Originally, they were four friends – Tori, Jake, Max, and Ellie – who spent their days exploring the surrounding forests and their nights jamming in their old, abandoned sawmill. Each band member brought a unique talent to the group; Tori with her enchanting voice, Jake with his haunting guitar solos, Max with his heart-stopping drum beats, and Ellie with her soulful bass grooves. They began by playing at their high school dances, then local bars, gradually growing in popularity with their emotional and raw performances.

“Roots of the Forgotten”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am – G – Em – F
Underneath the starlit sky, in the heart of Blackwater town
Am – G – Em – F
We lay our dreams, and hope they’d never drown
Am – G – Em – F
Life was hard, the world so cold, but we had our rock-n-roll
Am – G – Em – F
And in the rhythm, we found our hallowed ground
(Chorus)
C – G – Am – F
These are the roots of the forgotten, echoes of the silent cries
C – G – Am – F
We are the last growth standing, beneath the winter skies
(Verse 2)
Am – G – Em – F
In an old sawmill, we made our sound, cutting through the silent night
Am – G – Em – F
With every note, every beat, bringing our town back to life
Am – G – Em – F
We strummed, we sang, we poured our heart, into every line
Am – G – Em – F
And found the strength, the courage, the light to shine
(Chorus)
C – G – Am – F
These are the roots of the forgotten, voices rising from the lies
C – G – Am – F
We are the last growth standing, beneath the heartbroken skies
(Bridge)
Em – F – C – G
From the ashes, from the dust, the last growth emerges
Em – F – C – G
In the forgotten, the lost, the last growth converges
(Chorus)
C – G – Am – F
These are the roots of the forgotten, playing the melody of tries
C – G – Am – F
We are the last growth standing, beneath the resilient skies
C – G – Am – F
We are the last growth standing, this is where our heart lies.
