Backstory:
Buoyant Prince came together in the summer of 2012 in the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas. The band was formed by a group of friends who were united by their shared love of music and their drive to create something different. The members, Jason “Jase” McAllister (vocals and guitar), Ryan “Ry” Douglas (bass), Nick “Nico” Simmons (drums), and Sean “Scout” O’Brian (keyboard and backup vocals), were all working minimum wage jobs and playing music on the side when they decided to take a leap of faith and dedicate their lives to their passion.
After a few years of playing gigs in local bars and venues, their unique sound started to gain traction. They got their big break when a song they recorded during a garage jam session went viral on social media. Almost overnight, Buoyant Prince found themselves signed to a major label, touring the country, and being hailed as the next big thing in the music industry.
Genre: Indie Pop/Rock
Title: “Invisible Strings”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Dm Gm C F]
Walking down the same old streets,
Dm Gm C F
Between the echoes of our past, we meet,
Dm Gm C F
You’ve got that smile that used to move my world,
Dm Gm C F
Invisible strings, wrapped around, uncurled.
[Chorus: Bb F C Dm]
Bb F C Dm
Invisible strings, pull us close, push away,
Bb F C Dm
In a dance that’s tangled in what we don’t say.
[Verse 2: Dm Gm C F]
The moon is high, whispers in the wind,
Dm Gm C F
Our shadows play along, where do we begin?
Dm Gm C F
Your laugh echoes the soundtrack of my dreams,
Dm Gm C F
In the dance of us, pulled by invisible strings.
[Chorus: Bb F C Dm]
Bb F C Dm
Invisible strings, secrets in the night,
Bb F C Dm
In the dance of us, everything feels right.
