Jem…Chapter 36
Chapter 36
I make a motion for Mike to lower the lights and cue a soft spotlight on the stage and I smile out to the crowd and start to croon out a little vocalise warming up the pipes and Raven’s on the keyboard and I croon out a last warm up note to get the crowd warmed up instead of me.
“One and Only.” By Adele’s a great way to warm the crowd up for some evening café music. I take a deep breath and belt it out…
You've been on my mind
I grow fonder every day
loose myself in time
Just thinking of your face
God only knows
Why it's taking me so long
to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want
I don't know why I'm scared,
I've been here before
Every feeling every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know if you never try
to forgive your past
And simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your,
your one and only
Promise I'm worthy
to hold in your arms
So come on
and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk them miles
Until the end starts
I've been on your mind
You hang on every word I say,
lose yourself in time
At the mention of my name,
will I ever know
How it feels to hold you close?
And have you tell me which ever road I choose, you'll go?
I don't know why I'm scared,
'cos I've been here before
Every feeling every word,
I've imagined it all,
You'll never know, if you never try
to forgive your past
And simply be mine
I dare you to let me be your,
your one and only
Promise I'm worthy
to hold in your arms
So come on
and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk them miles
Until the end starts
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy
Giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
So I dare you to let me be your,
your one and only
Promise I'm worthy
to hold in your arms
So come on
and give me the chance
To prove I am the one who can
Walk them miles
Until the end starts
Come and give me the chance
To prove that I'm the one who can
Walk them miles until the end starts.
There’s some great applause as I finish the song and I give them the whole quick kiss with both hands.
“Thank you guys for letting us warm up and getting into the mood tonight. It’s a really special night for us tonight with this being our first gig here in our new role here as the Tuesday and Wednesday house band…so come on down, come here often and we’ll make the middle of the week seem a whole lot better…smoother…and sexier…”
We go into “Drops of Jupiter.” By Train and then…
“Invisible.” By us.
“Billy Holiday.” By us.
“Forever and Always.” By us.
I stop and we take a minute to drink some water and I look out at the crowd and Adam’s there not so much staring at Mike or at Dad now that the show’s started but looking at me. He makes eye contact and he does this thing with his dress pants that’s called a thug tug and that’s where to don’t grab your self but use the fabric to “tug.” and show off your crotch.
The smile on his face is predatory to say the least.
What an asshole.
I pull myself to the present and being on the stage and turn that spotlight into a force field. I kill my bottle of water and I turn to cue the girls and return to smile at the crowd.
“Okay guys, you just know I have to do this one, it’s just that right for the place and tonight.”
I start singing again. “Brian Wilson.” By the Bare Naked Ladies.
I love this song and its sooo good to sing here in a coffee shop/lounge. I get into it and yeah there’s that first bit that always give’s me chills especially with a crowd getting into it.
“Drove downtown in the rain…”
“nine thirty on a Tuesday night.”
“Just to check out the late night…”
And I hold the microphone out to the crowd and they all sing out. “Record shop!”
God I love this.
We go from that into. “I will remember you.” By Sarah McLachlan.
Then “If I close my eyes forever.” By Ozzy Osborne and Lita Ford. I sing Lita’s part and Raven belts out Ozzy’s part and the killer guitar is being done mostly by Brooklyn. We do it a little slower a little more us but the song is a great old rock ballad tune and it kind of ramps up the rock factor without us going into the high energy stuff.
I cue up the signals and we pull back and let Brooklyn come up and she starts into this great guitar opening that Raven backs on her base and it goes awhile before I break into our own cover of. “Love Song.” By Tesla.
Yes…Tesla, it’s actually a really good tune.
“Okay everyone let’s take a break and we’ll come back with something sweet to dance to…”
We break and we get some more waters and we head to the bathroom as a group this time and use the facilities and I’m washing up when raven leans on the counter after touching up her goth eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah…”
“He’s really creeping on you.”
“Yeah that’s from me fighting back the other night and telling his ass no. He takes it completely different when a girl does it apparently then when I used to tell him to shove it up his ass.”
Raven purses her lips. “Every time I see him, I really, really like him less and less and I started out hating his fucking guts.”
I nod and start doing make-up repair and she just sort of stays there and watches me. “What?”
“You need just a touch to your lipstick…here…” she leans over and kisses me and I smile at her….break the kiss.
“Okay I haven’t been a lesbian that long and I saw that line coming.”
“Hey, I haven’t been around either there…I’m so not smooth and stuff.”
“Smooth enough.” I kiss her back and then there’s some girls coming in and stares from some and smiles from some and we both smile and laugh when we get. “So like it true like on your Facebook pages you two are seeing each other?”
“Yeah…” And we hug and sort of snuggle while talking to them and then Jessie comes in and smiles at both of us. She still looks smoking hot…y’know that lesbian girl that is like just put together just right all the time but just herself and relaxed.
Jessie.
She uses the bathroom and comes out to fix her make up and stuff and she looks Raven and Me over. “I’d suggest a three-way Angel… (Soft voice.) but Rayne’s not into the whole not you scene.”
“Huh?”
“Never mind beautiful…good show but I was kind of expecting more of a jumping thing like last time.”
“Uhm slow Tuesdays and we thought more of a hopping dance kind of vibe on Wednesdays.”
“Cool…hey can I talk to you guys after the show? I’ve got something for both of you.”
“Uhm…sure?” I look over my shoulder to Raven who’s been blushing a bit but she nods.
“Thanks girls.” And she does this quick slip in and kisses both of us on the cheeks and heads back outside into the café.
I’m blinking. “Man is she always this intense.”
“Yeah….that’s Jessie.”
“So…”
“So…”
Brooklyn sticks her head inside. “C’mon you two stop making out and lets get back to the gig?”
I blush and we both head out and get back up ontop the stage and just that has them clapping?
Oh coolness.
I step up to the microphone. “Hey…everyone thanks for waiting Raven and I well…lipstick’s tricky stuff sometimes.”
There’s some laughs, some cat calls and a few piecing whistles.
“I’d just like to that you all for coming out for a great turn out tonight and well since we’re playing for the house we thought a slow sexy Tuesday night to take Mondays off your minds and if you show up tomorrow night I guarantee that we’ll take…Hump Day… up a notch.”
