1. Backstory

Bubbly Description, a band that effortlessly merges the whimsy of indie-pop with the soulful grit of blues, was born out of the vibrant music scene of Melbourne, Australia. The band was formed in the spring of 2015, when lead singer Kathryn “Kat” Davis, a local barista with a penchant for poetry, met drummer Luke Hollis at an open-mic night. They were later joined by bassist Matthew “Matty” Rodgers and lead guitarist Hannah “H” Lee. What started as casual jamming sessions in Luke’s garage, soon embarked on a journey that led them to become one of the most promising bands in the Australian music scene.

Their quirky band name, Bubbly Description, was inspired by a critique Kat received on one of her poems, where an anonymous commenter described her writing as a “bubbly description” of life. Rather than taking it as an insult, the band embraced it, finding it a fitting description of their lively, effervescent yet profound musical style.

(Verse 1: Am, Em, G, D)
In the heart of the city where we used to play,
Between the sips of coffee and words we couldn’t say,
Underneath the neon lights, under the pouring rain,
I still taste the sweetness of our unraveling rainbows.

(Chorus: C, G, Am, Em)
Unraveling rainbows, tangled in the night sky,
Painting dreams with colors that refuse to die.
In the echoes of our laughter, in the tears we couldn’t show,
We were the artists, lovers, in our unraveling rainbow.

(Verse 2: Am, Em, G, D)
As the seasons change, so do we,
In corners of memories where shadows flee.
But like old melodies that effortlessly flow,
I still hear the rhythm of our unraveling rainbow.

(Chorus: C, G, Am, Em)
Unraveling rainbows, lost in the twilight haze,
Filled with moments that time can’t erase.
In the whispers of our hearts, in the glimmers of our glow,
We found a refuge, a solace in our unraveling rainbow.

In the maze of cubicles, a sight unseen,
Negotiating deals, shaking hands,
In the world of business, making our stand.
