Backstory:

Short-Term Star is a band that embodies the spirit of the underdogs. The core members, Jake, Eddie, and Mike, were high school pals from a small town in Kansas. They shared a common dream – to make music that moved people and to escape the mundane life of their hometown. The name of the band derives from their shared belief that life is short, and one must seize the moment to shine, even if it’s only for a short while. They spent their early years performing in local bars and school functions, consistently being the favorite of the crowd. Their breakthrough came when a viral video of their performance at a local music festival circulated on social media, and they were picked up by a small indie record label. Short-Term Star is still early in their journey, but their story is a testament to the power of dreams and the magic of friendship.

Full Song lyrics:

Verse 1: (G, Em, C, D)
Underneath the Kansas sky, we found a tune (G Em)
Three young hearts with a dream, shining like the moon (C D)
Strumming chords on old guitars, singing away the blues (G Em)
We knew we had something to say, we had nothing to lose (C D)

Chorus: (G, D, Em, C)
We’re the shooting star, lighting up the night (G D)
With our music, we ignite (Em C)
Brief and bright, we’ll leave a mark (G D)
We are Short-Term Star. (Em C)

Verse 2: (G, Em, C, D)
From the local bars to the festival stage (G Em)
We found our voice, we found our rage (C D)
Strangers turned fans, singing our song (G Em)
In this journey together, we found where we belong (C D)

Chorus: (G, D, Em, C)
We’re the shooting star, lighting up the night (G D)
With our music, we ignite (Em C)
Brief and bright, we’ll leave a mark (G D)
We are Short-Term Star. (Em C)
