because i feel like it

A group of friends start a garage band. I'm almost positive that they think not much of it in the grand sceme of their lives and the growing pop culture. But they are all friends and they do it all just to maybe become closer, or maybe it is to become what they never had; a family. They practice more than any normal band does. But most of the time is spent throwing m&ms at each other and writing nonsense with a tune. But they gain some followers and tap into the actual composition talent they have only to find they have much more than they had all ever realized. They call the band "cosmic flight squad". A local gig was a step up from school fund raisers and the occasional family party.

Playing on what could barely be considered a stage, one member had a realization. Looking out on the people who were singing along with him, singing along with HIM. He was just a kid. But to think that he had control and influence over more than just him was incredibly empowering. They knew his words; the words that he had writtten that night that they slept in his basement and ate day old pizza. But in the same moment he made a vow. He would not become famous. he didnt want it. He didn't want people falling all over him and having people ask which brand of water he wanted in the tour bus.

Finishing the set he walked off the stage thinking one thing. I do this because i love music, not because i want to go places. I go places because i want to go places. I write music just because i feel like it. It was what his soul ached to do, so he did it. But his soul did not ache to lose what had made him who he was, his character. So he wrote and wrote but never performed again.

RIP- cosmic flight squad
