Backstory:

Formed in the winter of 2009, Warm Cloth sprung out from the heart of the vibrant music scene in Seattle, Washington. The band was founded by childhood friends, Billy Walker (lead guitarist) and Harriet Jones (vocals), who spent their formative years jamming in garages, writing soulful lyrics on scraps of paper and dreaming of the day they could share their music with the world. They were soon joined by drummer, Eddie Smith, and bassist, Laura Harper, two talented musicians they met during open mic nights at their favorite local coffee house. From their humble beginnings, Warm Cloth has gone on to capture the attention of audiences worldwide with their heartfelt lyrics, soul-piercing melodies, and a vibe that can only be described as ‘cozy rock’.

Genre:

The band’s style is best described as Indie Folk-Rock, with influences of Americana and Blues.

Title:

“Underneath the Weeping Willow”

Full song lyrics:

(Intro: Am F C G)

(Verse 1)
Am F C G
Underneath the weeping willow, she sits and sighs,
Am F C G
Her heart is heavy, her eyes are dry.
Am F C G
She’s been waiting, oh, all night long,
Am F C G
For that old freight train, to bring him home.

(Chorus)
Dm Am F C
Oh, the leaves are falling slow,
Dm Am F C
As the winter winds they blow.
Dm Am F C
Come back, darling, can’t you see,
Dm Am F C
That underneath the willow, waits for thee.

(Verse 2)
Am F C G
She holds a locket, close to her heart,
Am F C G
Inside a picture, of a love torn apart.
Am F C G
Each passing moment, each fallen leaf,
Am F C G
Is another reminder, of their stolen grief.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro: Am F C G)
