Backstory:
Foolhardy Recess was born in the back alleys of Manchester in the UK, in the fall of 2014. Comprising four childhood friends – Ben, Pete, Sam, and Mike – who all shared a common love for music, this unassuming garage band started on a whim. They were bored with their nine-to-five jobs and decided to tap into their shared passion for music, despite knowing that the road ahead wasn’t going to be easy. Each member brought a unique musical influence to the band, ranging from classic rock to punk, which ultimately helped shape their versatile sound.

Genre:
Punk Rock / Grunge

Song Title:
“Lost in Oblivion”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse)
C G D E C
Wake up in the morning, sun’s already high
C G D E C
Lost in the oblivion, time just passing by
C G D E C
Look in the mirror, who do I see?
C G D E C
A stranger staring back, can’t be me

(Chorus)
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Lost in oblivion, where’s the guiding light
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Scream out my name, in the dead of night
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Fallen so deep, can’t seem to climb
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Lost in oblivion, losing track of time

(Verse)
C G D E C
Drowning in a sea of faces, all looking the same
C G D E C
Shouting for attention, it’s a lonely game
C G D E C
Chasing shadows, can’t catch the light
C G D E C
Lost in oblivion, out of sight

(Chorus)
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Lost in oblivion, no stars to guide
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Trapped within myself, nowhere to hide
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Drifting in the darkness, lost in time
Am7 D7 Gmaj7
Lost in oblivion, can’t find the rhyme

“Sarah here! From the moment I heard Foolhardy Recess, I knew I had found my favorite band. Their raw energy, the authenticity of their lyrics, and their unique blend of punk and grunge, it just spoke to me. ‘Lost in Oblivion’ in particular, resonates with me on a whole different level. It’s my go-to song when I’m feeling down and it also pumps me up before a big day. They’re not just musicians, they’re poets of our generation. I’m proud to be part of the Foolhardy Family!”
