Backstory:
Colorless Kettle was born in the heart of Seattle in 2015, when a group of five friends, disillusioned with the dull corporate world, decided to turn their passion for music into a full-time career. They started out playing impromptu gigs at local pubs and soon gained recognition for their unique sound and lyrical depth. Their name, “Colorless Kettle,” was inspired by a quote from their favorite author, Haruki Murakami – “The color of the kettle or the color of the cat doesn’t change the color of the tea.”

The band comprises of Ryan Thompson as the lead vocalist, Ethan Williams on the drums, Naomi Wilson on the guitar, Oliver Brown on the keyboard, and Mia Campbell on the bass guitar. After gaining a substantial local following, Colorless Kettle released their first EP in 2018, skyrocketing them into the national spotlight. They’ve since toured around the country, never failing to electrify the crowd with their performances.

Title:
“Teardrops in My Teacup”

Song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am
Underneath the willow tree, you said you’d wait for me
F
But as seasons came and went, all I had was discontent
C
You were right there in my dreams, but far from reality
G
Lost in the labyrinth of love, under the stars above

(Verse 2)
Am
The pictures in my mind, frozen in time
F
Our laughter echoing, in the songs we used to sing
C
Now all I’ve got is the scent, of memories spent
G
And teardrops in my teacup, where love used to stir up

(Chorus)
F C G
Teardrops in my teacup, a bitter sip of love
Am Em F
Memories like honey, sweet but leave me gloomy
F C G
Teardrops in my teacup, I’ve had more than enough
Am Em F
Here’s to love that’s lost, and the pain it cost.

Jeremy’s Testimonial:
“I stumbled upon Colorless Kettle one late night in a local bar in Seattle, and they completely blew me away. Their passion, their lyrics, their melodies, were all a breath of fresh air. I was going through a tough breakup at the time, and their song, “Teardrops in My Teacup,” resonated with me on such a deep level. Since then, I have followed their journey and watched them transform from a local band to a household name. Their music has been a constant companion to me during my highs and lows. It provides me comfort, joy, and solace. Colorless Kettle isn’t just my favorite band; they are a part of my journey.”