I borrow the sultry this from Jessie and there’s some more whistles and cat calls but good ones.
“Alright we want to play you a few more of our faves so her we go…”
Rave steps up with the acoustic and I settle onto a weaving back and forth as I sing. “Time after Time.” By Cyndi Lauper.
Oh…some of the girls out there in the crowd are singing it with me.
I swear if I could breathe this in all the time…even just a mellow crowd like this.
Yeah…just yeah.
With Raven still playing the acoustic we go into. “Wonderwall.” By Oasis…our’s is slower and softer and it does translate really well.”
“Kiss me.” By the Cranberries is next and a really sweet song and makes me smile and is really a good tune.
Then I get into the heavier notes as I do a soft yet soulful version of. “Never tear us apart.” By INXS…a great song and it lends really, really well to a soulful almost jazz vocal and we have the sax bit’s replaced by Brooklyn doing guitar riff’s.
That’s got just this different edge for me to slip into the last song of for me singing and I lean back and forth and let go of the microphone stand as I close my eyes and get really into some more bluesy deep…
I fell in love with this song the first time that I heard it…
“Fallin’” By Alicia Keys.
I had no idea the effect that this song had on the girls out in the crowd and the place comes in just alive when Raven and Brooklyn and Kim join in with singing…we get one run through hallway done before I swear every girl in the place is singing along with us…
….No not the last song…
No…the lights are coming up and we’d practiced it before and hadn’t planned on using it …well unless we had another showdown with Summer but…
I look at the girls… “I wanna shove fighter down Adam’s face.”
The girls nod…we do it quick and before the crowd knows the shows done I say into the microphone before I start. “A little bit of tomorrow night.”
I jump right into the song. “Fighter.” By Christina Aguilera. And I’m kinda staring Adam down as I sing it at him.
Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames cause your greed sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that
I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I want to say thank you
Cause it
[Chorus]
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're goin' round playin', the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I want to say thank you
Cause it
[Chorus]
How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to know the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
You won't stop me
I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough
[Chorus]
You thought I would forget,
But I remember
'Cause I remember
I remember
You thought I would forget,
But I remember
'Cause I remember
I remember
[Chorus]
I throw the song out at him like a challenge and a big vocal fuck you. And it’s getting to him the whole time. And I don’t care…I’m poking the bear…
Y’know…Angel…Angel’s not putting up with the shit that I had to as Jason.
We hit the end of the song and I’m bouncing…almost ready to…all charged up with a rush from it and Adam get’s up pretty fast with his sheeple flock and so does Dad and Mitch and the two guys they brought with them and Dad even turns like he’s expecting something and there’s a stare off between him and Ass-dumb before he shows just his true cowardly streak and he leaves pissed off and stalking out of the place and I watch him go.
I’m damp, my hair’s wet and my heart is going so fast and god I really want to keep going, playing getting the crap out of my system…it’s like a valve just let loose and it feels good.
I see dad and them head outside and then there’s the crowd coming up to us to talk and to shake our hands and meet us and we’re even signing a few autographs.
Dad slips in and I see him give us a thumbs up and I sort of relax and start talking to some more of the fans…it’s so weird actually having fans and then Jessie slips through the crowd with this starry eyed little red head that is looking at her like she hung the moon.
“Hey great night girls we’ll be here for sure tomorrow night if you’re actually gonna get this place hopping. There’s so nothing really going on here in town in the middle of the week.”
I get a juice from Mike and he goes on to wait on Brooklyn and Kimmie. Raven slips in close and slide her arm around me and we sort of sit on the edge of the stage. Raven’s leaning on me but I’m leaning back into her feeling those incredible breasts of hers pressing into me.
“Thanks…who’s your date?”
“Oh this, this is Ronnie.”
Ronnie extends her hand. “Veronica but I usually just go by Ronnie, you girls were wicked…I like what you did with some of the covers. I don’t know all of them though.”
“Thanks, it’s really nice to get feedback with some of the songs kinda being older tunes and from some harder bands even.”
“Uh-huh like I said wicked.” I can’t help but smile she’s slim, tiny, smoking in her own way and…well…I’m going to say that she’s an uncomplicated girl.
“You wanted to talk to us?” Raven asks.
“Yeah here.” She passes us a flashdrive.
“What’s this?”
“Old stuff by Starlight Butterfly when Summer was in the band.”
“Okay…where’d you get that?”
“I had a friend and she’s a music buff and she went to all your guy’s shows and stuff and we were talking about the shit Summer pulled last time she was in town and then out of the blue last night she sent me these.”
“What are they?”
“Three of your songs that she said in public that “My girlfriend Raven wrote for the band.” I saw those and had to bring this over. Molly that’s my friend she said after seeing your stuff online and watching your tune Oncology she had to go through all of her vids because she knew she had these and she wasn’t gonna let that shit stand.”
Oh…
Oh holy…
“Babe?” Raven looks at me. I’m not sure where this is going but she asked me first. She leans over and pulls Jessie into a kiss….a good one…then breaks it…Hell…I reach over and pull Jessie into a kiss too….she slips me tongue…It’s…not as freaky as I thought….but it’s freaky in how her tongue slips to the underside of mine and flicks it a few times in imitation of what she’d do…
Wow…if she only knew.
We break the kisses… “Pass those on to Molly for us.” Raven says just as hot softy as Jessie and I nod and smile. Ronnie has this stunned…shocked…not knowing to be turned on and upset look there and Jessie turns to her and cups her face…says in her sex kitten way… “Now that I’m warmed up…the best for last…” Then kisses her and I’ve got an idea of just kinda maybe how hot that is and Ronnie does the foot thing with the dangly shoe thing and I turn to Raven and I say-breathe-moan… “Good idea…”
I kiss her deeply and feel her stiffen as I slip her my tongue and I start doing that…her tongue really isn’t her tongue thing…I love the way her nipples just went hard and the way she’s sort of melting all at the same time.
We break the kiss as the girls come over. There’s a bit of freaking out and cheering and laughter as we all get hyped up about it. I look at our tips. “Let’s go and celebrate a bit….pizza?”
There’s cheers all around and we start packing our stuff. I really can’t wait to see those video shots now.
I look over at Rayne…she’s got the flashdrive clenched in her hand and she’s kind of holding it to her chest.
Brooklyn slings and arm over my shoulder and kisses my cheek. “Yeah…you gotta love karma.”

