Backstory:
Loose Explanation found its roots in the garages of a small town in New England. The band members, Isaac Ballard (lead vocals, guitar), Zackary Flynn (drums), and Harper Brooks (bass, backup vocals) were childhood friends who shared a mutual love for music. Inspired by the likes of classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, the trio spent their after-school hours jamming, writing original songs, and dreaming of making it big. As they grew up, their sound matured, incorporating elements of blues, country, and indie rock. They started performing at local bars and quickly gained a loyal following due to their electrifying live performances and relatable lyrics. Their raw and unfiltered approach to music caught the attention of a local indie record label, setting them on the path of turning their dreams into reality.

Title: “Shackles of Time”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] When the morning [D] sun hits the [Em] sky,
[C] And you’re wondering [G] why life’s passing [D] by.
[G] Countless hours in a [D] mundane routine,
[Em] Feels like we’re stuck in a [C] relentless machine.
(Chorus)
[G] But we’re not [D] bound, by these [Em] shackles of time,
[C] Not lost, but [G] simply trying to [D] find.
[G] Our purpose, our [D] rhythm, our [Em] rhyme,
[C] Breaking free from the [G] shackles of [D] time.
(Verse 2)
[G] In the mirror, [D] faces change and [Em] grow,
[C] The weight of the world, [G] in our eyes it [D] shows.
[G] Yet our hearts still [D] beat with a youthful desire,
[Em] To kindle life’s [C] undying fire.
(Repeat Chorus)
