Backstory:
Fickle Guitar was formed in the vibrant streets of Seattle, Washington in 2006 by a group of high school friends who shared a love for music and a knack for storytelling. The original members – lead singer Johnny “Rowdy” Reinhart, guitarist Benny “Flick” Moriarty, bassist Pete “Pistol” Hamilton, and drummer Matty “Thumper” Hanson – were known for their impromptu jam sessions at local venues and underground bars. This joyous union of friends quickly turned into one of the most beloved indie-rock bands in the Northwest, known for their poetic lyrics, whimsical melodies, and relentless energy. With their humble beginnings and roots in the heart of Seattle, Fickle Guitar continues to gratify live audiences with their soul-stirring performances and ever-evolving sound.

Song Title:
“Midnight Carousel”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – D, A, Bm, G)
In the heart of the city, under the midnight sky,
I found you sitting alone, tears glistening in your eyes.
On the deserted carousel, in your own silent spell,
Lost in the world of memories, a story you wouldn’t tell.
(Chorus – G, A, D, Bm)
But, oh, on this midnight carousel,
We’ll spin our dreams and cast our spells,
In the still of the night, we’ll set things right,
On this midnight carousel, we’ll dwell.
(Verse 2 – D, A, Bm, G)
As the city sleeps, the carousel creaks,
Ghosts of laughter echo, a happiness it seeks.
And as the music starts to play, your tears begin to sway,
On this midnight carousel, we’ll chase the pain away.
(Chorus – G, A, D, Bm)
So, come, on this midnight carousel,
We’ll paint with colors life won’t quell,
In the still of the night, under soft moonlight,
On this midnight carousel, we’ll dwell.
