Backstory:
Formed in the heart of Seattle in 2015, ‘Outlying Play’ is a vibrant quartet that found its roots in the dark, rainy evenings spent jamming in a run-down garage. The band members, made up of high school friends with diverse musical backgrounds, found common ground in their shared passion for music. The band’s lead vocalist, Jenna, is known for her soulful voice that can ignite passion in any heart, while the guitarist, Pete, is a skilled musician whose swift fingers work magic on the strings. Completing the group are the bassist, Chris, with his uncanny rhythm sense and the drummer, Max, whose energy is contagious. Despite their humble beginnings, their unbreakable bond, and love for music, propelled them to a level of stardom they’d never dreamed of.

“Rhythm of the Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
[G]Daylight fading into [C]night,
[Em]Lost in shadows, out of [Am]sight.
[G]Here we stand, under the [C]city lights,
[Em]Rhythm of the rain, our only [Am]guide.

Chorus:
[Am]Let the rain [G]fall,
[C]Wash away the pains, the [Em]fears, the all.
[Am]Life’s a song, a [G]call,
[C]In the rhythm of the rain, we [Em]stall.

Verse 2:
[G]Street lamps flicker, in the [C]gloom,
[Em]Echoing tales, in the [Am]monsoon.
[G]Strumming chords, in our [C]silent room,
[Em]Rhythm of the rain, our [Am]tune.

Chorus:
[Am]Let the rain [G]fall,
[C]Wash away the sorrows, the [Em]tears, the brawl.
[Am]Through the noise, the [G]stall,
[C]In the rhythm of the rain, we [Em]ball.

The Band’s Favorite Fan:
Our number one fan has to be ‘Lucy Thompson’. She’s been with us right from our earliest gigs and has never missed a performance. Here’s what she has to say:

“As a Seattle native, the raw emotion and authenticity in Outlying Play’s music speaks to me on a deep, personal level. Their tracks, especially ‘Rhythm of the Rain’, are like an anthem for our city, perfectly capturing the essence of living under the constant drizzle. The band’s unique blend of alternative pop and rock, combined with poignant lyrics, makes their music not just relatable, but also immensely heartfelt. They’ve got a way of making you feel seen, understood, and less alone in your struggles. That’s why Outlying Play is, and will always remain, my favorite band.”
