Nate's Track: Insane/ Daisies
Several days have passed since Nate did his little song to try and calm the people of Hell. Most of the people stopped and listened to his singing, but unfortunately his singing didn't really stop the chaos.
"Boy... What a dumb idea that was." Nate said as he was shown slumped over a chair, Charlie watched from afar and could tell that Nate seemed embarrassed, "I made myself look like a complete idiot."
"Oh Nate. Don't be like that." She said trying to help him feel a little better about himself.
"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea trying to soothe the public with a song." Vaggie said rather sternly, crossing her arms.
"Vaggie!"
"No, Vaggie's right, Charlie." Nate said as he sat up, "That was so stupid of me."
"On the contrary my good man!" Alastor suddenly appeared behind Nate, causing him to jump from his sudden appearance.
"FUCKIN' CHRIST! Man!" He yelled out, to which Alastor spun his mic staff.
"Sorry for the sudden jump, but you should know that I've been getting more and more listeners since your song."
"W-wait really?! Nate asked as he jumped up, "You aren't just saying that to make me feel better?"
"Ah-hah! No I dear boy, if it was a failure I would be laughing at your failure."
"Not very helpful but okay."
"In fact... I think you deserve a spot on my radio broadcast."
"A spot?" Nate, Charlie and Vaggie asked him in unison.
"Why of course! Anyone with your kind of talent that's willing to perform should deserve some kind of stage, and I'm offering you my stage."
"Oh no." Vaggie immediately responded, "You're not going to trap him in your radio." She added.
"My dear, you clearly don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that he can perform on my broadcast whenever he feels like it, just to get his voice out to all of Hell." Alastor explains.
"And besides, with Nate's talents it could help bring people in if they listen in." Charlie added.
"I mean I do love to have a chance to perform in front of people."
"It's the very idea. Either way, it's entertaining to me if he succeeds or fails." Alastor added as he rubbed his fingers together and looked at his claws before looking back to the trio.
"I mean it sounds like a golden opportunity for me." Nate said as he looked over to Vaggie, "Last chance for a rebuttal Vaggie."
"Fine." Vaggie sighed in defeat, crossing her arms in frustration, "But you better know what you're doing."
"Don't worry Vaggie. I'm sure Nate can handle whatever Alastor can throw at him." Charlie said positively.
{LATER}
Alastor suddenly opened a door leading Nate into the radio broadcast room.
"Alright my dear boy, since you already know how to use my instruments, I'll introduce you to the world. I figure that you have a song you would like to perform with?" Alastor asked as he looked over and placed his mic staff next to his chair.
"Actually I do... and uh... let's just say it's about you actually." Nate said which Alastor looked puzzled at his statement, "It's called Insane."
"Ooooh! How honored I am." He said before he began turning dials, pushing some buttons before he finally flicked some switches, playing music.
"Dearly beloved!
For your entertainment
It's my pleasure to introduce to you hell's latest arrival
The upcoming performer and voice icon... Nate" Alastor announced before giving room for Nate to sing.
(Insane)
(Sung by YouTuber: Caleb Hyles)
'Hello, it's nice to meet you (hello)
Oh, can you tell me where I am?
I don't know how I got here
But I, I think I'm starting to understand
I don't belong among the angels
And baby, that's just fine with me
The things I did up there were high school
But now I'm going for my degree
Hey
Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire'
Soon the music rocked out as Nate bobbed his head to the music. Funny enough Alastor seems to be enjoying this song (Since apparently it was about him, and to him that's good enough for him)
'Wait a minute, do I know you?
Weren't you an old pal of mine?
Departed from us far to early
But now we're meeting a second time
We used to have such fun together
And maybe you have what I need
But first I have one tiny question
Tell me, do your demons bLeED?'
Nate sang the last part as he started to glitch out... but soon pulled himself back together before going silent for only a second and sighed in relief.
'Hey
Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire'
He sang and began to dance around to the beat.
'Oh Yeah
Alright'
'Hey
Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire
Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise, honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?'
The song ended as he looked over for approval from Alastor who gave him a nod of approval before he reached out from his mic staff.
"A spectacular performance if I do say so myself." He said as cheering could be heard, "I can see you going far in the music industry."
"You think so Alastor?"
"Of course I'm sure!" He said as the two peeked over to see more and more people gathering around a store window that held the old radio sitting next to the displayed TVs, "And as we can see, I'm not the only one who agrees."
"Wow, usually they are paying attention to the TVs then the radio."
