Backstory:
Brilliant Wave was birthed in the vibrant soul of the New Orleans music scene in the summer of 2011. The band consists of four members: lead vocalist and guitarist Jacob Moore, bassist Ryan Johnson, drummer Amy Collins, and keyboardist Oliver Hughes. They were four strangers with one common thread – an unquenchable passion for music. Initially, they were just jamming in the local bars and participating in open mic nights. The magic flowed in the air the first night they decided to play together. The room had an electric energy that seemed to echo their name, ‘Brilliant Wave’.
As their music started to gain traction, they left their day jobs and dedicated themselves to their shared dream. They signed their first record deal in 2013 and haven’t looked back since. Brilliant Wave has gone from playing at local bars to sold-out tours across the country, all while maintaining their unique sound and rebellious spirit.

Title:
“Sapphire Skies”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am – C – G – F
Underneath the sapphire skies, where we used to dream
The city streets, they whisper tales of you and me
But now it’s just the cold night wind, singing our melody
In a world that seems so vast, I miss you, can’t you see?
(Chorus)
C – G – Am – F
When brilliant waves come crashing down, I’ll remember you
In the laughter and the tears, in everything I do
I’ll find you in the echoes of the songs we used to play,
Underneath the sapphire skies, where we used to lay.
(Verse 2)
Am – C – G – F
The stars above are dancing in your memory
In the rhythm of the night, I can hear your harmony
I’m lost in the music of your love that used to be
Underneath the sapphire skies, is where I long to be
(Chorus)
C – G – Am – F
When brilliant waves come crashing down, I’ll remember you
In the silence of the night, in the morning dew,
I’ll find you in the whispers of the wind that gently sway,
Underneath the sapphire skies, where we used to lay
(Ending)
Am – C – G – F
So here’s to the sapphire skies, and the love that we once knew
In the brilliant waves of time, I’ll always remember you.

Testimonial:
“Brilliant Wave is more than just a band for me. Their music has been the soundtrack of my life, marking every high and low with a song. I remember the first time I heard ‘Sapphire Skies’; I was going through a tough time, and it felt like they had put my feelings into words. The raw emotion in their lyrics, coupled with their unique sound, resonates with me in a way no other band does. They are not just musicians; they’re storytellers, rebels, dreamers – and they inspire me to be the same. Brilliant Wave isn’t just my favorite band – they’re a part of who I am.”
