly looked back to the playing tv. A blush rose to my cheeks as he settled in back next to me. As time went on, he grew antsy and couldn’t stay still. He looked uncomfortable and I could tell he was trying really hard to keep it together.
“I’m gonna head to the bathroom really quick,” he quickly said as he tried to conceal the tent under his shorts, before trying to stand. I do appreciate him trying to not make me uncomfortable, but little did he know, I wanted him. As he was about to stand and swing his long legs off the side of the bed, I grabbed his wrist.
Our eyes met, his embarrassed but mine full of love. I held my hand up to stop him, as I made my way out of the bed, walking over to his side. I stood between his short-covered legs as he looked up at me in question.
“It’s really okay, I’m sorry, I was gonna go sort this, uh, out,” his flustered voice said as he was attempting to stand back up. I shook my head and placed my hand on his arm, to let him know it’s okay.
I nervously leaned down to kiss him. His lips pushed back against mine but I could feel his hesitation to keep going.
“Are you sure, love?” his deep raspy voice whimpered with hesitation and lust. I nodded reassuringly and brought my lips back to his.
I reached to pull his shirt over his head but his hands pressed on my shoulders to stop me. Before I could do anything else, he said, “let me y/n, I want tonight to be about you, don’t worry about me, I promise.” I simply nodded in agreement but not without nerves shining through my brown eyes. Standing up, he switched our position so I sat on the bed and he stood above me.
“Lay back for me love, I want to make you feel good, yeah?” he whispered with lust filled eyes. Following his words, I moved back on the bed, and shifted my body so my head was on his pillow. He moved to the end of the bed and got on his knees by my feet. He tapped my leg for me to open my legs a little wider to allow him to come closer.
With his request, I moved my legs to the side, and he moved forward.
“Are you positive about this love? We don’t need to do anything. We can stop anytime, just push me away or pinch me,” he spoke sincerely. I nodded with a smile and reached for him. I gripped the bottom of his shirt and began lifting it. He helped me and threw it off his torso somewhere in the room. Tattoos littered his skin and heat radiated off. His eyes met mine for consent to take mine off. I nodded with a shy grin and he proceeded to gently peel mine off. Left in a bra and his boxers, I moved my arms to wrap around myself.
“y/n, love, you are so beautiful, no need to hide my love,” he spoke as he gently moved my arms away from my stomach, to my sides. With his arms on either side of my face, he met my lips with his own. Our tongues danced together as my hands went through his soft curls. A small groan ripped through his chest as I tugged more.
“Can I?” He asked as he kissed down from my lips to my chest, in question to remove my upper garment. With slight nerves, I nodded. With my consent, he tapped my torso for me to arch my back, to allow him access to unclasp my bra. Swiftly, the garment was dropped beside the bed, now leaving me even more vulnerable.
Before I could even think about shielding myself, his lips came down to peck over my exposed chest. He whispered “beautiful” every time he came up for air. His mouth hovered for a second before landing down on my nipple. With a deep breath let out, I felt myself getting hot. He gently sucked one while softly kneading the other with his large hand. My hands gripped his hair tighter in pleasure as his tongue swirled the swollen nub. He alternated between both for a few minutes, until I gently pulled him up. His face was visibly flushed and I could feel the warmth coming from his body down below.
I stared into his green eyes, silently pleading for more. Understanding, he nodded and grinned in silent acknowledgement. His hands found their way to the last piece of clothing on my body. His fingers hooked around the sides, gently pulling them down, away from my body. There I laid, bare, in front of a man. This was the first time that someone cared about my comfort and pleasure. Harry took his time admiring every inch of my body. As his eyes landed on my exposed thighs, his expression faltered for a moment. I knew what he saw. Old scars of the abuse I endured littered the soft skin. Although his gaze lingered, there was not one trace of disgust or anything but love that filled his orbs. Instead, he bent down and kissed from my lips, down to my thighs.
“Is this okay? Are you comfortable y/n/n?” he questioned. I nodded and encouraged him to continue. With my approval, he brought his hand lower. Despite the anxiety of the situation, I felt safe in his hands.
