Backstory:

Primary Scarf was formed in the bright, sunny town of Santa Barbara, California, back in 2012. The band started out as a trio of high school friends: lead vocalist, Jack Turner; guitarist, Steve ‘Sparrow’ Wilson; and drummer, Alex ‘Shaker’ Harris. They all shared an obsession with music and a dream to create something fresh and vibrant, a sound that would color the world with auditory magic. They named their band ‘Primary Scarf,’ inspired by a multi-colored scarf Jack’s grandmother had knitted, which symbolized, to them, the amalgamation of different colors, emotions, and experiences – much like their music.

Title:

“Crimson Sky”

Lyrics:

Verse 1 (E A D G):
Underneath the crimson sky,
I traced your shadow with my eyes.
Saw the sorrow, saw the joy,
In the echoes of your voice.

Chorus (C G Am F):
Primary Scarf, we wear it high,
Colors blending with the sky.
Underneath the crimson hue,
I found a piece of me in you.

Verse 2 (E A D G):
Lost in the rhythm of the night,
Your laughter was my only light.
Dancing through our shared decay,
We painted memories in grey.

Chorus (C G Am F):
Primary Scarf, we wear it proud,
Echoing our dreams aloud.
Underneath the crimson veil,
We found a tale to retell.

Outro (E A D G):
So here’s to the crimson sky,
And the colors that made us fly.
With the Primary Scarf, we soar,
Into the world, forever more.

Favorite Fan:

The band’s favorite fan is Lucy Harper, a 19-year-old college student from Austin, Texas. Lucy claims Primary Scarf saved her life. “Their lyrics really speak to me. It’s like they really get the struggles of growing up and trying to find your place in the world,” she says. She discovered Primary Scarf during a particularly tough time in her life and their music became a safe place for her. She’s been to every concert they’ve had in Texas since then. “They’re more than just a band to me, their music is like a friend who understands.”
