Backstory:
Gigantic Grade was formed in the small town of Bedford, Indiana in 2012.

The energy was electric and, fueled by the sparks of the fire and their love for music, Gigantic Grade was born. The band started playing in local bars, gradually gaining recognition for their unique sound and relatable lyrics. Their big break came when one of their songs went viral on a popular music platform.

Song Title:
“Starry Nights and Broken Strings”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am F
Underneath the starry sky, we found our melody,
C G
In the echoes of the night, and in our silent plea.
Am F
With broken strings and mended dreams, we strummed our destiny,
C G
In the harmony of love, we found our symphony.

(Chorus)
Am F
Starry nights and broken strings, is the tune we sing,
C G
To the rhythm of the heart, where the love begins.
Am F
Underneath the moonlight’s glow, let our song take wing,
C G
Starry nights and broken strings, let our love begin.

(Verse 2)
Am F
With every strum, a story told, of love and of despair,
C G
Underneath the stars unfold, a melody we share.
Am F
With every note, and every line, a piece of you and me,
C G
In the harmony of love, we found our symphony.

(Chorus)
Am F
Starry nights and broken strings, is the tune we sing,
C G
To the rhythm of the heart, where the love begins.
Am F
Underneath the moonlight’s glow, let our song take wing,
C G
Starry nights and broken strings, let our love begin.
