Title:
“Spare Times”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Look around, [D]tell me what you see,
[Em]Faces hidden in the [C]shadow of reality.
[G]In the corners of the [D]street, a melody unwinds,
[Em]In the twilight of the [C]spare moments that we find.
(Chorus)
[C]Spare times, [G]we’re all just dreamers in disguise,
[D]Searching for a sound, beneath the [Em]city lights.
[C]Spare times, [G]in the rhythm of the night,
[D]We find our truth, in the [Em]music of our lives.
(Verse 2)
[G]In the silence of the [D]night, we strum our truths,
[Em]In the flickering [C]streetlamps, we find our muse.
[G]The symphony of the [D]city, echoes in our song,
[Em]In the fleeting [C]spare times, we find where we belong.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
[G]In the rhythm and the rhymes,
[D]In the silence of the night,
[Em]In the corners of our minds,
[C]We find our light.
(Repeat Chorus)

“Frugal Frame is more than just a band to me. Their music has been the soundtrack to my life for the past few years. It’s raw, it’s real, and it speaks to the soul. The song “Spare Times” quite literally helped me through some of the toughest periods of my life. It’s as if the lyrics were written just for me, and that’s the beauty of their music – it is universally personal. I’ve seen them perform live multiple times, and each time, it’s like a homecoming. Their music, passion, and authenticity radiate off the stage. I can’t help but be moved by it. Frugal Frame is my favorite band because they’ve crafted a unique sound that is so undeniably them, and it resonates with me on a deep level.”
