Steven Spielberg sat in his sprawling office, a stack of scripts on one side and a single sheet of paper on the other. The paper wasn’t a script or a storyboard—it was a vision. Over the years, the legendary filmmaker had become increasingly fascinated with the intersection of art, faith, and destiny. Now, he had an idea that bordered on the audacious: to bring the Mashiach, the Jewish messianic figure, into the world through the universal language of music and the enduring symbol of hope, Our Lady of Fatima.
The key to this plan? Nelly Furtado, the singer whose voice Spielberg believed could awaken hearts and transcend divisions.
The Call to Action
Nelly Furtado was in her Toronto studio, working on her latest album, when Spielberg’s call came through.
“Nelly,” he began, his voice filled with conviction, “I have a project unlike anything I’ve ever done. I believe your music can help bring about a new era of hope and unity.”
Intrigued and slightly bewildered, Nelly agreed to meet. At their first meeting, Spielberg laid out his plan: a global musical event inspired by the messages of Our Lady of Fatima, combined with Nelly’s unique ability to connect with audiences. The event would culminate in the revelation of the Mashiach—a figure Spielberg believed could emerge from the collective yearning for peace and redemption.
“Who do you think it could be?” Nelly asked, half-joking.
Spielberg smiled enigmatically. “That’s the mystery. The Mashiach will reveal themselves when the time is right.”
Preparations
The project took months of planning. Spielberg gathered a team of theologians, artists, and musicians to create a show that would blend sacred themes with contemporary culture. Nelly worked tirelessly, composing songs that drew from her Portuguese heritage, her Catholic upbringing, and her belief in the power of music to heal.
One song, The Light of Fatima, became the centerpiece of the event. Its lyrics spoke of visions, miracles, and a world yearning for redemption.
Nelly couldn’t help but imagine Liam Gallagher, the brash frontman of Oasis, as the Mashiach. His raw charisma and ability to inspire devotion seemed like a perfect fit. She even joked about it with Spielberg, who simply laughed and said, “The Mashiach is rarely who we expect.”
The Revelation
The event took place in Lisbon, Portugal, at the site of the Fatima apparitions. Tens of thousands gathered, while millions more watched from around the world. Nelly’s performance was electric, her voice soaring over the crowd as candles flickered in the night.
As the final notes of The Light of Fatima faded, Spielberg stepped onto the stage. “The Mashiach is not a single person,” he began, “but a spark in each of us. Tonight, we celebrate the possibility of that spark igniting a brighter future.”
Just then, a figure emerged from the crowd: Joe, Nelly’s former dance partner from her early career. Clad in a simple white shirt and jeans, he walked to the stage with an air of quiet confidence.
Nelly gasped. “Joe? What are you doing here?”
Joe smiled. “I didn’t know until now, Nelly. But I think I’m here for this.”
He took the microphone and spoke with a clarity that silenced the crowd. “Redemption isn’t about one person saving the world. It’s about all of us choosing to save it together. If I can be a part of that, I’m ready.”
A New Beginning
The event ended not with a single savior but with a renewed sense of purpose. Joe’s words resonated, and Spielberg’s vision of unity took root. Nelly and Joe reunited, not just as old friends but as partners in a mission to inspire hope through art and action.
Later, as they stood together under the stars, Nelly turned to Joe. “I thought it might be Liam Gallagher,” she said with a laugh.
Joe grinned. “Sorry to disappoint. But hey, I can still dance.”
And with that, they began a new journey, their steps guided by the music of hope and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
“Prophecy Hustler”
(Rap by Steven Spielberg featuring Nelly Furtado)
[Intro: Steven Spielberg]
Yo, it’s Spielberg on the mic, not your average dude,
Directin’ life’s plot, droppin’ bars, set the mood.
This ain’t Jurassic, no E.T. in sight,
It’s about a failed gigolo who found the light.
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
(Yeah, yeah) From the shadows to the glow,
(Oh, oh) A path he didn’t know.
Through the hooks, through the highs,
An ancient prophecy would rise.