Once his index finger slipped below, a quiet moan slipped from my lips. A grin appeared on his face as he felt my arousal. Using my arousal, he gently glided his finger through my folds. He began to rub my clit with precision and a softness in his touch, as he captured my lips once again. He knew the weight of the situation and how much this was affecting me. Disconnecting our swollen lips, he silently asks for permission. I graciously nodded, and I felt the tip of his finger nudge my opening. Taking a deep breath, I felt him begin to slide in a little deeper. Stilling his finger, he let me adjust. I leaned up to kiss him, and he took the hint to go forward. He slowly curled his finger inside me. A moan escaped my lips and I quickly put my hand over my mouth in embarrassment.
“Hey, no, none of that love, let me hear you, yeah? It’s okay, I got you,” he whispered. He started going a little faster inside me and my body began to tremble. With my eyes rolling back, he whispered little words of encouragement as he slipped another finger beside the one already in me. I felt a little burn, but it was quickly replaced by even more pleasure. He pumped them in and out, curling them up as he went all the way in. I felt a deep burn in my stomach, indicating my orgasm was quickly approaching. I reached down for his hand, and he immediately stopped. I mouthed ‘I want you,’ and his eyes turned an even darker shade of green.
“You are positive love? We don’t have to, I promise,” he said in reassurance. I shook my head with a smile and reached for the hem of his boxers. He helped me out and took them off his toned body. His red leaking cock bounced up to his stomach. Butterflies erupted in my stomach at the sight. He climbed off the bed quickly, and went to his bag. Grabbing what I was assuming was a condom, he got back in between my legs.
“Alright, shit, you’re so fuckin’ beautiful. This may hurt or burn a bit, Love, but just squeeze my hand yeah?” I nodded and as he rolled the latex on, I leaned up to capture his lips. His hands went to my breasts and my head was laid gently on the pillow below. He grabbed hold of his cock, and brought it up to my pussy. Gently sliding his tip through my folds, he teased my clit a little. Taking a deep breath through his nose, he guided his tip to my entrance. I grabbed the back of his neck, bringing his face to mine. As he slipped his tongue in my mouth, he pushed a little further in. Closing my eyes, my heart began to race. Feeling the unsteady beating of my chest, Harry brought up his face.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay my love, you’re safe, open your eyes, it’s me, Harry,” his soft delicate voice spoke. Upon opening my eyes, a sense of security fell over me and I felt safe again. He peppered kisses over my face and he agonizingly pushed in a little bit more. A whimper escaped my throat, and before he could say anything, I brought my hand to his back, and pushed his lower body closer to mine, resulting in him bottoming out. I moved my hand to hold his tightly as a burn fell over my bottom half. Taking everything in him, he stilled inside me, letting me adjust, not only physically, but mentally too.
We stayed in this position for a few minutes, and during this time, I fought the internal battle in my mind. Part of me wanted to tell him I loved him while the other half was scared and not to, cause then it would be real.
I lifted his head from my shoulder, and looked into his eyes. Opening my mouth, after years and years of not speaking, my voice began to sound from my chest.
“I love you,” I whispered. Frozen. That’s what Harry was. Frozen. He stared at me with wide surprised eyes as he was processing the fact that I spoke.
“Oh my god,” he finally whispered with tears glazing his eyes and the biggest smile I’ve seen.
“You… oh my god, I love you so much, so so much,” he whimpered into my hair. Shifting my hips up, he got the hint to begin moving. As he thrusted slowly but deeply, my nails scratched his back. He wouldn’t stop whispering how proud of me he was and how much he loved me.
“I'm close,” I said after a few minutes.
“Me too, my love,” he responded after a second to catch his breath. I could tell he was holding back for my sake. Every single moment of the time I have spent with him, has been nothing but love. His thrusts began to pick up a little, and before I knew it, pleasure rippled throughout my body. My orgasm came over me as harrys did for him. His sheen glowy body stilled as he came down from his high inside me. As he was about to pull out, I stopped him and placed my hand on his hip.
“Please stay,” I whispered pleadingly. Nodding, he positioned us so we were chest to chest on our sides. I felt him growing soft inside me, but feeling him close, after being alone and scared for so long, was needed. With my head in his chest, under his chin, he soothed my skin delicately by rubbing over it. With the post-orgasm rush, our bodies were exhausted. With a final kiss to my hair, he whispered “I love you, my beautiful sunflower.” Before I could question the new nickname, his breathing shallowed out, indicating his now sleeping body.
