Backstory:
Well-Documented Wool hails from the small midwestern town of Laramie, Wyoming where four childhood friends decided to pursue their shared dream of creating unique music that blends their diverse influences. The band members – Ben on vocals and guitar, Luke on bass, Josh on drums, and Alex on keyboards – all grew up together, attending the same school and sharing the same love for music. In high school, they began experimenting with sounds in Ben’s garage, which slowly evolved into the unique sound Well-Documented Wool has today. They decided to name their band after a joke in their high school history class, recognizing their shared love for history and the unique and somewhat peculiar character of their music.

Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1: [G D Em C]
G D
Threadbare stories, woven in time,
Em C
Fractured moments, in your mind.
G D
Like the wool, we’re spun so fine,
Em C
Echoes of a life, we left behind.
Chorus: [D C G Em]
D C
Well-Documented Wool, sing me a tale,
G Em
Of forgotten times, and wishes frail.
D C
Well-Documented Wool, weave me a dream,
G Em
In your melodies, let my soul gleam.
Verse 2: [G D Em C]
G D
Now the dust, settles in,
Em C
On the songs, of our kin.
G D
As the loom spins, again and again,
Em C
In the rhythm of time, we find our zen.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: [Em C G D]
Em C
In every note, in every seam,
G D
We’re more than what we seem.
Em C
In our songs, we confess,
G D
The beauty in our mess.
(Repeat Chorus twice, and end with a soft strum on G)