Gotta love those bootleg recordings
So at least three songs are out of Summer's repertoire now. I think these recordings will be online faster than you can say 'lawsuit'. Alternatively a little legal 'blackmail' wouldn't hurt either. They don't have Summer by the gonads by any means but this will at least hobble her. In any case, Molly would still have to witness the recording if it is not a video or is a video that does not make clear where and when the recording was made.
Summer is about to head into Fall.
Kim
Not Sure You're Right...
I don't think either side has made a legal issue of it, or tried to copyright the songs and register them with one of the royalties organizations (ASCAP, BMI, CAPAC). And would the band really want to put a video of Summer singing songs for them onto their own website, just to show how she used to introduce them?
Anyway, I can't see where this restrains Summer from singing these songs at concerts, or even make her change her introduction, though failure to do the latter might reduce her credibility. And I don't think her current band is going to drop her over the issue, if they're satisfied with her singing, which as far as we know they are -- nobody that we've heard from has any complaints about her voice.
It does mean Raven and Angel can include the songs in their concerts now that they have the lyrics and arrangements back, but I can't really see why they'd want to, unless they get on the same bill as Summer's outfit again and want to play them first as a preemptive measure.
Eric
It's a plagiarism thing
And plagiarism is legally considered fraud or fraudulent portrayal. Summer is stating at concerts that she personally wrote the songs that Raven wrote. Theft of IP is not a small thing, as those who steal it seem to think it is.
copyrights
Technically, you don't have to file anything to own the copyright. Filing and making it all official is mostly a formality for legal purposes. There may even be a messy legal battle over who owns the songs once the copyright is filed. There there may be other legal battles once ownership is proven.
The "owner" could in fact legally stop them from using the songs. Just like a photograph used without permission leaves you wide open for legal problems. Ownership gives that person a lot of power and control over how it is used.
Even publishing my own stuff online, I give a fairly easy route to getting permission for using the stuff I write. I don't really care about making money off of it but I have some control and I can say "no" if I want. In the case of some programs I've written, I'll GPL them or they are simply free depending on size and purpose. In all cases there is a route to contact me so the lawyers are happy. I'm referenced and even published in some computer related books.