I can finally say that I am safe. I am loved. I am comforted. And I am in love with Harry Styles.
The End….

Okay I’m curious, what exactly is the story of George Harrison at Woodstock?
I will try to be brief.
Ok, so in 1968, right after the white album was released, George was invited to go to woodstock for the thanksgiving. As he said on I Me Mine; "I was invited there by The Band. It was Thanksgiving time and I'd just finished producing a Jackie Lomax album, directly after the Beatles 'White' Album."
He also mentions in an interview — I think it's for Musician, in 1987? — that he thinks he was invited there by Robbie Robertson.
Robbie mentions the visit in his memoir, Testimony, and he says that he had to convince Albert Grossman to let George stay at his house, and also that "Bob [Dylan] was keeping a very low profile, and when I asked him if he wanted to see George while he was in town, he too was a little iffy at first."
It's a very known fact that George was a big fan of Bob Dylan — he mentioned that in a lot of interviews, and everyone around him mentioned that too, besides the fact that he was always quoting Bob —, and during that time in Woodstock, he wrote two songs with Bob.
The first one is I'd have you anytime:
I have a post about the unused lyrics for that song that might be interesting for now.
George mentions in I Me Mine that "He [Bob] seemed very nervous, and I felt a little uncomfortable — it seemed strange, especially as he was in his own house.", and he also says that the song was written in the third day there. Later, Olivia mentioned that, when George wrote the lines 'Let me in here, I know I've been here, Let me into your heart', he was "directly talking to Bob".
The second song that they wrote together was...
One thing about this song: it wasn't finished. There are only demos of it. But it still is a very interesting song... in the lyrics on I Me Mine, there is this unused part:
That was substituted with "I get tired of being Beatle Jeff" / "I get tired of being Beatle Ted".
One fun fact about that song is that it had different names through the years. This was mentioned the George Harrison website: "Nowhere To Go was a collaboration between George and Dylan from their 1968 Thanksgiving visit that also yielded ‘I’d Have You Anytime’. It was first called ‘Thingymubob’, then ‘When Everybody Comes to Town’. ‘I Get Tired’ was also a working title and finally, by the time of the All Things Must Pass sessions, it is titled ‘Nowhere To Go’."
George mentioned the song using the title 'Thingymubob' in a letter to Bob, where he wrote the chords of the song.
Going back to The Band, Robbie said this, on testimony: "I was very curious about recording techniques the Beatles had discovered. George described their process as extremely experimental and sometimes accidental. I could definitely relate to that. When George inquired about the Band’s recording methods, I could barely keep up with him. For every question I posed to him, he asked me two about [Music From] Big Pink and The Basement Tapes [...]"
He also said this: "But George was one of the most open people I’d ever met, and Pattie was one of the prettiest and sweetest. George spoke incredibly candidly about the problems within the Beatles. John, he said, was far out on a limb, testing his balance. “Kinda crazy,” he laughed. And our dear Ringo was following in the tradition of many a hard-drinking Brit—apparently he had threatened to quit the band at one point. George was quick to admit there were serious tensions between Paul and him. 'Whenever I present a tune, the Lennon and McCartney songwriting team will ignore it as long as they can,' he said. 'Sometimes I even have to fight for my guitar parts. Paul has such a clear idea of how the song should go that he tells me what to play, or he wants to play it himself.'"
Two very interesting things here: the fact that George was talking about the problems in the Beatles, and also the fact that he was very interested in asking about the band records.
From I Me Mine; "When I wrote 'All Things Must Pass', I was trying to do a Robbie Robertson-Band sort of tune and that is what it turned into." He also mentioned that, while writing the song, he always thought about Levon singing it. (I'm not sure about where he mentioned that, tho.)
There are some songs that Bob showed to George on that time and he played later — for example, I threw it all away, a song that was released on Nashville Skyline, was played by George during the get back sessions, in january 1969, even before Bob recorded his version, and also I don't want to do it, that was released by George in 1985 —, and that travel was basically the start of a long collaboration in music, between George and Bob.
Also, George talking about the problems in the Beatles during that travel makes Nowhere to Go have even more sense. And then, when the beatles got together to record an album, it was on the get back/let it be sessions.... when he famously quit the beatles for some days.
Well, i think I've talked a lot, but that's basically the story. George also gave a guitar to Bob, but I'm not sure about when that happened — especially because he used that guitar during the get back/let it be sessions, and then on the abbey road sessions...
