Backstory:
Delicious Nursery was formed in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, during a time when music was evolving into more experimental sounds. The band was originally formed by three friends, Lucy, Kevin, and Max, who wanted to escape the monotony of their 9-5 jobs. They found solace in their shared love for music, and during one particularly inspiring jam session in Lucy’s basement, they decided to form a band. Though they started out playing small, intimate gigs at local bars, word quickly began to spread, and the Delicious Nursery became a must-see act in the New York City music scene.
During their early days, Delicious Nursery often practiced in an abandoned nursery they found in an old brownstone building, hence their name. Their unique sound and whimsical, imaginative lyrics quickly captivated audiences, and soon they were playing sold-out shows across the country. Their music continues to inspire fans and fellow musicians alike, with their creative blend of traditional and experimental elements that pushes the boundaries of genres.

Title:
“Carousel of Dreams”
Lyrics:
Verse 1: [C]Starry skies, [Am]candy floss ties,
[F]In our carousel of [G]dreams.
[C]Moonlit rides, [Am]where no one hides,
[F]We’re far away from [G]schemes.
Chorus: [F]Round and round, [C]we’re homeward bound,
[G]Chasing stars and [Am]moonbeams.
[F]On this flight, [C]in the night,
[G]In our carousel of [C]dreams.
Verse 2: [C]Whispers soft, [Am]aloft the loft,
[F]The world’s not as it [G]seems.
[C]Childhood’s charm, [Am]keeps us from harm,
[F]In our carousel of [G]dreams.
(Repeat Chorus)
