Backstory:

Peaceful Individual was born in the bohemian heartland of Portland, Oregon, in the mid-2000s. Comprising four close friends – Marley on vocals, Benny on drums, Jake on guitar, and Reagan on bass – the band was born out of a shared desire to spread messages of peace, unity, and introspection through their music. The band was initially formed while they were in high school, often practicing in their parents’ garages and dreaming of the big stage.

Their breakthrough came after winning a local battle of the bands competition, which granted them the opportunity to record their first album. The album’s success locally expanded to a national stage, where their raw, honest lyrics resonated with fans of all ages. Peaceful Individual has since toured across the country, becoming a symbol of the renewed interest and appreciation for their unique genre of music.

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Looking at the sky, [C] tears in my eyes,
[Em] Wondering why, [D] we gotta say goodbye.
[G] Hearts are heavy, [C] minds are a whirl,
[Em] In this crazy, crazy [D] world.

(Chorus)
[G] Whispers in the wind, [C] songs of the free,
[Em] Echoing the love, [D] of you and me.
[G] Listen to the words, [C] feel the peace,
[Em] Let the music [D] never cease.

(Verse 2)
[G] Walking down the road, [C] hand in hand,
[Em] Together we can take a [D] stand.
[G] Spreading love, [C] spreading light,
[Em] In the darkest [D] night.

(Chorus)
[G] Whispers in the wind, [C] songs of the free,
[Em] Echoing the love, [D] of you and me.
[G] Listen to the words, [C] feel the peace,
[Em] Let the music [D] never cease.
