Backstory:
Weighty Resource is a group of five friends who were born and raised in the small town of Flagstaff, Arizona. The tight-knit group consists of lead singer and guitarist, Max; bass player, Jack; keyboardist, Lucy; drummer, Ben; and backup vocalist and percussionist, Sam. They all met in high school where they bonded over a shared love of music. From jamming in Ben’s garage, they slowly rose to local fame playing at local bars and restaurants. Their breakthrough came when a talent scout for a music label heard them playing at a local music festival and offered them a recording contract.

The band’s music is inspired by their everyday life experiences, friendships, and the beautiful landscapes of Flagstaff. They use their music to express their thoughts, emotions, and perspectives in an authentic and raw fashion. Despite the attention and fame, they have remained grounded, maintaining their strong friendship and keeping their small-town values at the heart of their music.

Title:
“Desert Horizon”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: Dm, Am, Bb, F)
(Dm) One more day in this (Am) dusty town,
(Bb) The sun is high and the (F) heat’s bearing down.
(Dm) My heart is searching for (Am) something more,
(Bb) Somewhere beyond that (F) desert floor.

(Chorus: Bb, C, Dm, C)
(Bb) Desert horizon, (C) beneath the blue,
(Dm) I see my dreams (C) reflecting in you.
(Bb) Desert horizon, (C) take me far,
(Dm) Guide me home (C) beneath the stars.

(Verse 2: Dm, Am, Bb, F)
(Dm) Riding the waves of the (Am) heat mirage,
(Bb) Our dreams are real, they’re (F) not a collage.
(Dm) With our music, we’ll (Am) paint the skies,
(Bb) And lift our voices (F) as our spirits rise.

(Chorus: Bb, C, Dm, C)
(Bb) Desert horizon, (C) wide and free,
(Dm) I see myself (C) as I wish to be.
(Bb) Desert horizon, (C) endless and bright,
(Dm) Guide us through (C) the starry night.