Raven would maybe see if she can get them to stop playing
those songs maybe....she's going to talk it over with the band and then see the videos and go from there. Honestly though if she can't get the stop then she's not going to fight that hard about it but she will publicly post the videos and a statement that she wrote those songs.
A whole lot of people won't work with Summer over just the suggestion of IP theft.
Thanks huge Bunches you three!

Right -- Should Have Thought Of That...
I published a newsletter for nine years, copyrighted but not registered with Washington (except at the Postal Service). I only complained once, though, to one seller when a series I ran was being sold online. The guy said he'd gotten permission from the author; since that author had died two years earlier, that sort of stopped things and I didn't pursue it. (Didn't have reason to doubt it in any case; what I ran was his updated second edition of a series he wrote six years earlier; he certainly could have cleared reprint rights with someone in the interim.)
Don't know whether you're from Canada; I've never checked the laws there and don't know whether "any IP except work for hire is controlled by the author" applies there, though I seem to recall that the U.S. law came relatively late compared to other countries on that.
In this case, even without government registration to "prove" when it was written, I'd say there's a preponderance of evidence (IIRC, in the U.S., plagiarism is a civil case for damages, not a criminal case where "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the requirement) in Raven's favor, but I wouldn't guarantee a judge or jury doing so if Summer had the more persuasive lawyer. (For one thing, I'm not sure announcing onstage that a song is yours legally equals claiming to own it, if you don't take any steps to protect it or sign up to collect royalties. She's not the first singer to make that claim from a stage.)
If Adam's still onside for her, she'll more than likely have a more expensive attorney, plus whatever fear of consequences might exist with a jury or even a judge, given the assumption that Adam's prestigious and vindictive family is on Summer's side.
Eric
It's a great turn of events:)
But the girls are going to have to see what the can do with it and exactly what the admission or the statement Summer had made was. It'll still get on the net especially if Mike gets to use the flashdrive for a few minites.
Loved that line about Summer.