"That's the power of music my dear boy, the face of the voice is hidden within the box, drawing people to figure out who this voice is." Alastor lectured getting Nate to ponder as their commercial music played, "In fact... I think they deserve a little encore, don't you?"
"Fire away Alastor! Let's bring 'em home."
"Excellent!" He cheered before switching over and turning it into a live mic, "Hope your appetite has been quenched, my fellow listeners." He announced, "I've been hearing from the grape vines that suddenly radio seems to be on the rise."
{MEANWHILE}
Down below, dozens of Imps could be seen switching over their radio channels to Alastors as more and more people ranging from all different types were surrounding the display of the radio that was playing.
"I must say thanks to my new friend who has suddenly appeared out of literal thin air, Nate! I suggest that they deserve an encore." Alastor could be heard.
"I do believe they are Alastor." Nate's voice was then heard. Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled but excited look, wondering who this new voice was? See normally they were used to Alastors old timey radio voice, but when Nate's voice pushed through it came out instead of being a bit choppy like Alastors it came out actually clearer almost as if he was standing in the display window or was standing in the Imps living.
"And before we struck up the band, we couldn't have done without our sponsor. Patchy Mash Unit."
"Oooh! Can I read this one?" Nate could be heard asking.
"Why of course!"
{PATCHY'S MASH UNIT}
In one of the many operating rooms, Patchy was during surgery when he heard his company's name.
"Oh this outta be good." He commented before pulling his bloody hand out from the patient he was working on, "Sponge."
"Sponge." His nurse repeated before handing him a sponge that was attached to some prongs.
"Need a patch up? Can't stand waiting for shipments from Sloth, then Patchy is the guy for your quick health and drug needs. Just in downtown Pentagram City where you can find quality healthcare for little to no cost. Patchy's MASH Unit, we take the Ow out of Wow." Nate read, which Patchy nodded his head in approval without looking up to the nearby speaker.
"Nice read."
{BACK TO THE STUDIO}
"And now, ladies and gentledemons, I present to you... Nate." Alastor announced before music began to play.
(Daisies)
(Sung By YouTuber: Black GryphOn & Baasik)
'Hey pal, hey friend, hey buddy
Why so sad, so downright unhappy?
That’s not my cup of tea
You know that this could be
Your last day here on earth so buddy, please
Won’t ya smile just for me?
My dear, my dear, no you don’t have to cry
That ain’t a pretty legacy to leave behind
Stop and smell the roses while you’ve got the time
Pretty soon you’ll be pushing up daisies where the sun don’t shine
Pretty soon I’ll be pushing up daisies where the sun don’t shine'
Soon the music kicked in and Nate started to bobb to the music. Outside it seemed like some of the listeners were enjoying the music as well for they started to tap to the rhythm.
'You know I just gotta say
That you might not have a lot of time to waste
So lose that long face
None of us are here to stay
So treat every day like it’s a holiday
Until the day you slip away
My dear, my dear, no you don’t have to cry
That ain’t a pretty legacy to leave behind
Stop and smell the roses while you’ve got the time
Pretty soon you’ll be pushing up daisies where the sun don’t shine'
The beat picked up again and soon outside they were definitely into the music as some started to dance together.
'Pretty soon you’ll be pushing up daisies where the sun... don’t... shine…'
Nate finished his song and cheering could be heard. But it wasn't from outside, it was of course Alastor making the crowd noise.
"Spectacular performance, I must say! We have never experienced such a performance by one so new to Hell!" He announced explosively, to which Nate rubbed the back of his neck bashfully, "I must say Nate, are you planning to make this into a career?" He asked him.
"Well, if I'm allowed to stay that is."
"My boy, you are definitely going to be my special guest for some time now."
"Well hey, I'm pleased to be part of the team."
"And there you have it! Stay tuned ladies and gentledemons, for we may have Nate perform again... real soon." Alastor said the last part of his normal voice, everything around started to warp and glitch again as he eyes turned into dials, but soon he returned to his normal self, "We'll return after these messages." He said before switching off the mic letting ambient music play.
"So... how'd I do?" Nate asked.
"Splendid! My lad." Alastor answered, "You have a keen eye for entertainment."
"Hope we can do this again real soon."
"Oh trust me, my good man. Real soon." He chuckled before opening a door that magically led to the lobby, "Now run along now." He said and gently pushed Nate out the door before slamming it on his face.
"Nate! You're not gonna believe this!" He heard Charlie from afar which resulted in him running over to her to see what the commotion was about... thus ending our program.
(A/N: Hope you enjoyed this little add on to the story, thought I should add some music to Nate's lists before he becomes a celebrity. But anyway I hope you enjoy this and I'll see you soon.)
