News outlets buzzed about his tours. People from all over the world were caught up in a fever for his music, to the point where even legendary artists admitted it was refreshing to see a rock star of his caliber emerge in an era where many considered rock to be dead. Alongside The Strokes, rock still stood strong—two blazing stars keeping alive a select group of powerful songs, eccentric personalities, and the raw energy that once defined the genre.

Kraków was already a chaotic mess as Billy prepared for his performance. The crowd was jumping, losing their minds.

-It'll be twice as crazy in Serbia, - someone whispered to him.

But for Billy, it was a matter of pride—stirring people's emotions, igniting their spirits. He arrived with one goal: to make people smile, to get them to feel every note of his music.

They poured in, one after another. He stepped onto the stage shirtless, clad only in tight black jeans. His long hair was slicked back, the sides shaved. His striking, serious look would soon become the defining image of his tour—a photo that would grace the cover of his upcoming album, released as a two-million-unit deluxe edition.

-Are you ready to shake the ground tonight?! Tear your vocal cords, let your brains melt into the screams… Let your feet be destroyed! You bastards, I wanna hear you SCREAM! - Billy roared, his voice laced with that signature edge of fury that defined his fiery personality.

Have a Nice Day (Bon Jovi)

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?

And who are you to tell me if it's black or white?

Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand

Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?

My daddy lived a lie, it's just the price that he paid

Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto

That gets me through the night

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to

I'm gonna live my life

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

He poured more energy into his voice, channeling that power that comes when you know you're doing something wrong—when you're going against everything you're supposed to deny but don't care. He wanted to unleash fury—raw, uncontrolled, tangible. He fed off the audience's catharsis, pushing them further into that state of release.

Going to a Billy Carson concert was therapy. You screamed your lungs out, lost yourself in madness, let go of everything for half an hour. Then, just as suddenly, Billy would shift gears, drowning the crowd in nostalgia, making them cry, and helping them shed the burdens weighing on their shoulders. By the end of the night, they'd collapse into a deep sleep, waking up ready to face their lives again.

That was why his concerts were exploding in popularity—because of the way he sang, and the power he delivered. For a few hours, the audience became part of the rock itself, belonging to its world for as long as the music lasted. Then they'd return to reality—endless traffic jams, long train rides, grumpy bosses. Rock was freedom, and that freedom reminded them that, for a moment, nothing else mattered.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly

When the world gets in my face

I say, have a nice day

Have a nice day

Take a look around you, nothing's what it seems

We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams

Let me be the first to shake a helping hand

Anybody brave enough to take a stand

I knocked on every door down every dead-end street

Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe?

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

The fury kept dancing across the stage!

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto

That gets me through the night

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to

I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly

When the world gets in my face

I say, have a nice day

Have a nice day

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

Oh, oh, if there's one thing I hang onto

That gets me through the night

I ain't gonna do what I don't want to

I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice

Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly

When the world gets in my face

I say, have a nice day

Have a nice day, have a nice day

When the world keeps trying to drag me down

Gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground

I say, hey, have a nice day

Have a nice day, have a nice day

Spencer's guitar screamed with such intensity that the crowd descended into chaos. People shoved and collided in a frenzied circle, laughing, losing themselves in the madness. The cameras captured the mayhem. The venue was packed, but an uneasy sense of anticipation loomed.

Billy took a deep breath, surveying his creation. He observed the day, the night, and the overwhelmed security staff. He chuckled—a defiant, reckless sound. Jerry shook his head at him… but his eyes gleamed with excitement at the sheer audacity, the electric thrill of it all. He slammed his fist on the table—this was what everyone in the rock world lived for.

You are gonna far, Kid(offspring)

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶

Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time

And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach

Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd

And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance

And no one even knew it was really only you

And now you steal away

Take him out today

Nice work you did

You're gonna go far, kid

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵

This song was about forming in the day, from childhood to adult, taking off the masks of immaturity and becoming an adult who had to make the decisions to succeed, to seek happiness, while we lie to ourselves that all is well, the doubt of failure and why sometimes letting go of that and just running is what we need, the awakening of denial comes to no one, but can be considered an excuse. Just move on and forget

When you decide that things are well done, why else should you worry, the past unchanged, the present full of doubt, and the future a fact that you will walk, then the song is a letter to the boy, the man, and the old man. Billy used his knowledge to fill life with tender sketches of freedom, love, and desire for all in the concert. A child jumping on the bed was the image he sang for this song, which filled people again with naivety and rationality, two sides of a coin necessary to look for the future.

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes

Hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See 'em running for their lives

Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight

So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me

There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay

And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me

Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance

And no one even knew, it was really only you

And now you'll lead the way

Show the light of day

Nice work you did

You're gonna go far, kid

Trust deceived

Gustack listened to the music, and all took a seat, she was exhausted, exhausted by the deep meaning she found in the lyrics, 29 years old and she felt her life was about to end, but now it was about to begin.

Her tears spilled over with a smile on her face. What can a man who is compromised by his heart do, only cry, while covering his face to find silence? Reality consumes him, but catharsis gives him a new ride, he puts wheels on his bicycle to keep moving forward and take him to his destination, a road that seems uncertain from every angle.

-I'm afraid it's painful. - sigh Gustack, now with tears welling up.

I felt the soul accompany him, life put many obstacles.

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes

Hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See 'em running for their lives

Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance

And no one even knew, it was really only you

So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance

It was really only you

The jumping child, now the man watching his children jump, was life, the reproduction process, and a forgotten name that would be lost in the future.

🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵

With a thousand lies and a good disguise

Hit 'em right between the eyes

Hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See 'em running for their lives

Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies

Hit 'em right between the eyes

Hit 'em right between the eyes

When you walk away, nothing more to say

See the lightning in your eyes

See 'em running for their lives

Connor and Sugar Egg Sweated, was a very demanding song, after the demands born by Billy, to perfect the song, they slowly and methodically incorporated to be more than a great song.