Anyway, here are two pictures; in the first, Bob and George, and in the second, Robbie and George.
AND THAT'S IT! i think. Sorry if this wasn't brief at all. It took me one hour and a half to write all this, so i think i probably got lost somewhere and maybe i am forgetting something.

my first kiss
(hyung line) the story of your first kiss with him .. (idea by anon who requested for hockey player eric!)
genre: first kiss!, fluff, new lovers, flusteredness notes: guys idk i tried to make this in a more nostalgic style, like it was telling a memory you have of it before LMOA anyways, i hope you enjoy!! these are a bit shorter btw ~~ word count: 1.1k
sangyeon (him)
sangyeon’s first kiss with you was initiated by him. he was such a gentleman about it, asking first and making sure everything was okay. and, it all happened in the simplest way. on a date, of course!
it was your third date together.
you guys easily became comfortable with each other. this time, you had decided to eat at a fancy restaurant with him. he looked truly charming that night, with a simple button-up shirt and his hair styled up… you sighed at the thought.
after dinner, he invited you to walk along the boardwalk. it was relaxing, as he was such a sweetheart, always listening to what you had to say and providing his best input.
but then, you stopped.
you gasped, pointing in the distance, “look at the lighthouse!”
he paused as well, looking at it. it looked beautiful at that moment, shining in the sunset, the sky colored purple and red.
he turned to you. you looked at him again.
“y/n.”
“mm?” you looked up into his eyes. his eyes were soft, as he gazed at you so, so softly that it made your heart flutter.
“can i… kiss you?”
you gulped, widening your eyes. but after, you quickly leaned forward.
“yes!” you were overly excited, only now realizing how loud you were. “yes! yes of course, sangyeon.”
he smiled widely, as he pulled you closer with a simple tug of your jacket. he kissed you so, so gently that your heart couldn’t help but melt alongside your legs, feeling yourself stumbling with how good of a kisser he was.
he pulled away, not too long ago, not dragging it out.
“beautiful,” he whispered.
“stop, you’re too much of a flatterer…”
jacob (him)
jacob’s first kiss with you was simple, yet heart-fluttering. it was when he wanted to show you a song he had made, accompanied by his guitar.
you remembered watching, so incredibly enamored, as he played the chords. alongside his guitar playing, was his beautiful, honey-like voice, singing the romantic lyrics he had written for you. you leaned closer and closer, your heart beating faster each minute.
when he was finished, he smiled shyly, looking away for a second.
“it’s not perfect, but-”
“no,” you immediately exclaimed. “it is perfect.”
“oh,” he breathed out, surprised. he was blushing at that point, his wide sparkly smile returning.
“it’s just so…” you couldn’t think of the right words. so instead, you shifted closer so that your legs were touching with his. he stared at you, wide-eyed. “if it were a radio station, it would be the only radio station i would listen to,” you thought for a moment. “oh! if it was on music streaming websites, it’d be the only song on all of my playlists-”
you hadn’t noticed him staring at you with complete heart eyes, as he admired how excited you were getting.
he placed his hand gently on your cheek, interrupting your words.
“hu-”
and he leaned in, kissing you softly.
you widened your eyes but closed them quickly as you leaned on your hands to press closer to him.
“jacob…” you whispered as you pulled away with a shy smile.
“sorry, it’s just that when you say stuff like that about my music, i can’t help it…”
you giggled, pressing a quick kiss on his cheek.
younghoon (you)
it was you who initiated the first kiss. but don’t get him wrong! he really wanted to do it first. it’s just that he’s too much of a scaredy cat… it all started at the end of your first date.
he had just dropped you off at your house as he handed you the bags of things you bought.
“i had a lot of fun today,” he smiled shyly.
you looked up at him with a small, soft smile. “me too.”
…
“are you free tomorrow?”
“woah,” you laughed, watching as he slowly turned redder and redder. “that’s soon.”
“sorry, i couldn’t wait,” he chuckled, sheepishly. “it’s fine if you can’t!”
“no, no!” you shook your head quickly, stepping closer in his proximity. you so badly wanted to go on another date with him. “i can, i can!”
he smiled, his lips curving up widely.
and then another sentence hit you, filling your stomach with butterflies.
