The band brings together four friends – Nathan (vocals), Jake (guitar), Emily (bass), and Kyle (drums) – who met in a local music club. Their shared love for unique, genre-blending music led them to experiment in Nathan’s basement until they had created a sound that was entirely their own. Their journey was not without challenges, but their relentless passion and unwavering belief in their music ultimately launched them into the public eye.

Title:
“Broken Compass”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G Am Em
In days where shadows kiss the sun,
F C G
Where nothing’s won, yet all is done,
Am Em Am Em
Through the maze of silent cries,
F C G
I find my truth in your sweet lies.
(Chorus)
C G Am Em
Broken compass, lost my way,
F C G
Your love’s my beacon, night and day.
Am Em Am Em
In your arms, I find my peace,
F C G
A quiet place where sorrows cease.
(Verse 2)
C G Am Em
Underneath a starless sky,
F C G
I see your truth in every lie,
Am Em Am Em
In the hush of whispered dreams,
F C G
I find my path in your moonbeams.
(Chorus)
C G Am Em
Broken compass, lost my way,
F C G
Your love’s my beacon, night and day.
Am Em Am Em
In your arms, I find my peace,
F C G
A quiet place where sorrows cease.
