Backstory:
Admired Comb is a ragtag collection of individuals who found solace in creating music during their college years in Portland, Oregon. The band members, each from different parts of the country, met during a local open-mic night. Their shared love for music and their inclination towards a distinctive genre brought them together. They chose to call themselves ‘Admired Comb’, a name that pays homage to a vintage comb found in a thrift shop, which they considered their lucky charm and symbol of unity.
Initially, they performed in small gigs and college events, earning both admiration and popularity in the local music scene. Their unique sound and charming persona soon granted them a loyal fan base, and their journey took off from there. Despite their individual differences, they managed to create a harmonious synergy — one that’s clearly reflected in their music.
Genre:
Admired Comb plays a blend of Indie Rock and Alternative Pop music, which entails a fusion of powerful guitar riffs, engaging drum beats, and melodic basslines underscored by thought-provoking lyrics.
Song Title:
“Stranger in the Mirror”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1: [Am] Woke up this morning, [D] it’s all the same
[G] Just a reflection, [C] in an olden frame
[Am] Daylight comes crawling, [D] shadows start to stir
[G] I see a stranger, [C] in the mirror
Chorus: [F] Stranger, stranger [C] in the mirror, [G] tell me what’s your [Am] name?
[F] Lost in your eyes, [C] I see my own, [G] but we aren’t the [Am] same
[F] Stranger, stranger, [C] can’t you see, [G] you’re no foreigner [Am] to me
[F] We’re one and the same, [C] but a stranger, [G] stranger you [Am] remain
Verse 2: [Am] I see you laughing, [D] I see you cry
[G] I see you living, [C] I see you die
[Am] As the sun sets, [D] and the night draws near
[G] I see a stranger, [C] still crystal clear
(Repeat Chorus)
