What songs do you want me to play for you at the beach?
Omg… I don’t know?! Anything?!
It can’t just be anything! I need to know your rankings…
I am actually kind of… mind… empty? Right now?! I can’t think of any songs?!
Then why did you mention that I could play guitar for you at the beach?!
Because the concept of that seems sweet. I don’t mind what songs?!
Text from Bros:
You’ve ugh… actually opened up a can of worms here… he has a library of thousands and thousands and thousands of songs that he can play on guitar in his brain. This is a little overwhelming. He needs more specifics — what songs do you want?! Top 5? Top 10? Top 20? Give him something! He needs a setlist to work with!
(Giggles) It is just HANGING OUT at the BEACH. Like NORMAL PEOPLE. It doesn’t have to be “professional” at all!?!?!!?!?!?
Text from Bros:
Oh… she doesn’t understand us at all…
(Chuckles) I do want a set list to work with… I think that will help me a lot…
Okay…? (Thinking about this)… Hmmm…
PLEASE — NO JOHN MAYER —
No John Mayer?
Yeah. Absolute NO John Mayer. We still do not like him because of Taylor Swift drama!
Okay. No John Mayer.
Ed Sheeran?
Ed Sheeran?
Text from Bros:
Ed Sheeran is good! We can work with Ed Sheeran! Anyone else?!
Hmmm….
Keshi?!
You still love Keshi…
Keshi… Soft Spot…? Acoustic version…?
Text from Bros:
His voice is not in that range!!! He can’t sing Keshi!!!
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)…. Well I don’t know, can’t he just play the guitar and another bro sing Keshi!?!?!?!?!?!
Text from Bros:
Okay. We will pencil in Keshi as Plan B. Who else?!!
Okay, I thought of another one:
“Tide is high” by Atomic Kitten… but obviously like, change the gender in the lyrics?!
Text from Bros:
We are making a note of it.
What about Lover? Taylor Swift?
(Shaking head)… Nah…
Why not?!
I don’t know, it feels… too… cheesy?!
Cheesy?!
Yeah… like… in front of all your friends?!?! It’s kinda cringe!!!
(Shaking head in disbelief) Okay fine. No Lover. No Taylor Swift?!
Hmmm… yeah, probably not… I think Taylor is… too… SACRED…?! Too sacred for a guitar session in front of all your friends…
Text from Bros:
Woahhh she really loves and respects Taylor Swift like THAT!!!
What about Coldplay?
(Shaking head) No… I’m just… not a Coldplay fan anymore… I guess I was in early 2000s but that was so long ago… I don’t resonate with them anymore…
(Wide-eyed) THIS IS A SURPRISE TO ME!
Yeah… (shrugs shoulders)… I don’t feel it…
Text from Bros:
You see?! This is WHY he needs a SET LIST. Otherwise he would’ve gone and practiced Coldplay and then you’re like “Oh it’s making me cringe!” — And then he’s humiliated!!! He needs to know the FULL. SET. LIST!!!
Okay… Umm…
I do love Jack Johnson “Better Together”…
(Smiling)
But it might make me pregnant.
Text from Bros:
NO JACK JOHNSON!!! JACK JOHNSON TOO SEXY!!! NO JACK JOHNSON!!!
(Giggles)…
OKAY… what about… Spice Girls?!
Spice Girls?!
Yeah. Just something light-hearted… Spice Girls… nostalgic…
(Puzzled)
Text from Bros:
We can work with Spice Girls. Keep going! Who else?! These are good ideas!
Hmmm… well…
I don’t know, Red Hot Chilli Peppers?!
(Very Surprised) That just came… out of nowhere?!
Text from Bros:
We are also intrigued. Why the hell is she interested in music by Red Hot Chilli Peppers!?!?!?!
(Chuckles) I like the Zephyr song…
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place togetherIn the water, where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’ll find a place together
(Slow blinking) How long have you liked that song for?!
I don’t know, since like, year 12?!
How did you… why would you… Red Hot Chilli Peppers?!?!
I can’t even remember. I think I had their CD?
This is like when I found out you were doing homework and listening to Eminem…
OH! EMINEM!!! CAN YOU RAP EMINEM ON THE BEACH?!!?!?
Text from Bros:
We will have a meeting…
(Giggles)
Okay!!! Is that enough for now?!
Just SURPRISE ME! I really don’t care that much, it’s not like I’m asking for a private concert at the beach?!?!!
Most people just hang out there with a guitar and it’s not even complete songs. People are just hanging out at the beach with a guitar! It’s not meant to be taken THAT SERIOUSLY like you need a whole set list?!?!?!!?
(Deep breaths) I’m gonna… I’m gonna have a meeting with my bros about this.
(Chuckles) Okay… you guys do that… take your time!!! This is NOT the “priority” — your World Tour is the priority!?!?! A random beach hang out session’s “set list” is NOT. Priority!!!
