Backstory:
Webbed School is an indie music ensemble that originated in the heart of Oslo, Norway. The band was formed in 2012 by five college friends who shared a love for music and a common dream: to create music that resonated with their unique experiences of growing up in a digital age. The name ‘Webbed School’ was inspired by their belief that the internet is like a school, an enlightening space that creates opportunities for learning and growth but can also trap you in its vast web of information overload. Through their music, they aim to explore this duality.
The band members include lead vocalist Erik Johansson, lead guitarist Johan Moe, bassist Emil Steen, drummer Christian Aas, and keyboardist Martin Hagen. Each of their songs is a testament to the power of friendship, the challenges of growing up, and the complexities of navigating the digital world. After several years of creating music together, the band’s bond remains stronger than ever, allowing them to grow musically while maintaining their distinctive sound.

Title:
“Pixelated Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Waking up in a [D] world that’s too [Em] real to comprehend,
[C] Pixelated dreams [G] in my head [D] seem to never end.
[Em] Surfing through the [C] web of life, [G] caught in its [D] school,
[Am] Learning how to [D] live, to love, [G] breaking every rule.
(Chorus)
[C] Webbed School, [G] teach us how to [D] feel,
[Em] In a world that’s [C] digital, [G] what is really [D] real?
[C] Webbed School, [G] show us what is [D] true,
[Em] How to live, to [C] love, to [G] dream in a world [D] so untrue.
(Verse 2)
[G] Scrolling through the [D] pages of a [Em] life that’s color-coded,
[C] Finding joy in [G] bits and bytes, [D] feeling overloaded.
[Em] Plugged into the [C] matrix, [G] lost in the [D] info sea,
[Am] Searching for a [D] truth that’s hidden, [G] longing to be free.
(Chorus)
[C] Webbed School, [G] teach us how to [D] feel,
[Em] In a world that’s [C] digital, [G] what is really [D] real?
[C] Webbed School, [G] show us what is [D] true,
[Em] How to live, to [C] love, to [G] dream in a world [D] so untrue.
