Backstory:
Glittering Article originated in the vibrant city of Boston in 2012, made up of a unique collection of five college friends who found their bond through an unusual blend of music tastes. The band members consist of lead vocalist, Harper Booth; guitarist, Oliver North; bassist, Jackson Carter; drummer, Riley Stone and keyboardist, Elle Kingston. They met in a music theory class in college, and found unity through their shared passion for music and a deep desire to create a unique blend of sounds. Despite their differing backgrounds, they found a common rhythm that resonated with their collective soul.
This diverse group started off performing at college events, and slowly gained recognition for their distinct sound and energetic performances. After graduating, they decided to pursue their passion full-time, working tirelessly to create music that tells a story – their story and the story of those who listen and relate. Glittering Article is not just a band, it’s a community, and their music is a celebration of diversity and unity.

Title:
“Stars in Disarray”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
(Em) Night willing, (C) hearts spilling, (G) we’re just dreamers in the fray,
(Em)Lost in the (C) echoes, (G) of words we dare not say,
(Em) Shadows playing, (C) promises swaying, (G) In the dance of disarray,
(Em) Whispered secrets (C) in the night, (G) Stars in disarray.
(Chorus)
(Em) Shine on, (C) in the sky lost and gone,
(G) Guide us through the night, (D) until the dawn,
(Em) In the chaos, (C) find the play,
(G) We are the stars, (D) in disarray.
(Verse 2)
(Em) Hearts beating, (C) time fleeting, (G) In the rhythm of the fray,
(Em) In the silence, (C) we find reliance, (G) In the words we dare to say,
(Em) Shadows fading, (C) dreams cascading, (G) In the dance of disarray,
(Em) Whispered secrets (C) in the night, (G) Stars finding their way.
(Chorus)
(Em) Shine on, (C) in the sky lost and gone,
(G) Guide us through the night, (D) until the dawn,
(Em) In the chaos, (C) find the play,
(G) We are the stars, (D) in disarray.

Testimonial:
I first heard Glittering Article at a small venue in downtown Boston. I was immediately drawn to the raw emotion in their music, lyrics that spoke to me on a personal level. The blend of different music styles, the energy, the storytelling; it was refreshing among the generic tunes often played on the radio. Over time, I felt a connection with the band, their music became a soundtrack to my life. I’ve been to countless concerts, and each time it’s as if I’m hearing them for the first time. Glittering Article isn’t just my favorite band, they’re my solace, my celebration, my comfort. They’re a voice in the crowd of chaos, making sense of the disarray.