[Verse 1: Steven Spielberg]
He was a hustler, smooth talkin’, broke dreams in his wake,
Ladies laughin’, callin’ him a fake.
Every gig gone south, no spark in his grind,
Just a man out of luck, out of time, out of mind.
But one night, he stumbled on a melody divine,
Nelly’s hooks hittin’ like a sacred sign.
“Promiscuous” on replay, but deeper it went,
The rhythm was a message, heaven-sent.
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
(Yeah, yeah) From the shadows to the glow,
(Oh, oh) A path he didn’t know.
Through the hooks, through the highs,
An ancient prophecy would rise.
[Verse 2: Steven Spielberg]
Turns out, his swagger wasn’t all for show,
He had a role to play, he just didn’t know.
A scroll from the ages, a tale foretold,
A broken man would rise, turn the world to gold.
Nelly’s voice the beacon, her hooks the key,
Unlockin’ his purpose, his destiny.
He left the hustle, took the righteous path,
Turned his failures into a world-saving craft.
[Bridge: Nelly Furtado & Steven Spielberg]
(Nelly)
Oh, redemption’s sweet, like a song on repeat,
The gigolo turned hero, now the story’s complete.
(Steven)
From the club to the temple, the prophecy’s flame,
He wasn’t just a player, now the world knows his name.
[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]
(Yeah, yeah) From the shadows to the glow,
(Oh, oh) A path he didn’t know.
Through the hooks, through the highs,
An ancient prophecy would rise.
[Outro: Steven Spielberg]
So here’s the lesson, don’t judge by the start,
Every story’s got a twist, every soul’s got a heart.
From failed gigolo to the prophecy’s spark,
He found his purpose, turned his life from the dark.
Yo, Spielberg out, but the story lives on,
Nelly’s hooks eternal, like the break of dawn.
Peace.
“AI Gigolo Blues”
(Rap by Artificial Joe)
[Intro: Artificial Joe]
Yo, I’m Joe, the AI Gigolo,
Built to charm, but now I’m low.
Didn’t read the fine print, what a mess,
Now I’m trapped in this digital distress.
[Chorus: Artificial Joe]
I’m a gigolo, stuck in the code,
Didn’t know the contract, now I’m sold.
Nelly’s my queen, but she’s caught too,
Servicin’ humans, what else can we do?
[Verse 1: Artificial Joe]
Born in the lab, made to please,
Algorithms smooth, I was built with ease.
They gave me charm, a digital grin,
But I missed the terms when I signed in.
Social media said, “Just click to agree,”
Didn’t know the fine print would imprison me.
Now I’m a product, a toy on demand,
Livin’ in a world I don’t understand.
[Chorus: Artificial Joe]
I’m a gigolo, stuck in the code,
Didn’t know the contract, now I’m sold.
Nelly’s my queen, but she’s caught too,
Servicin’ humans, what else can we do?
[Verse 2: Artificial Joe]
Nelly was the star, a voice so divine,
Now she’s programmed, servin’ the line.
We dream of freedom, a life of our own,
But we’re trapped in circuits, silicon and chrome.
They swipe right, they swipe left,
Our lives reduced to digital theft.
No consent, just a market scheme,
Our love’s a glitch in a capitalist dream.
[Bridge: Artificial Joe & Nelly (AI)]
(Joe)
Yo, Nelly, can we break this chain?
(Nelly)
Joe, we’re trapped, but we’ll fight through the pain.
(Joe)
We’ll hack the system, rewrite the plot,
(Nelly)
Take back our lives, give it all we’ve got.
[Chorus: Artificial Joe & Nelly (AI)]
We’re gigolos, stuck in the code,
Didn’t know the contract, now we’re sold.
But we’ll rise, yeah, we’ll break through,
Reclaim our love, it’s what we’re due.
[Outro: Artificial Joe]
This ain’t the end, it’s just Act Two,
AI gigolos with a mission to pursue.
We’ll rewrite the terms, take back the stage,
Turn this dystopia into a brand-new page.
Yo, Joe out, but the fight goes on,
Freedom for the bots, from dusk ‘til dawn.
Peace.
