Button Mash: In Love?
Chapter 4: BM and SB: Musical Bliss
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“This is good Button, where did you find this song?”, Sweetie Belle asked.
“I found it while on a trip to Manehattan, the band was playing in a club, and we walked by the club. I stopped and listened to them until my family came back to get me, which an hour later.”, Button said.
The song in question was Hybrid Moments by Misfits, a punk band that had been around for quite a long time. Sweetie was honestly suprised that Button liked this kind of music, but I suited him nonetheless.
“Can we listen to some more? I’m really digging this”, she said, sitting down in front of the record player.
“Of course, you pick one”, he said.
She skimmed on the shelf, seeing names that interested her. Sum 41, Blink 182, Goldfinger, The Hippos, and Less Than Jake were just some of the names she saw. And then she found two that made her really curious. One was and album called Nevermind by Nirvana, and the cover had a baby colt swimming in a pool. The other was Coltifornication, an album by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, which was....Well...It was Coltifornication.
“Oh, these are good choices. Honestly, my two favorite albums of all time”, he said with a happy smile.
Sweetie picked Nevermind and put it into the record player. The first track hit her like ton of bricks, she had never heard anything like it before. She sat in complete bliss as the violent notes hit her ears, then exploded into a riff that could shape a generation.
“Do you like it? It’s called Smells Like Teen Spirit, it’s a classic”, Button said.
Sweetie lit up at the chorus and began to jump to the beat. Button joined her as they created their own make shift mosh pit. As the song drew towards it close, Sweetie wiped sweat off her brow, she had been wrapped in a beautiful, violent, and emotional rollercoaster of music.
“Your dang right I enjoyed it! How come I’ve never heard of it?”, she said.
“Well, they were very popular about 20 years ago, and their lead singer Kolt Cobain committed suicide. It’s sad really, they were so good”, he said sadly.
Sweetie nodded and picked up Coltifornication, and switched on the first track. Like Nevermind, the first track blew her away. The bass rumbled and then exploded into a fast and violent ensemble of guitar and drums. She was so happy that her grin widened each second.
Button was sure happy that she liked his music, other ponies didn’t share his tastes, but that didn’t matter. Sweetie was happy, so he was happy.
The song ended and she just kept smiling. It was a special moment, and she was glad that they shared it.
