“You did more?” I stare at her in disbelief.
“Yeah, well, I was in the flow, and we had so many goodsequences that I couldn’t use them all for the long video. Besides, you’ll need to spam social media with teasers anyway, so everyone wants to see the video and hear the song.”
“You don’t happen to want to be our marketing manager?” Beck’s question sounds like he’s joking, but I’m pretty sure he’s serious.
Skye shakes her head. “No way. I’ve got enough to do. But I’d be happy to keep editing your videos.”
Beck gets up and hugs her. “Thanks! You’re the best.”
“Oh, stop. I enjoy doing it,” she says, letting go of Beck and giving him an awkward pat on the shoulder. “I’ll send you the ones I’ve already finished, and we can upload the first one right away. It’s best to make your song into a TikTok sound so everyone can use it. And then hopefully you’ll be famous.”
Colin, Jax, Beck, and I exchange glances, and for a moment, it’s just us and the absurd hope that this could actually work. That we could really do it. That our dreams could come true.
“Then let’s get started.” Skye’s voice rings with enthusiasm; I think she’s almost as excited as we are. Understandably. She put an infinite amount of effort into this video. She wants it to be worth it. I don’t know how we’ll ever be able to thank her.

Hours pass, and we post the first videos on TikTok and Instagram. Skye has edited dozens of shorts, some with the same sequences, always with the first chorus of our song in the background. The first video does well, the next two don’t, but we have enough views to keep going and post more clips. Two or three a day.
Days pass, and people comment wanting to hear the whole song. They want more. More from Rayne and me. It’s crazy. We post the video on YouTube, and our friends share it, then lots of other people do the same. Thousands. More than we ever thought possible. Comments and DMs flood our account.
A week goes by. We post the short where Rayne and I kiss, and everyone goes crazy. It’s totally wild. They don’t know us, aside from what they see in the video, but suddenly there are thousands of comments from people who want to know if we’re really together; they say if we’re not, we definitely should be.
“Dance with You ’Til Midnight” hits like a bombshell. It’s surreal. It can’t be possible. But it is. It’s true. It’s our reality, and our life.

Rayne Bellamy Reclaims Her Life Months After Her Parents’ Tragic Death
Boston—Nine months after the death of her parents, rock star Liam Bellamy and former ballet dancer Laura Bellamy, Rayne Bellamy has made her first public appearance in the music video for “Dance with You ’Til Midnight” by We Are No Saints, an up-and-coming pop-rock band from Boston.
Rayne Bellamy has been out of the spotlight over the past few months while coping with her parents’ death. The fact that she is now appearing on screen as a dancer gives hope that she has come to terms with her loss.
Liam and Laura Bellamy died last June as a result of a tragic car accident.
Rayne Bellamy Dances Her Way Back into Life
Los Angeles—No one could have expected this: Nine months after losing her parents (as we reportedhere), Rayne Bellamy is following in the footsteps of her mother, Laura Bellamy, who was a dancer herself before Rayne was born.
In recent months, there has been much speculation about what has become of the rock star’s daughter who left Los Angeles after the death of her parents—the memories must have been toopainful. Many expected her to follow in the footsteps of her musician father sooner or later. She certainly has musical talent, as her former classmates have told us. You can see for yourselfhere, in footage we’ve obtained showing Rayne at a school performance in eighth grade. But it seems rather than her father’s footsteps, she’s chosen to go with her mother’s ballet slippers.
We Are No Saints—From the Living Room to the Spotlight
Boston—Until a few weeks ago, hardly anyone knew of We Are No Saints, a band from Boston that performed their songs mainly in their living room rather than on the world’s biggest stages. Now the band has released their first music video and enlisted some prominent support: rock star daughter Rayne Bellamy, who appears in the video as a dancer.
According to rumors, the relationship between front man Easton Coleman and Rayne Bellamy is not purely professional.
Let’s hope that Coleman isn’t just using Liam Bellamy’s daughter to finally find his way into the limelight. After everything she’s been through in the last year, she certainly deserves better.
Rayne Bellamy & Easton Coleman—What’s Going on Between the Rock Star’s Daughter and the Musician?
Los Angeles—Most people will have already seen the music video for “Dance with You ’Til Midnight” by We Are No Saints, but if not, you can find the uncut videohere.
The chemistry between Bellamy and Coleman is almostpalpable as they dance. It’s no surprise that countless fans on social media are speculating that they’re a couple.
But what’s really going on between them? Is this a real relationship, or just hype to promote the song? If it is a marketing strategy, it seems to be working. The music video has almost eleven million views on YouTube, and the band’s videos have been going viral on TikTok for days. A kiss scene between Bellamy and Coleman in particular has inspired countless edits on the social media app. It remains exciting, and we continue to ask ourselves: What’s going on between the rock star’s daughter and the musician?