“can i kiss you or is it too soon?”
you never thought younghoon was the type to be so blunt, it almost made you laugh. but instead, you felt the air get knocked out of you, as you inhaled deeply with shock.
“no,” you whispered. “it’s not too soon. at least for me. please, younghoon.” you stood on your tip-toes, urging him closer.
he nodded, giggling as his hair fell over his eyes cutely. he moved closer and you closed your eyes, waiting.
but then, you felt him move away. you blinked your eyes open and saw that his cheeks and ears were bright red.
“younghoon?”
“sorry, i-” he rambled. “idon’tknowwhyigotnervous-”
and so, you cupped his face instead, kissing him quickly. he let out a surprised sound but held you closer anyways.
“i was really working up the courage you know…”
“took too long.”
hyunjae (you)
as surprising as it may be, it was you who initiated the first kiss with hyunjae. it had happened on a normal movie date, where for some reason he just looked too… cute?
“how many times have you watched this movie exactly?” you snuggled into his side, loving how warm his body was. “you practically know the whole plot.”
he laughed, “it’s embarrassing to say…” he wrapped his arm around your shoulder, bringing you closer. he was wearing a hoodie, making him look very cuddly. he also had his natural curly hair out that you only recently found out he had.
you furrowed your eyebrows at the scene on the screen. you didn’t understand it.
“why’d she do that?” you questioned. “isn’t she kind of dumb for that?”
you turned to him to hear his answer which he did start explaining. but, your mind was elsewhere. you weren’t focused on his words anymore, but instead on his nose.
it looked so… kissable. he looked kissable. he was soft everywhere, from his bare face to his poofy hair.
without a second thought, you leaned up and well, tried to kiss his nose. but it was so dark with the lights turned off that you completely missed. and instead, you kissed his lips.
he was shocked. even under the dim lighting, you could see him turn red.
he sat up, facing you with a quirked-up smile.
“how come it’s you who did it first?”
“well-” you tried to explain that you didn’t actually try to aim there but then you felt a gentle, large hand on your waist. he pulled you into a long kiss as he smiled against you.
the movie was long forgotten.

Coming Saturday, July 15, at 12 pm Pacific time...
"TURNABOUT," an Ace Attorney-inspired collection!!
This collection features 8 scents inspired by Ace Attorney characters, available both as candles and snap bar-style wax melts.
Scent descriptions and more photos under the cut!
"Objection!" - Phoenix Wright: A woody, slightly spicy scent that opens with peppercorn, cedar, and orange zest. Heart notes of sandalwood, jasmine, neroli, and cashmere are followed by a resinous base accented with vetiver and Cabernet grape.
"Unnecessary Feelings" - Miles Edgeworth: A rich, luxurious blend. Top notes of orange bitters and rock salt ease into freshly waxed mahogany wood and pink pepper, all wrapped up in a smooth base of oakmoss, paprika, bourbon, and tonka bean.
"Hamburgers and Ramen" - Maya Fey: Sweet and girlish, this scent begins with grapefruit, bergamot, thyme, and sweet pea. White tea, nutmeg, rose, and honey form the heart notes, and are followed by tuberose and jasmine.
"Chords of Steel" - Apollo Justice: A strong scent with a kick of spice. Top notes of bergamot, ginger, and lemon mingle with cardamom, nutmeg, rose, and incense. Woods, labdanum, amber, and musk linger at the base.
"Courtroom Air Guitar" - Klavier Gavin: A balanced scent reminiscent of expensive cologne. Sea spray, eucalyptus, and citrus zest provide an ozonic opening combination, warmed by heart notes of cashmere, florals, and earthy mint. Cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, and amber musk complete the blend.
"Impromptu Psychoanalysis" - Athena Cykes: Bright notes of lemon, lime, citrus peel, and lemongrass jump-start this blend, followed by a calmer heart of jasmine, sugar, and blackcurrant. A simple patchouli and powder base holds the medley together.
"Gallery Fopdoodles" - Simon Blackquill: An earthy blend that opens with palm leaf and coffee, blending into oak, leather, patchouli, and caramel middle notes. Bottom tones of smoked vanilla, whiskey, and dried woods leave a lasting impression.
