Heartbreaker - Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Greta Van Fleet, nor their songs. This series (as well as everything else I write and is a fanfiction) is pure fiction. I have not been alive in the 1960s, and most of the details have been researched beforehand. Also, the GIFs and photos I use throughout this series are NOT mine, they are just images I have downloaded from Tumblr. If you are the owner, please DM me, I would be more than happy to give credit. Warnings: language, but nothing too explicit Word count: 1 K (hold your horses, the rest of the chapters are longer than this) A/N: Here comes the prologue, finally! Critique and opinions are welcomed. AND SOME FEEDBACK haha. I have a Spotify playlist with the songs that I listened to while writing this, so if you want it, DM me. To be added to the taglist, DM me or send an ask.

It had been 5 months now since you have been working three jobs and could barely afford to pay your part of the rent to the cramped apartment you shared with your high school friend, Sharon. You were a waitress in a bar, a shop assistant at a record store and you were an aspiring reporter for a music magazine.

The whole reporter thing seemed like a silly idea. As your friend put it, it was a waste of time. You were barely getting 50 bucks a month and you never actually had interviewed any musician. Your bosses from the magazine, they held you around only to bring them food whenever they craved it, and make fun of you on the good days. But you were desperate for that job. You actually believed that you could pull through the humiliation process that those men put you through, and that one day it would pay off and you would be a top reporter, badly wanted by the Rolling Stone Magazine, the newest and hottest music magazine.

The year of 1968 has been a wild one for you so far, and it was just May. Your shift at the bar was starting in half an hour so you picked up your uniform and started walking down the street.

Two blocks away from your tiny apartment, was another cramped place, called Steak n’Milkshake. This is where you were working. In your opinion, it was even worse than your apartment. This place had the blinds pulled all the way down all throughout the day, and in the ceiling was a single light bulb, hanging from a string. The light it was giving away was barely enough to distinguish the colors of the room. The walls were white, not clean, but a dirty white. In the upper corners of the room you could see a slight green starting to form – it was mold from the awful humidity and lack of natural light.

As much as you hated that place, you couldn’t afford to quit your job there. The owner of this bar was a total asshole- he threatened you that if you’d quit, he’d put only bad words on your future job applications. He was basically blackmailing you into staying there.

With a sigh, you changed into your uniform which was made out of a knee-length white dress and a red apron.

The shift passed slower than usual. The clients were the usual ones- the nice old lady that always advised you to find something better to do, the rude guy that always tried to hit it with you and when you refused him, he would insult you, and the poker club players that gathered there 3 times a week.

Once the agonizingly long shift was over, you walked home, for a fresh set of clothes, only to leave at the music magazine’s headquarters. Now, this place was looking drastically different from the Steak n’Milkshake bar. Here, all the hallways and rooms had bright lights, almost too bright, and the whole aspect of the building was clean. Too bad that the personality of most of the people working there didn’t match the look of the building.

“Waitress, a ham sandwich,” a guy dressed in a light blue shirt told you the moment you walked in. His attitude, the smug smile on his face, the fact that he called you a waitress annoyed you. You felt the urge to yell at him something like Go shove that sandwich up your ass but you still wanted, in fact needed, that job. That was the only ticket out for you, or at least that’s what you thought.

You were tired of the way you were being treated, but you gulped all your “kind” words for these men and nodded your head with a fake smile and went to prepare that damn sandwich.

As you brought back the ham sandwich on a carton plate, you noticed that your boss was in a really good mood today. He actually ditched for once in his lifetime the white button-up shirt with the rigid collar. In fact, today he was dressed in a light pink t-shirt, with a black palm tree in the middle. It must be the end of the world you thought as you put down the plate.

“Y/N, take a seat,” your boss spoke, as he pointed to a chair all the way across the table. You were taken aback by his words. You didn’t expect this at all, no one in that whole building ever asked you to sit down at the same table with them.

You sat down right after you straightened your skirt and waited to hear what was about to come. You didn’t dare to have any hopes regarding your career, but you were still intrigued why have they ask you to join their meeting.

“As you know, we are a music magazine. We send our reporters to take interviews with musicians, more or less known and put together an article,” your boss started. You watched and listened him carefully, not missing a single word that came out of his mouth. “There is a new up and coming band, they’re called Greta Van Fleet, and you’ll be touring with them for a month and interview all of them. We want an article, insights of the life on the road, their hopes and dreams, inspirations, and what they plan to do in the future. “

The words left you silent. You actually got a job as a reporter! You couldn’t believe it. You held back an excited smile and thanked your boss for the opportunity.

“Now, go on little bird, fly away somewhere else before I change my mind,” he waved his hand at you.

You quickly sat up and headed to the door, knowing the way your boss changed his mind literally every three minutes, and you didn’t want to lose the opportunity. “If you dress up like that, I am sure you are going to hear more from the band then just what the boss asked you for,” laughed the guy in the blue shirt that you just made a sandwich for.

You shot him a look as you opened the door and left. The rest of the day, you were glowing from the happiness. This could be your ticket to a better life, and it all depended on this one-month long interview.

Greta Van Fleet Questions 4.0

Now that TBAGG is here, I decided to reformulate my Greta Van Questions tag!

When did you discover Greta Van Fleet?

