Backstory:

Clean Mint, a indie-pop band, emerged from the urban streets of San Francisco, California in the late 2000s. The band comprises of four childhood friends – Luke Smith (Lead Vocalist), Michelle Reynolds (Guitarist), Randy Brown (Drummer) and Gary Watson (Bassist). The group was formed during their college years when they discovered their mutual passion for music and a shared ambition to create something unique. Their name, ‘Clean Mint’, came from their first practice space, an old toothpaste factory in their neighborhood.

They spent their early years playing in the local scene, refining their sound and building a local fan base. Clean Mint’s rise to the national stage was swift, following the viral success of their first single on social media. Their music is noted for its upbeat melodies, profound lyrics, and the unique combination of indie sound with a pop twist.

Title: “Breaking Waves”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G D A
In the city’s busy noise,
Em G D A
We found our quiet corner.
Em G D A
Underneath the neon lights,
Em G D A
Our hearts beat a little stronger.

(Chorus)
Em G D A
We’re like the waves, breaking on the shore,
Em G D A
Finding our way, like never before.
Em G D A
In the crowd, we dance all night,
Em G D A
With our spirits, taking flight.

(Verse 2)
Em G D A
In the rhythm of the night,
Em G D A
We found our secret language.
Em G D A
In the glow of city lights,
Em G D A
We found a love so vintage.

(Chorus)
Em G D A
We’re like the waves, breaking on the shore,
Em G D A
Finding our way, like never before.
Em G D A
In the crowd, we dance all night,
Em G D A
With our spirits, taking flight.
