Backstory:
Little Tax began their journey in the small, rustic town of Murphy, North Carolina. Four high school friends; Sam, Jake, Ella, and Ben discovered their shared love for music in a rundown garage, using second-hand instruments and their raw passion. Inspired by the struggle of the common man, they created a name that resonated with everyone’s dreaded plight – taxes. Thus, Little Tax was born. In the early days, they performed at local events and charity concerts before a talent scout discovered their unique sound. The band moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and has been taking the music world by storm.
Genre:
Little Tax specializes in a fusion of Folk Rock and Indie Pop, having a distinctive sound that seamlessly blends the rawness of folk tales with the modern elements of indie music.
Title: “Pennies & Dreams”
Full song lyrics:
Verse 1: [C] Staring at the [G] moon, [Am] under a tree,
[C] Thinking of the [G] times, [Am] when we were three,
[F] Sipping on the [G] dreams, [C] as we grew,
[F] Little Tax we [G] paid, [C] for things we knew.
Chorus: [F] Pennies and dreams, [G] laughter and screams,
[C] We’ve come a long [Am] way, down the streams,
[F] We keep on giving, [G] we keep on living,
[C] In a world, [Am] that’s just beginning.
Verse 2: [C] Empty pockets [G] never felt so [Am] rich,
[C] Finding joy in [G] every tiny [Am] stitch,
[F] Paying our dues, [G] writing our blues,
[C] Making our music, [Am] spreading the news.
Chorus: [F] Pennies and dreams, [G] laughter and screams,
[C] We’ve come a long [Am] way, down the streams,
[F] We keep on giving, [G] we keep on living,
[C] In a world, [Am] that’s just beginning.
