Music And Lyrics Page #2

Synopsis: Cheery Alex Fletcher lives comfortably in Manhattan off the residuals from his 80's pop success and reprising his hits at school reunions, theme parks, and state fairs. But those gigs are declining, so he jumps at the chance to write a song and record it with reigning teen idol Cora Corman. Trouble is, he's good at melodies but needs a lyricist and has less than a week to finish. Enter Sophie Fisher, subbing for a friend who waters Alex's plants; she's a pretty good poet, quick witted, and could do it, if she'd agree. But there's some sort of shadow over her head that Alex may not be able to charm his way past. And what if they do get a song written, what then?

All right, wait, wait, wait.

ls it even a good idea? Pros and cons.

Pros:
She's a huge star,

great publicity, terrific money.

Cons?

No matter what you do,

in 40 years we'll both be dead.

Okay. Huge star, great publicity,

terrific money versus eventual death.

l think we have to think about it.

Okay, good, because Cora

is shooting a video tonight.

-She wants to meet both of us right after.

-Tonight?

-Tonight?

-Yes, tonight.

You all right?

Do you have a Band-Aid

and antibiotic cream?

No, no. And sadly,

l think l've lent out my iron lung.

Okay.

Well, then l'm gonna go because,

you know, this could get infected.

And it's not clotting yet, but, l mean,

l'm a little hypochondriacal.

You just-- You can never be too careful.

Anyway, l'll come back and finish.

So come again. l mean, you live here.

l'll come again.

l'm gonna go get this looked at.

You should really have a first-aid kit.

Thank you. Have a good night. l'll see you.

Weird.

-Don't give her a key.

-No.

So you said something about tonight.

Tonight we meet Cora.

I've got to have my Nuddha's delight

Om shanti, shanti

I've got to have my Nuddha's delight

Om shanti, shanti

I want a revelation

And sweet salvation

And the eternal fire

Show me the eternal fire

Like sitting meditation

You give me elevation

Can you take me higher?

She seems like a very spiritual kid.

Yeah. lt's nice to see

a young woman exploring religion.

I'm not satisfied if I don't get

My Nuddha's delight

And cut.

Terrific.

-Hey, l'm Ray, Cora's manager.

-Chris Riley.

-Nice to meet you.

-Alex Fletcher.

-Great to meet you.

-Hi, Ray...?

Just Ray. Cora's this way, come on.

Follow me.

C, this is Alex Fletcher

and his manager, Chris Riley.

-We loved the video. lt was unbelievable.

-Yeah.

You know, l wish l brought my daughter.

She worships you.

l'm divorced. But that's another story.

Mr. Fletcher, it's a pleasure.

Your song ''Dance With Me Tonight'' got me

through my parents' divorce when l was 7.

Really? Wow.

Yeah, because l recorded that

when l was 9, so.... Yeah.

l want my fans to know the same

spiritual uplift that your music gave me.

That would be lovely. l have a few tunes

it would be nice to update.

Oh, l don't live in the past, Mr. Fletcher.

lt was so long ago.

l want you to write a new song.

-Okay.

-You see...

...l recently broke up with my boyfriend.

We had been together

for almost two months.

lt was a terrible experience.

But then l read a book by Guru Mathashavi

called A Way Nack Into Love.

And that will be the title

of our new song.

And in two weeks when l open my tour

at Madison Square Garden...

...we'll perform it together.
