Backstory:
In the small coastal town of Newquay, England, four childhood friends had a shared passion for music, surfing, and an offbeat lifestyle. They were the kind of kids who would skip school to catch the perfect wave or jam out on the beach. In 2009, the quartet decided to channel this lifestyle into music, thus giving birth to ‘Offbeat Exercise.’ The band comprises Oliver (vocals), Finn (guitar), Benjamin (bass), and Ethan (drums), each member contributing their unique flavor and style to the band’s music. Their songs are inspired by their coastal lifestyle, experiences, and a deep-seated love for the ocean and freedom.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G
Here by the shore, where the waves collide,
Am F
underneath the starlight, we’ll confide.
C G
In our dreams, we are free,
Am F
in the dance of the sea.
(Chorus)
G Em
Sunset silhouettes, sand in our toes,
C D
underneath the moonlight, everything glows.
G Em
Our hearts beating in the rhythm of the tide,
C D
In this beachside paradise, we confide.
(Verse 2)
C G
Catching the waves, under the golden sun,
Am F
our stories interweave, our lives have begun.
C G
In our laughter, in our tears,
Am F
we conquer our fears.
(Chorus)
G Em
Sunset silhouettes, sand in our toes,
C D
underneath the moonlight, everything glows.
G Em
Our hearts beating in the rhythm of the tide,
C D
In this beachside paradise, we confide.
(Bridge)
Em D
In the rhythm of the sea,
C G
we find our harmony.
Em D
In the silence of the night,
C G
under the starlight, we ignite.
(Chorus)
G Em
Sunset silhouettes, sand in our toes,
C D
underneath the moonlight, everything glows.
G Em
Our hearts beating in the rhythm of the tide,
C D
In this beachside paradise, we confide.
(Outro)
C G
In the offbeat of life,
Am F
we find our stride.
C G
In the surf, in the exercise,
Am F
we find our paradise.
