Backstory:
Bogus Reserve traces its journey back to the sleepy town of Fincastle, Virginia, where four childhood friends, Sean, Jake, Travis, and Riley, discovered their shared passion for music. They started jamming together in Riley’s dad’s old garage, creating music that echoed their rebellious spirit and deep-seated desire for adventure. Bogus Reserve was born in that very garage, named after a treasure map the boys came across in one of their adventures, leading to a “Bogus Reserve.” The name stuck, reflecting the band’s journey of exploration and their pursuit of a dream that many believed was bogus.
Bogus Reserve’s music journey was not without its challenges, but it was their shared bond and love for music that kept them going. They played in local pubs and music festivals, slowly gaining recognition for their unique sound and captivating performances. Their journey took a significant turn when their performance at a music festival in Richmond was noticed by a record label executive, leading to their first official record deal.
Genre:
Bogus Reserve is a dynamic blend of Indie Rock and Alternative Country, with influences from folk and blues. Their music is characterized by deep soulful lyrics, rich harmonies, and a raw, gritty sound that resonates with their listeners’ emotions.
Title:
“One Last Dance in the Rain”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Sitting on the porch, [D] looking at the sky,
[Em] Memories of you and I, [C] under the moonlight.
[G] Your laughter in my ear, [D] your touch so near,
[Em] A love so clear, [C] now you’re not here.
(Chorus)
[G] Let’s have one last [D] dance in the rain,
[Em] Let’s forget the [C] world, forget the pain.
[G] Hold on to the [D] memories, let them not wane,
[Em] Let’s have one last [C] dance, [G] in the rain.
(Verse 2)
[G] The wind whispers your [D] name, it’s not the same,
[Em] Life’s a cruel game, [C] love’s the only flame.
[G] I miss the way you [D] smile, it’s been a while,
[Em] Every moment, every mile, [C] without you is a trial.
(Chorus)
[G] Let’s have one last [D] dance in the rain,
[Em] Let’s forget the [C] world, forget the pain.
[G] Hold on to the [D] memories, let them not wane,
[Em] Let’s have one last [C] dance, [G] in the rain.
