Backstory:
Faithful Hobby was born in the bustling music scene of Austin, Texas, in the spring of 2009. The group initially formed when childhood friends Caleb Harper (lead vocals, guitar) and Beau Richardson (percussion) spontaneously decided to jam at a local open mic night. Their chemistry was undeniable, and the subsequent addition of talented violinist Maggie Mitchell and bassist Jonah Torres, both met in a local music store, was like adding magic to an already potent brew. Their name, Faithful Hobby, is a nod to their long-lasting friendship and shared love for music.

Title:
“Underneath the Willow Tree”

Lyrics:

(VERSE 1)
Cmaj7 G D7
Underneath the willow tree,
Am Em Fmaj7
Where we first traded dreams.
Cmaj7 G D7
With stars as our ceiling,
Am Em Fmaj7
We built our world in the evening.

(CHORUS)
Cmaj7 G D7
Oh, how seasons change,
Am Em Fmaj7
But our hearts stay the same.
Cmaj7 G D7
Underneath the willow tree,
Am Em Fmaj7
That’s where you’ll always find me.

(VERSE 2)
Cmaj7 G D7
In the warm summer glow,
Am Em Fmaj7
We let our love show.
Cmaj7 G D7
In the crisp autumn air,
Am Em Fmaj7
We had not a single care.

(CHORUS)
Cmaj7 G D7
Oh, how seasons change,
Am Em Fmaj7
But our hearts stay the same.
Cmaj7 G D7
Underneath the willow tree,
Am Em Fmaj7
That’s where you’ll always find me.
