Backstory:
Breakable Donkey originated from the sleepy seaside town of Buxton, North Carolina. It was here that the four members – Jack Winfrey on vocals and rhythm guitar, Megan Rhodes on drums, Marvin Keller on bass, and Lucy Sinclair on lead guitar – first crossed paths as high school misfits with a shared passion for alternative music. After endless hours spent in Jack’s parent’s garage, the band was born in the summer of 2009. Since then, Breakable Donkey’s unique sound, a mix of indie rock and grunge, coupled with their engaging performances, has taken them on a memorable journey through the music scene. The name “Breakable Donkey” is said to have come from a vintage store sign they stumbled upon during a road trip, which embodied the band’s ethos of embracing the absurd and unpredictable in life.

Full Song Lyrics:
[Intro] Em, G, D, A
[Verse 1]
(Em)Lost in a lighthouse, chasing a (G) dream,
(D)Down in the basement, where silence can (A) scream.
(Em)Torn up letters, stained with (G) red wine,
(D)Memories, eventually will (A) decline.
[Chorus]
(C)Fallen stars, we are, a (G) faded constellation,
(D)Clinging to the echoes of our (A) lost imagination.
(C)Breakable as glass, stubborn like a (G) donkey,
(D)We keep moving forward, even when we’re (A) wonky.
[Verse 2]
(Em)Scratched vinyl records, play our favorite (G) song,
(D)Songs of youth, where we once (A) belong.
(Em)Aging in a world, where time’s an (G) illusion,
(D)We’re just characters, lost in life’s (A) fusion.
[Chorus]
(C)Fallen stars, we are, a (G) faded constellation,
(D)Clinging to the echoes of our (A) lost imagination.
(C)Breakable as glass, stubborn like a (G) donkey,
(D)We keep moving forward, even when we’re (A) wonky.
[Outro]
(Em)So here’s to the dreamers, the (G) beautiful and the rare,
(D)To the breakable donkeys, who (A) dare to dare.
