Backstory:
Calm Friendship was born within the rustic confines of a small town in Tennessee, where four childhood friends nurtured their shared passion for music. The members, Oliver (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Maggie (bass guitar and backing vocals), Shane (drums) and Blake (lead guitar), grew up on neighboring farms, the vast fields serving as their playgrounds and the small county fairs their first stages. Their strong bond and shared experiences have shaped the band’s music, nurturing a depth of emotion that resonates with their listeners.

In the early days, the band started out playing at local bars, honing their skills and developing their unique sound. It was at one such gig that they were discovered by a talent scout and their journey of sharing their music with the world began. Despite gaining popularity and touring nationwide, Calm Friendship remains grounded, their music an ode to their humble beginnings, friendships, and love for nature.

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1

Under the willow tree, we’d lay, (C – G)
Watching clouds drift away, (Am – F)
In the heart of Tennessee, we found our melody, (C – G – Am – F)

(C – G – Am – F)
Under the willow tree, (C – G)
That’s where our hearts would meet, (Am – F)
In the rhythm of the breeze, we found our harmony, (C – G – Am – F)

Verse 2
On the banks of the winding creek, (C – G)
We’d dream of places we’d yet to seek, (Am – F)
In the heart of Tennessee, we found our symphony, (C – G – Am – F)

Under the willow tree, (C – G)
That’s where our hearts would meet, (Am – F)
In the rhythm of the breeze, we found our harmony, (C – G – Am – F)

Bridge
(Em – Am – Dm – G)
In the silence of the night, under the moon’s soft light, (Em – Am)
We made a promise, sealed with a kiss, (Dm – G)
In the heart of Tennessee, we found our symphony, (Em – Am – Dm – G)

Chorus
Under the willow tree, (C – G)
That’s where our hearts would meet, (Am – F)
In the rhythm of the breeze, we found our harmony, (C – G – Am – F)
