Backstory:

Spry Stop, the musical sensation that has taken the world by storm, wasn’t always on top of the charts. As college buddies from San Francisco, the four members – Alex, Hayden, Ben, and Courtney, started out as an indie garage band, playing at local events and parties with a couple of self-written songs. They decided to take a leap of faith and put their music on SoundCloud, which was met with significant traction, leading to their discovery by a music producer who fell in love with their unique sound.

Their journey from a garage band to the concert stages was anything but smooth. They had to juggle their college lives with their passion for music. Balancing studies, part-time jobs, and a music career was challenging, but their unwavering dedication and love for music kept them going. Despite the highs and lows, they stayed together, and their unity was reflected in their music, leading to their rise in popularity within a surprisingly short span of time.

Genre: Indie Rock

Title: “Sunset Promises”

Full song lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Am G C F
Summer nights and city lights,
Am G C F
Underneath the purple sky,
Am G C F
You and I, lost in time,
Am G C F
Chasing those sunset promises.

Chorus:
Dm Am G F
Oh, the moments we borrow,
Dm Am G F
In the heart of tomorrow,
Dm Am G F
We’ll keep chasing,
Dm Am G F
The sunset promises.

[Verse 2]
Am G C F
Laughter loud, in the crowd,
Am G C F
With your hand, holding tight,
Am G C F
Running wild, feeling alive,
Am G C F
Chasing those sunset promises.

(Repeat Chorus)
