The Ballad of Marion Blew (3) The Holy Note
For all it's worth, the holy note does not exist
Marion believes it does, for she can hear it
It is seldom heard, but often mused over
It was one night, at the Tempest theatre, in which this note was sung
And it rung out all over the world, not just in side the auditorium...
In it's blissfulness, it reverberated across the land.
Everybody stopped their activities and listened....
Something the likes of which has never been heard, a billion smiles simultaneously made, emanating joy, but also that of pain...
It was a bittersweet sensation... For the most part Marion wasn't prepared for what was to come..
It was blessed as it was cursed, it drove some individuals mad trying to find the note, going all up the musical scales and scrutinising every musical theory they could find.
When word got out about Marion Blew, the world became her oyster..
Crowds of people stood outside her house, holding up signs "WE WANT THE HOLY NOTE"
"HOW CAN YOU KEEP A LOVELY SOUND A SECRET"..
As Marion stepped outside, she was faced with thousands of inquisitive faces, all wanting to know one thing....
"I AM SORRY, I FEEL LIKE YOU ALL HAVE MADE YOUR WAY HERE FOR NOTHING"..
"THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, I DO NOT HAVE... THE NOTE WAS SUNG BY ME YES, BUT WHEN I TRYED TO REACH AGAIN TO SING, I JUST COULD NOT...
" IN FACT NOW, WHEN I TRY TO SING, I TRY AND REACH ANY NOTE AND I START TO BECOME DIZZY AND THEN NOTHING.. I PASS OUT AND WAKE UP A SHORT TIME LATER, YET I CAN STILL HOLD A PROPER CONVERSATION FOR ANYONE LIKE WITH YOU ALL NOW".
"IT ALL SOUNDS VERY CONVENIENT I FEEL", a reporter bellows.
"YOU CAN'T OWN A NOTE, IT'S NOT YOURS TO HOLD BACK".
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND... NO ONE UNDERSTANDS, I WISH I NEVER SUNG IT, IT HAS BROUGHT ME WORLDWIDE ATTENTION, BUT ATTENTION I NEVER WANTED".
"WHY THEN, MISS BLEW, DO YOU SING IF YOU DON'T WANT THE ATTENTION"?
"BEFORE THIS, YOU ALREADY HAD A MODEST YET ADORING FANBASE YOU PERFORMED FOR ALL OVER THE WORLD, NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO PERFORM FOR US WHEN WE HAVE COME OF OUR OWN VOLITION ALL OVER THE WORLD TO SEE YOU"....
Marion takes a step forward, then stumbles, her vision withering away, fading fading, now completely black.....
