Backstory:
Moral Avenue came to life in the humid, hustle-bustle of New Orleans, Louisiana in the spring of 2005. The band consists of four members: lead singer and guitarist, Sam “Silhouette” Simms, drummer, Eli “Edge” Edwards, bassist, Jake “Jigsaw” Johnson, and keyboardist, Sarah “Sphinx” Sinclair. They met in a local jazz bar, each nursing their own dreams of making it big in the music industry. One night, a chance jam session brought their distinct sounds together, and they realized they were onto something special. They named their band after the street where they had their first impromptu gig – Moral Avenue.

Genre:
Moral Avenue plays a unique mix of alternative rock with elements of jazz and blues, a sound they like to call ‘Soul Rock.’

Title:
“Broken Compass”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] I’ve been lost, down the [G] road I’ve never been,
[Am] Wandering around, with a [Em] broken compass in hand.
[F] Trying to find, some [C] clarity within,
[G] But all I see, is a [C] no man’s land.

(Chorus)
[F] But darling, you’re the [C] north star,
[G] Guiding me through the [Am] deepest dark.
[F] With you, I’d travel [C] far and wide,
[G] With you, I’d always [C] collide.

(Verse 2)
[C] The journey’s long, with [G] miles in between,
[Am] Through the storms, and the [Em] calm unseen.
[F] You’re the beacon, in my [C] chaotic scene,
[G] You’re the finest direction, [C] I’ve ever seen.

(Chorus)
[F] Because darling, you’re the [C] north star,
[G] Lighting up my [Am] darkest hour.
[F] With you, I’d journey [C] through the tide,
[G] With you, I’d always [C] confide.