"Weaponized Prayer Beads" - Nahyuta Sahdmadhi: Soft and delicate, this scent's top notes of aloe, citrus zest, and milky ambrette unfold into a smooth heart of bamboo, green leaves, tuberose, and temple incense. Tonka bean, vanilla, sheer musk, and teakwood add depth for the finishing touch.
This collection has been bouncing around in my noggin for about two years, and now it is finally time to release it into the wild.
Everything will become available on my website promptly at noon on July 15; quantities are limited, so be there or be square!!

rowland's bio on the 2006 birthday party website
i went to the pop crimes rowland tribute show recently and some guy behind looked at me and told his mate "he looks like he knows shivers" 🫤
transcript ↓
Had attended Swinburne Free School from which many key figures in the late 70’s Melbourne scene emerged.
Rowlands legendary band The Young Charlatans played only 13 shows before dissolving through internal competitiveness (Ollie Olsen being the other singer and writer).
He joined The Boys Next Door shortly afterwards, bringing with him a swag of great songs including “Shivers”, which 20 years on has come to be considered a classic.
With his addition the band took an enormous leap forward musically and Rowland began developing a guitar style as unique as the band would later become.
His influence on guitarists around the world has probably been as significant as The Birthday Party’s has been in general.
But Rowland was also a singer and frustrations with not getting to sing very often and Nick wanting to sing only his own lyrics became contributing factors in the internal breakdown of the group.
He has subsequently worked on many projects with Lydia Lunch and exercised his vocal chords extensively with These Immortal Souls.
His brilliant first “solo” album “Teenage Snuff Film” came out in 1999

Last year, I talked about how I completely rewrote the tabs for More Gun in the Ultimate Guitar website, so that it actually matched the structure of the version of More Gun released in the Tf2 Soundtrack. It took a long, long time, and I didn't have the tools to really do much but go by ear
This time, I've meticulously copied the official sheet music for More Gun, specifically the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar.
The program I'm using displays the tabs for guitar below the sheet music staff, and with this official version, the tabs are incomplete. As in, I want to make tablature for a solo acoustic guitar, but currently, the official version requires two guitars to play, one acoustic and one electric. And if you simply play the acoustic, then the song lacks the chord changes and elements that are provided by the other instruments that play alongside it.
So, here's the official version:
Now the plan is to mesh the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar into one single staff/tab, and then edit my previous edit that I made on Ultimate Guitar......
Is this necessary? Probably not.... Looking at this result and my Ultimate Guitar tab, my tabs are actually pretty darn close to it. But I move onwards regardless

This year I've tasked myself with learning an average of one new piece on the guitar every two weeks, or 26 total pieces in 2024. These are mostly intended to be rhythm guitar pieces for vocal accompaniment so they can be simple af if lead or fingerpicking feel inaccessible, but I've promised myself to give lead and fingerpicking at least a solid effort for each piece regardless. Super pleased to declare the first cover accomplished a paltry three days into the year! Acoustic guitar cover 1/26: Skylight, by Pinegrove This song is WILDLY easy to pick up if you already know open chords. You can get into some fun stuff with Cadd9 and Em7 but you fully do not have to. The whole piece is in 4/4, and the only weird thing is that sometimes a chord carries on for a bar longer than you'd expect. To make life even easier, the band has posted the chords to their website, so there's no staring at various free tabs and wondering which one is the closest.

them: oh you're playing guitar that's so cool! did you know if you just learn these 4 chords you can play hundreds of pop songs
me: ok yeah but i don't wanna play hundreds of pop songs :/ i have specific ideas about what songs i wanna play half of them were written for the piano though. and half of them are from obscure artists where ill be lucky to find a tab online at all nevermind an accurate one. oh hey look ive found another song i wanna play it has 12 chords half of them are barre chords. the tab i found for it is wrong though. i believe most of the chords but these 3 specifically i can just hear that they're not right. the website wants me to pay to access the official tab though. how far can i get by just listening to the song and picking out notes on my guitar? do you think i can learn this by the end of the month be honest

Music art
So, I have ended to go to a country house by weekends. So, it is a starting autumn days. And I by weekends try to lean music instruments. Simple way. As I can say, as a music listener, music fan. I have already three music instruments. Electro guitar – yellow color. From my teenage times or a little more older. Bass guitar – Ural, made in Soviet Union. It has a color of polished dark wood furniture color. It is very beautiful music instrument. And synthesizer Youth 21 (Junost 21). Also from age of USSR and metal color. I try learn a simple way. Beginner level.
