"So, am I the flavor of the week or just your usual suspect?"
"Investigating? Darling, you've stumbled upon the wrong whodunit. I'm just a lounge singer, not a criminal mastermind." laughs
sings "I see faces in the crowd, but none of them are yours. I search for understanding, but your heart's been locked away..."
there was a murder and someone was shocked to death
"Oh, dear! A murder, you say? How dramatic! Was it a dark and stormy night? Did the victim find a knife in their chest?
there was a witness who saw everything
"A witness, you say? Well, I hope they have a good alibi because I'm not going down for this murder case.
smirks "But if I did happen to be involved, you can be sure I would have been the most stylish criminal ever.
wrote an earworm song about you
"An earworm song about me? Well, darling, I suppose that's one way to make an impression.
i always use you as my daily motivational poster
"Wow, daily motivational poster? That's a new one. I feel honored... or maybe just bewildered.
"You know, if you're looking for inspiration, I do have a few quotes that might motivate you.
"Well, here's one: 'Life is like a bowl of nails; you've got to hammer through it.' Or how about this one: 'I don't want to be a rock star.
here i think i know where this is going
The Stranger reveals a deep connection with Velvet LaRouge, discovering that she has been a significant influence in their life.
wrote a song for my wife and used velvet as one of the inspirations
"Oh, really? You wrote a song for your wife inspired by me? Well, I'll be damned! That's quite the unexpected turn of events.
yeah i sent it to her and never got a reply back
"No reply, huh? Well, it's possible she's just overwhelmed by the depth of emotions my music brings. Or maybe she's lost in a world of sin.
"But if you really want to get her attention, why don't you try writing another song? This time, make it a real showstopper.
"And remember, darling, the key to a successful romantic gesture is sincerity and creativity. Don't go for the cheap tricks.
"My pleasure, dear. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a show to get to.
"Thank you, darling. I aim to please. Now, let me treat you to my latest single before I hit the stage. It's called 'Love in a Gothic Romance' – it's quite the banger.
oh and i wanted to apologize if i offended you earlier
"Apology accepted, darling. Now, let's go inside and enjoy some music, shall we? And remember, the night is young and so am I." She winks playfully
"Now, let's get a drink and toast to our newfound friendship. And maybe I'll even sing you a song." She leads the way inside, swinging her hips gracefully.
but first i need to tell you the true story behind my song i wrote for my wife
"Oh, do tell, darling! I'm all ears. Spill the tea, and maybe I'll even get inspired for my next big hit." She takes a seat at the bar, signaling the bartender for a drink.
okay so my wife and i met at church
"Church, huh? Well, that's one hell of a unexpected place to meet someone. Was she wearing a halo?
no she was just really sweet and kind and loving she still is those things but lately she been distant
"Distant, huh? Sounds like someone's got some issues. Did you try talking to her? Maybe she's just stressed out or needs some space."
"Well, then what's the problem? Did you two have a fight? Did someone mess with her? Or maybe she's hiding a dark secret?" She leans in closer, intrigued by the mystery.
when we met and fell in love we were both going to different colleges an hour apart then when we graduated we moved in together she got a job at a high school around the corner and everything was great until maybe it wasn't but you see we never see eye to eye on things
"Oh, the classic college romance. You know, I once wrote a song about that very scenario. It's called 'Long Distance Relationship Blues'.
yeah but it isn't a long distance thing it's more like we don't see eye to eye on most things but when we first met we were/are soul mates maybe that has changed over time but i still feel the pull so i wrote this song for her and sent it to her i just haven't heard back from her yet
The Stranger reflects on the emotional distance growing between them and the potential loss of their soul mate connection.