I discovered them after they won the Grammy, on February 10, 2019. I saw several people talking about them and I asked myself if they were a good band and turned out that they are. One day later, I became a huge fan of them.

Who is your favorite member?

Sam is still my favorite member, but now I came to the conclusion that I love each one of them for who they are. They all have different personalities and that's what makes them so enthralling.

What lane have you almost swerved to?

I almost swerved to Josh’s lane after watching the concert in Chile. The red outfit, his radiant smile, and I had lots of dreams about him. Josh is absolutely handsome and I love the kindness he radiates. Nowadays, I think I'm swerving a little bit to Jake's lane after seeing him in the "Heat Above" music video. Seeing him looking like an angel, being barefoot instead of Sam made my heart skip a beat.

What was the first song you listened by them?

It was “Safari Song”. When I listened to it the first time, I was amazed by the first few notes and that song made me become a huge fan of theirs.

Favorite songs?

Now, I have to separate between the albums. Let's go. From The Fires: Safari Song, Edge of Darkness, Flower Power, Highway Tune, Black Smoke Rising.

Anthem of the Peaceful Army: The Cold Wind, When The Curtain Falls, Watching Over, The New Day, Mountain of the Sun

The Battle at Garden's Gate: Heat Above, Broken Bells, Built By Nations, Age of Machine, Light My Love, Caravel, Trip The Light Fantastic, The Weight of Dreams (I CAN'T CHOOSE ALL OF THEM!)

Least favorite songs?

I must say that my least favorite songs are their covers of “Rolling in the Deep” and “A Change Is Gonna Come”. I like these songs but I don’t listen to them that often.

What was your reaction when “Always There” was released?

I got emotional when the song was released (And I cried when the song leaked). As someone who has become a fan of theirs two years ago and had From The Fires and Anthem of the Peaceful Army already released, it was the first song of theirs that I saw the release.

Favorite live performances?

Watch Me at Lollapalooza Chile and Merriweather Post (Sam doing the chorus part on his keyboard is AWESOME!), Black Flag Exposition at Poland, Flower Power at KCRW, KROQ, Greta Van Fleet live at ACL (aka The show where Jake gets his hair stuck on his guitar), their entire concert at Lollapalooza Brazil and the Red Rocks concert. The Red Rocks concert left me really emotional and it's my favorite. And also, “Age of Machine” at Stephen Colbert. That is just amazing.

Favorite music video? I really love the “Highway Tune” music video. “My Way, Soon” is my favorite, too. I love the vibes of this music video, it’s really fun and it puts an instant smile on my face, I love the retro feel of the music video as well (So much that I think this video was heavily inspired by the music video, that’s why I put the song over it… OK, I’m kidding, but it’s really reminiscent and I like this edit I made.) I like the “When The Curtain Falls” music video, but it’s not one of my favorites, to be honest. The “Age of Machine” music video is good too, but it’s way too much metaphorical and I’ve only watched it twice until now. The "Heat Above" music video is really sweet, too. I'm starting to think that I actually don't have a favorite music video.

What was your reaction when “The Battle at Garden’s Gate” was released? I screamed. My friends and I organized a watch party where we laughed, screamed and totally freaked out. I was there, jamming to the songs, singing along, mouthing along, headbanging, dancing, laughing, getting emotional, it was a mix of emotions that changed my life forever, but not listening to the album alone made my night even better because I was with people that I love.

Greta Van Questions

Tagged by @gretavanqueen (Thank you so much!! This was so fun to do! 💕💕)

When did you discover Greta Van Fleet?

I first saw them when they were on SNL. Was very deceived by the band name and didn't think it'd be music I'd like. But then I IMMEDIATELY LOVED IT. Lol

Who is your favorite member?

I mean... I probably don't need to answer this one haha. Yeah, Jake is definitely my baby. He's funny, he's sexy, he's adorable, and also a literal rock god. (Although, just to be fair, I do occasionally swerve to Sam's lane.)

Favorite songs?

(really tried to keep it short; purple ones are extra favorites) - Safari Song - Flower Power - When the Curtain Falls - Lover Leaver, Taker Believer - Black Flag Exposition

Least favorite songs?

Honestly--and I know this sounds like a cop out--I genuinely don't think I have any least favorites. The New Day was low on my list for a while... but then I listened to the words more and realized they're comforting as shit.

Favorite live performances?

I mean, seeing them in person was definitely amazing, but my seats were really far away haha. As far as clips I like to watch, I've shared this one of Black Flag Exposition before but I absolutely love watching Jake here. Also the long version of Lover Leaver from their youtube channel is absolutely spellbinding. And this clip of Fast Train Blues/All Right Mama is just really fun.

Favorite interviews?

Jake's episode of My Favorite Riff is wonderful. Also both Billboard ones (2017 & 2018) are short, sweet, and funny. And I recently listened to this podcast interview for the first time and adored it.

From the Fires, or Anthem of the Peaceful Army?

Oof, tough. I guess I'd have to say AotPA. But I'm also HYPE for the new album which is allegedly coming out before the end of the year.

Favorite pictures?

Omg so many. Here's a few that immediately came to mind (they're mostly of Jake):

Do you own their merch?

Yes! When I was at their concert I got their Full Moon t-shirt in green. Also, if records count, I've got FtF and AotPA on vinyl.
