A Tin Machine
Friends since childhood, music lovers and companions in the mysteries of life, Bowie Rowland and Rush Webber find themselves rising to stardom along with their band, slowly recognizing the world around them and its changes once everybody knows their name. The overwhelming feeling of flashes, eyes, judgment, and conditional love, take them to find comfort in the familiarity of their friendship once things begin to turn everything but homey. Touring, dancing, singing, playing, finding love, all those simple moments of passion turn into a new wave of a feeling they thought so unmistakable.
But at least they are together.
It's always been Bowie and Rush, Rushy and Bo--friends forever.
What happens when that statement turns into a spiraling question of emotions, sensations, and doubts of who they are as a singular and as a plural?
...............
"Maybe I'm in love with the idea of it. I don't think there's such a thing as love per se. There's infatuation, obsession, need, carnal desire. It's such a wide spectrum that creates one's love for others and their own, it seems absurd to put in a box named love and call it a day, don't you think?"
...............
"I found myself wishing love was simple like music was, that I could listen or study or see love like songs. I wished that love was something I couldn't control, something that would guide me through life... But love was not simple for me."
