1. Backstory:
Black Skirt is a band that was formed in the cold garages of Portland, Oregon in 2012. The members, high school friends Ian (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Melissa (bass, backing vocals), and Lucas (drums) spent most of their weekends immersed in a fusion of blues, rock, and soul music. Their gritty garage jam sessions were initially just a means of escape from their mundane routines, but soon evolved into something more substantial. They named themselves ‘Black Skirt’ as a tribute to a song from their favorite band, The Rolling Stones.

After years of honing their craft, Black Skirt recorded their first album in Melissa’s makeshift basement recording studio. Their music caught the attention of a local radio station, launching them into the Portland Indie Music Scene. Black Skirt’s unique sound is characterized by bluesy guitar riffs, husky vocals, and a captivating rhythm section. They have since grown in popularity and perform regularly at local venues and music festivals, always leaving their audience yearning for more.

4. Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the heart of a hushed city street,
Underneath the lights so dim and neat,
She dances in a black skirt, oh so fleet,
Her rhythm matching my heart’s beat.

(Chorus)
Midnight whispers, echoed sighs,
In the moonlight, love never lies,
Dancing shadows, a starry surprise,
In her eyes, my universe lies.

(Verse 2)
The music fades, but we’re still swaying,
In the silence, our hearts are playing,
Her laughter’s music, constantly saying,
This moment of love, forever staying.

(Chorus)
Midnight whispers, shared dreams,
Under the cosmos, everything gleams,
Her black skirt twirling in moonbeams,
In the depths of night, love redeems.

(Bridge)
The clock strikes twelve, the music dies,
But in her eyes, the melody lies,
With every beat my heart complies,
To the rhythm of love, it never defies.

(Chorus)
Midnight whispers, silent songs,
In her embrace, my soul belongs,
Her black skirt twirling, never wrongs,
In this dance of love, where my heart longs.

(Outro)
As dawn creeps in, our dance ends,
But in my heart, the music never bends,
Her black skirt, my love transcends,
Midnight whispers, our love story extends.