So, with my electro guitar – I learn a simple chords. Chords style of rock, heavy metal. I dream about to record a song. In a genre of a space rock. I want to make a song about space, to compose a song about space. And half of chords I already have learn.
Of course, to make a song – it is more hard then a pack of chords. I need to make them together. To sing it all, it is more difficult. And standalone them – to make a record. But half of chords I have already learn. At first it was a very slow hard, I start to think I cannot to do this, it was hard process. I am not very musical person. Now it is become more better.
At bass guitar – I want gothic rock style of Sisters of Mercy – Alice. I like this style of music. So, I dream to make some autumn clip with bass guitar. So, I think will not be ready for this autumn. And a standalone them - Alice from Wonderland. As I can say it is my fav fairytale.
Last in line, I have bought a synthesizer. With it I learn chords too. And some scales. I try to understand how to make a retrowave. And one thing I dig a book with a name – “to a music with a fun”. I want to compose a songs about little ducking. Some funny songs, you know. Dima and duckling are doing music. Such a kind songs. Style of USSR. As I have this in my head.
So, this is all my success in this direction.
Dima Link is making retro videogames, apps, a little of music, write stories, and some retro more.

Tablao Show Experience: El Yiyo, the Star of the Stage
Irving, Texas, October 27th
On a Sunday night, at the late hour of Nine o’ clock, Consuelo and I traversed to the Irving Arts Center to attend a live performance of an Authentic Flamenco Show in the DFW area. Presented courtesy of the Royal Opera of Madrid Institution, we had the opportunity to experience flamenco professionals traveling all the way from Madrid, Spain. Five members all contributed their individual unique elements from the genre to produce an immersive experience of Spanish Culture. However, two of the members in particular stood out to my developing musicianship; the dancer El Yiyo, and the Guitarist.
At 9PM on the dot, three individuals began their production behind the opening curtain; a man sitting on a beat box creates the starting rhythm, with silent strumming from the guitarist annexing to create a gallop. To accompany, one man starts their story in the middle-eastern influenced Spanish singing style found in traditional Flamenco shows. Suddenly, the scene flares up to bring in lights, colors, and sounds. The music becomes lively and introduces the expectations to be had with the upcoming El Yiyo.
El Yiyo follows the entrance with no accompaniment. His fierce presence and use of two walking sticks combine to create a solo rhythm captivating the audience to lean into what he is to do next. His foot taps establish a perplexing rhythm unimaginable to consider as a solo exhibition. Following comes a woman, reintroducing the troupe to serenade her opening. The claps initiated with the audience brings an inclusive experience to make one feel part of the show, further displaying the beauty she brought to the scene.
The nimble strumming represented the crucial importance of the right hand, utilizing the index, middle, ring (anular), and even the pinky fingers (at times), as well as the thumb (pulgar). Utilizing dexterity in each finger allowed for another dimension to be added to the music that embodies the flamenco genre. The enhancement makes simple chord progressions feel so dense with expression.
The agile arpeggios in the higher frets of the guitarist paired with the oscillation and passionfelt chants of the singer made for some beautiful storytelling. Around the halfway point the singer and the guitarist create a conversation amongst themselves, with the guitarist using the notes to respond to the cries let out from the singer. He then utilizes the bass in the arpeggios to create a soft cry of his own, leaning into the notes he’s creating to express the emotion. The dynamics slowly build up to become a shout of feelings, reflected in the loud and punctual strums from the guitarist. After the burst of shouts, abruptly both the musicians back off into a soft, endearing ending.
Continuing the show out until the end, El Yiyo’s dramatic and flamboyant essence are appreciated by all and embraced by the crew to accentuate his skillful dances. The guitarist complexes El Yiyo’s brisk rhythm with silent strumming and resonance tapping on the body of the guitar. The matched energy derived from the passing rhythm between the entire crew of musicians, all looking towards each other at different points of the show to catch and create the tempo of the show.
The performers end the show with a sense of pure excitement to derive the feelings of being a kid again. The clapping anthems of all the participants and audience brought together a full circle experience to slam down the lights. A last minute hoorah and celebration brought this exciting journey and celebration to a close, leaving me another slice of Spanish brilliance.