its all of the wheel
and it looks like it turning on summer this time. it all come around.
almost all digital video recording are time coded somewhere. if it ever goes to court.
great chapter, thanks
Neat Phrase LoneWolf.
And if Summer doesn't watch herself then the wheel might run her over:)

Hanging them selfs.
Adam and Summer are not invincible and they have left enough wreckage of the lives of others that people would love to see them hanged by there own stupid sh@#. Every dog has it's tipping point, then it is all down hill with a sudden jerk and snap at the end. Then watch them twist in the wind. Will any one cry for them.? I think NO!!!!!!!
With those with open eyes the world reads like a book
Thanks so much Misha:)
Summer's one of those people that if you give them enough rope...And Adam has to realize that it's just not what he's done but those actions of hid family too.
*Great Big Hugs*

great concert!
Fantastic selection of songs, lots of fun stuff and the ending? Cool. Very, very cool.
Thanks Dorothy:)
I'm really glad that you enjoyed this and got to take your mind off things a bit.

Getting better for the band :)
Let's think of all the points Starlight Butterfly have scored over Kisses and Thorns so far:
1) The band's still together.
2) Rayne didn't slip into a funk, and has picked up a new girlfriend.
3) They're still composing.
4) They're racking up more gigs than K&T, and have been made the cafe's house band twice a week.
5) They've made widespread use of social media and the 'net to promote themselves.
6) They were undeterred by Adam's attack on their van.
7) Angel rejected advances by Adam.
8) Mitch and Mike.
9) They've now reclaimed ownership of three songs from before, courtesy of the bootleg recordings.
So by my reckoning they're at least 9:0 up on K&T - and I've probably missed a few points. Skummer's starting to find out she can't have it all her own way, while the tide is starting to turn against Adam (or should I say ass-dumb? :D) and presumably, by extension, his family's semi-autocratic control over hte locality.
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
K&T I like that.
yeah the girls are certainly starting to get on a roll but when you think about how down they all started they're just getting done treading water to survive and actually starting to swim against the current.

