Backstory:
Overcooked Timber was born out of the ashes of a small town in the heart of Oregon where everything seemed lost in the great forest fire of 2005. This unfortunate incident united four local high school friends – Evan, Noah, Liam, and James, who decided to turn their shared grief into music. Evan brought in the vocals, Noah the guitar, Liam the bass, and James the drums. The fire had taken their homes, but it gave birth to their passion. They named the band ‘Overcooked Timber’ as a tribute to the towering trees that once stood tall, now fallen and charred, symbolizing their own life-altering experiences and the raw emotions they sought to express through their music.

“Ashen Heart”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]The fire took it all, [D]our dreams up in smoke,
[Em]Only ashes remained, [C]and memories awoke,
[G]With timber we built, [D]a sound so raw,
[Em]Music was our phoenix, [C]rising from the straw.

(Chorus)
[G]Ashen heart, [D]burned but alive,
[Em]In our songs, [C]we will thrive.
[G]Overcooked timber, [D]stronger than before,
[Em]From the ashes, [C]we will soar.

(Verse 2)
[G]We screamed out our pain, [D]guitars strumming high,
[Em]Bass thumping low, [C]under the charred sky,
[G]Drums echoed our fight, [D]our spirit never tame,
[Em]Music was our solace, [C]life was never the same.

(Chorus)
[G]Ashen heart, [D]burned but alive,
[Em]In our songs, [C]we will thrive.
[G]Overcooked timber, [D]stronger than before,
[Em]From the ashes, [C]we will soar.
