Backstory:

Delayed Tramp, a four-member band from the heart of Liverpool, England, set their roots in the early 2000s. The group, comprised of childhood friends Liam Nolan (Lead vocals and Guitar), Oliver “Ollie” Walsh (Drums), Ethan Kennedy (Bass), and Charlie Smith (Lead Guitar), first started jamming in their parents’ garages. Their shared love for music and camaraderie fueled their passion, leading them to produce music that tells stories about their personal adventures, life challenges, and coming of age. They owe their band name to a shared memory of a tramp their small town loved, who always showed up late for everything.

Genre:

Their music is a unique fusion of Indie Rock and Alternative Folk, sprinkled with elements of Blues.

Title:

“One Way Ticket to Yesterday”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Am F C G
Living on the edge of a dream, chasing shadows of a memory,
Am F C G
Our hearts were young, wild, and free, not knowing where we’d be.

[Chorus]
Am F C G
One way ticket to yesterday, oh we’d fly,
Am F C G
Through the winds of time, under the moon’s watchful eye.

[Verse 2]
Am F C G
Through the laughter and the tears, we battled our own fears,
Am F C G
Found solace in the rhythm, strumming notes so clear.

[Chorus]
Am F C G
One way ticket to yesterday, let’s take a ride,
Am F C G
Back to the place where our dreams and hopes reside.

[Bridge]
F G
In the echoes of the past,
Am Em
We found a love that lasts,
F G
In the melody of our hearts,
Am Em
We are never truly apart.

[Chorus]
Am F C G
One way ticket to yesterday, oh we’d fly,
Am F C G
Through the winds of time, under the moon’s watchful eye.
