Msuician Life
Episode 1: The Beginning of Rema
Remi, a struggling musician, sits in his small apartment, surrounded by scattered papers, a dimly lit lamp casting a glow on his journal. He flips through the pages, each filled with lyrics, ideas, and dreams. He stops at a fresh page, takes a deep breath, and writes at the top:
"Show Me"
This song will be the one. The one that takes him from an unknown artist to a rising star. As he writes, he reminds himself why he chose the stage name Rema—it’s a shorter, more memorable version of his real name, something that feels personal yet powerful. A name that carries his identity but makes it easy for people to remember.
He grabs his pen and starts writing the lyrics.
Show Me
by Rema
(Verse 1)
I’ve been searching for the light
Through the dark, through the night
Tell me, are you by my side?
Or am I chasing empty vibes?
(Pre-Chorus)
I see shadows when I dream
But your voice, it calls to me
If you’re real, then let me know
Don’t let me stand here all alone
(Chorus)
Show me, show me
Are you the one that’s meant for me?
Hold me, hold me
Let me feel what’s real to see
Show me, show me
If the love is true and free
Don’t leave me guessing, let me be
(Verse 2)
Every night, I hear the sound
Of a heart that’s breaking down
Is it mine, is it yours?
Or just echoes from before?
(Pre-Chorus)
I see shadows when I dream
But your voice, it calls to me
If you’re real, then let me know
Don’t let me stand here all alone
(Chorus)
Show me, show me
Are you the one that’s meant for me?
Hold me, hold me
Let me feel what’s real to see
Show me, show me
If the love is true and free
Don’t leave me guessing, let me be
(Bridge)
No more lies, no more games
I just wanna hear your name
If you’re real, just take my hand
Let me know where we stand
(Outro)
Show me, show me
Are you the one that’s meant for me?
Hold me, hold me
Let me feel what’s real to see
He looks at the lyrics, feeling the emotion behind every word. He signs the page with a simple Rema at the bottom. This is it. His moment is coming.
Episode 2: Missed Opportunity, New Beginning
Remi was finally getting his big break—a performance at a major local event, where producers and talent scouts would be watching. This was his shot. But something happened.
An emergency came up, something he couldn’t ignore. He ran off, thinking he could make it back in time. But when he returned, he was too late. The organizers had replaced him. His one chance was gone.
Devastated, Remi sat in his apartment, staring at his journal. The disappointment weighed on him, but he wasn’t ready to quit music. That’s when an idea hit him—YouTube.
If the industry wouldn’t give him a chance, he would create his own platform. He grabbed his phone, set up a channel, and called it "Rema." He filmed his first video and uploaded it.
First Video: "Hi guys, it’s me, Rema"

Video Description:
"This is my story. I was supposed to perform at a big event, but I missed my chance. So now, I’m taking control of my own career. On this channel, I’ll be posting my music, my journey, and maybe some challenges too. To start, drop three random words in the comments, and I’ll make a song out of them!"

Episode 3: The First Song – "Fire, Love, Rain"
Remi scrolled through the hundreds of comments under his first YouTube video. The support was crazy. He had never felt this kind of love before.
After reading through all the words people had suggested, one comment stood out to him:
"Fire, Love, Rain" – Make it emotional, bro.
He clicked on the username: @JayMusicFan.
Remi grabbed his journal, flipped to a fresh page, and wrote down the title:
Fire, Love, Rain
(Inspired by @JayMusicFan’s comment)
He set up his mic, turned on his camera, and started recording.

Song Lyrics – "Fire, Love, Rain"
(Verse 1)
I was drowning in the silence, lost in my own way
Then you came in like a fire, burning through the grey
Every heartbeat felt like thunder, striking through my chest
But love ain’t just the sunshine, it puts you through the test
(Pre-Chorus)
You were fire, I was rain
We were dancing in the pain
Falling hard, but we still stayed
Now we’re caught inside the flame
(Chorus)
Fire, love, rain
Mixing pleasure with the pain
Holding on through every storm
But will we make it through the flames?
Fire, love, rain
Burning wild then fade away
Tell me, do we fight again
Or let the water wash the stains?
(Verse 2)
Every moment felt electric, but the sparks began to die
We were running, we were reckless, now we’re strangers in the night
I can hear the distant thunder, but your voice is fading out
Was it love or just the danger? Were we lost or were we found?
(Pre-Chorus)
You were fire, I was rain
We were dancing in the pain
Falling hard, but we still stayed
Now we’re caught inside the flame
(Chorus)
Fire, love, rain
Mixing pleasure with the pain
Holding on through every storm
But will we make it through the flames?
Fire, love, rain
Burning wild then fade away
Tell me, do we fight again
Or let the water wash the stains?
(Bridge)
Now the ashes hit the ground
Are we lost or can we be found?
Do we let the past remain
Or try again in fire, love, rain?
(Outro)
Fire, love, rain…
Fire, love, rain…
Tell me, do we fight again
Or let the water wash the stains?
Video Ending:
As the last note fades, Remi looks straight into the camera.
"Yo, huge shoutout to @JayMusicFan for the words ‘Fire, Love, Rain.’ This one’s for you, man. And to everyone else, keep dropping three random words in the comments. Who knows? Your words might be my next song. See you in the next one!"
