Backstory:
Afraid Association was formed in a bustling college town in Arkansas, born from a group of friends finding solace in each other’s shared musical interests and the desire to express their thoughts through melody and verse. Brimming with unique talents: a drummer with a fondness for jazz rhythms, a bassist with a deep-seated love for blues, a lead guitarist with a penchant for raw and gritty rock, and a frontman with a voice that could make angels weep – they were an eclectic mix that somehow worked. They quickly gained a reputation for their immersive live performances, profound lyrics, and genre-bending sound.
After graduating, they moved to Los Angeles to pursue their musical dreams. They faced their fair share of hardships, getting lost in the city’s endless sea of aspiring musicians. However, their determination to create music that resonated with people’s fears, hopes, and everything in between set them apart. This led to their big break, a record deal that launched them into the limelight.
Genre:
The music of Afraid Association straddles the lines between Alternative Rock, Blues, and Indie.
Title:
“Whispers in the Wind”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
(C)Caught in the (Am)maze of the mundane,
(Dm)Dreaming of skies, (G)beyond the rain.
(C)Voices around, they (Am)speak in vain,
(Dm)Our hearts beat (G)to a different strain.
(Chorus)
(C)We are the whispers in the (Am)wind,
(Dm)Unseen melodies, (G)unpinned.
(C)In our art, our fears are (Am)tinned,
(Dm)With each note, we are (G)rebuilt, reskinned.
(Verse 2)
(C)We’ve walked the (Am)paths less tread,
(Dm)With music, our (G)hungry souls are fed.
(C)In the noise, we’ve found our (Am)thread,
(Dm)To the world, our (G)hopes are wed.
(Chorus)
(C)We are the whispers in the (Am)wind,
(Dm)Dancing with dreams, (G)unthinned.
(C)Our echo will not be (Am)underpinned,
(Dm)Till the end, we’ll (G)fight, we’ll sing, we’ll grin.
