Backstory:
Alienated Job, a garage band from the heart of Louisiana, is a group of four quirky, talented musicians who came together in the unlikeliest of ways. They were all working in the same multinational corporation with high-stress jobs, feeling alienated from their creativity and passion for music. One day, during a particularly dull office meeting, they discovered their shared love for music and decided to form a band, calling it Alienated Job, a nod to their corporate lives they felt estranged from.

Their music journey started with impromptu jamming sessions in the basement of their office building, slowly gaining popularity among their colleagues and eventually, the local community. Their reputation grew and they started performing at local bars and clubs, eventually quitting their corporate jobs to fully dedicate themselves to their music.

Song Title:
“Boardroom Blues”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
In the heart of the skyscrapers,
G D
Underneath the shining disguise,
Em C
Where dreams are mere papers,
G D
And hearts are colder than ice.

(Chorus)
Em C
We found our beat in the boardroom,
G D
Turned our spreadsheets into tunes,
Em C
Quit the job, sang the blues,
G D
Under the pale office-room moon.

(Verse 2)
Em C
Traded our ties for guitars,
G D
Exchanged coffees for the rhythm of the stars,
Em C
In the realm of chords we roam,
G D
Music, our true home.

(Chorus)
Em C
We found our beat in the boardroom,
G D
Turned our spreadsheets into tunes,
Em C
Quit the job, sang the blues,
G D
Under the pale office-room moon.

(Outro)
Em C
Alienated Job, that’s who we are,
G D
From office drones to rock stars.

Testimonial:
“I’ve followed Alienated Job from their early days of jamming in their office basement. I used to work in the same building and their music touched my heart. It spoke of the longing we all felt, the alienation from our own creativity and dreams, buried under corporate expectations and workloads. They put that feeling into words, into music, and it felt liberating. They’re my favorite band because they remind me that it’s never too late to follow your passion and break free from anything that makes you feel alienated. Their music is raw, real, and truly inspiring.”
