How honest do you want me to be?

August James

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

isn't that a song or something

August James

I don't know, I don't listen to that kinda music

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

How do you know what kinda music that is though? 👀

August James

it just sounds like the title of a very cringey pop song, doesn't it?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I bet you'd listen to it if it was like written by Bring me the horizon or something

August James

first of all im really surprised you know that band, second of all i would have in high school but not today!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I know stuff ;)

August James

i'm sure you didn't mean for it to sound the way it did but this is very amusing

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

oh ha-ha-ha !

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

You'd listen to a song called Lie to Me if I wrote it though, right? :))

August James

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Sorry, I had to feed my cats!

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Anyway! I've just listened to it and I'm utterly speechless! This is amazing, August! Did you just come up with it?

August James

I've been working on it for some time, actually!! I might need some help with the lyrics for the bridge. It's a little tricky

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Hmm okay! Give me a moment or two

August James

Thank you LIFE SAVER😩🙏

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

maybe that should be my contact name in your phone 👀

August James

no.

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

Whatever 🙄

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

So, do you have any ideas for the bridge?

August James

Yes!

August James

something like

dududuudu that's the melody going up into the peak like until it reaches the denouement and it's like

something about having loved and being loved and lost and like you know to complete the theme of the song but then it's like bam! maybe its all a load of bullshit and it comes crashing down with the music like you heard in the instrumental bit that i recorded and yeah it just goes into the chorus again! and then duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun it ends on that

major chord instead, like oh, no actually, maybe theres hope?

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

That's actually fucking genius

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

August seriously, the music literally tells the story you're trying to tell even without the lyrics

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I hope you understand just how special that is

August James

stoooop i'll get emotional😩

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

OKAY lemme brain storm and get back to you

August James

thanks :)))

August James

a little bit of love, they say, is better than none

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

hmmm how about

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

I heard a little bit of love is better than none

What a load of bullshit, I say, I know I'm not your only, but at least I was one

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT

then BAM chorus!

August James

HOLD ON

August James

that might just be perfect OMG THANK YOU

MISS TAYLOR FUCKING SWIFT