YAYNESS!
Oh yeah, gotta love karma! Upload that to youtube and watch Summer's credibility dive. :-)
Interesting to see the 'slower' set from Starlight Butterfly after seeing a lot of their faster paced stuff so far. I love the concept of a slow night and a dance night, it gives the whole cafe different vibes that prolly pan out in the food and drink orders, maybe even in the crowd that turns up. They might get a bit of an older, couples crowd for the slower nights even and that all helps sales and merchandising in exploiting a wider demographic. It's also showcasing their talent and putting some clear blue water between them and Summer. Win/win. :-)
As for the songs... well, if I come for the story I enjoy the music just as much, they are just such an integral part of Jem! :-) You prolly aren't going to sell me on a slower version of Wonderwall. Maybe its a generational/cultural thing given the 90's ended my teens and accounted for most of my 20's but I've heard the Ryan Adams slower take and it didn't click with me. Maybe it's just to iconic to change radically for me, a bit like changing Blur's Parklife. I was pleased though to see the girls trying something different with it. I've always believed that if you cover a song you should try and bring something different to it and not just clone the original. I'm definitely sold on a cover of Tesla's love song though, good lyrics let down by the delivery on the original (that's just me though, sorry Tesla fans!).
Pretty much anything from BNL is a crowd pleaser given they make sing-a-long songs so effortlessly. I'll prolly take the lyrics of One Week with me to my grave... *mock pouts* Same with 'Time after Time'.
I did't know Fallin' (though liked the classic jazzy sound it has to it which was a pleasant surprise, thank you youtube!) or Fighter (wonderfully apt lyrics for the girls) and hadn't heard the Cranberries 'Kiss Me' (kinda sounds too cheerful for them almost!), so that's two pieces of music homework for tomorrow to listen to! I like that about Jem though, it challenges my cosy musical tastes. :-)
Thank you for more Jem, Bailey.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Sourcing the covers and working out how they play them.
Actually takes as much time to do really as writing the story. The guitar sold me on some of them especially "Love Song" By Tesla...good stuff for Brooklyn. "Fallin'" is such an insanely good song and has such power and "Fighter'" is another great tune and I almost had it as the theme song for Rook in MSSL-V.
I'm so glad that you liked this story Jemima:)

Lol Jessie definitely
Lol Jessie definitely deserved those kisses, loved her comment in the loo about a threesome "but Rayne’s not into the whole not you scene.†That statement alone would have Angel buzzing.
Great chapter, really nice that Jessie has given Rayne a peice of her life back, sure she could write new stuff but she shouldn't be denied her older work. At least if scummer tries to sue for copyright infringement the videos will damn her straight away.
Thanks for sharing
Big hugs
Lizzie :-)
Bailey's Angel
The Godmother :p
I Love Jessie:) She's that stand up trampy friend we all have.
Always a great character and I'm waiting for Angel to clue in huh, right? Sometimes I really like side characters.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting Lizzie:)

Pride
Pride goeth before a fall, right? And Adam's got such a surfeit of pride that it's a wonder he got his head through the door of the club! Skummer (BAAHAHA! I've got an ex named Summer, she's not quite as bad as this one though) seems to have a similarly over inflated opinion of herself. I guess these two don't actually see people, just ways that those people can be used.
Aye looked up and streamed "One and Only" while reading that part- gorgeous song! I think Aisle make a habit of playing those songs while reading yon lyrics from now on, it seems to really add to the story.
Adele's a powerful singer but I'm also a fan of
Alicia Keys (Fallin') and Christina Aguilera (Fighter) as well any powerful female vocalists are so my thing then it's kinda sorta wide open. There's some stuff that I really want to still do with the girls that I think would go well and some I've seen.
And...that's kinda cool that you had an ex-called Summer:)
*Great Big Hugs*

Good to see, yes.
A little good trickling back to the band.
I look up some of these songs on the 'tube (thanks for the Wings link :) ) There is so much music that one can never hear it all in a lifetime. Kind of amazing, frustrating and cool at the same time. I have always got goosebumps listening to Close My Eyes Forever, I am happy to see it in the Butterflies' list. Yeah I have a few favourite female vocalists. Recently liking Beth Hart here with the awesome Joe Bonamassa.
Just hoping and praying the next chapters I read don't have too much going the way of the bad guys.
Teri Ann
"Reach for the sun."
Joe Bonamassa is awesome:)
I was introduced to him through the Girlfriend though I'm still a huge Lita Ford Fan. But I know what you mean I'm always finding new music.

Kiss Me?
Are you sure you don't mean Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer? Just tried to look for it and the only versions I could find were mislabelled versions of their song. Loving the story by the way!
"The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp"
