Backstory:
The Careless Couple is a musical duo consisting of two small-town musicians, Emily and Jacob, who serendipitously crossed paths at an open mic night at their local bar in Austin, Texas. Each was struggling to carve a niche in the music industry as a solo artist when they found that their energies aligned perfectly in a unique blend of sound. Their chemistry on stage was palpable, and they decided to combine their talents to form a band, the Careless Couple. Their strength lies in their ability to explore the beauty in imperfections, creating songs that resonate with the audience on a deeply emotional level.
Despite their name, the Careless Couple pours their heart and soul into every note they play. Although Emily’s soft voice contrasts with Jacob’s rougher tone, the juxtaposition creates an intriguing harmony. Their journey hasn’t been easy, but their raw talent, compelling lyrics and a shared love for music keep them connected and constantly evolving.

“Whiskey Lullabies”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Underneath the moonlight, [G] beside the murky stream,
[Am] We built castles out of paper dreams,
[F] Drank whiskey from the bottle, [G] let the world slide by,
[Am] Your eyes mirrored tales of the sky.
(Chorus)
[C] Sing me whiskey lullabies, [G] in your raspy tone,
[Am] In our careless world, we’re never alone,
[F] With your love as my compass, [G] your heart as my guide,
[Am] We’ll dance through life, with time on our side.
(Verse 2)
[C] In our old pick up truck, [G] we chase the setting sun,
[Am] Our laughter blending with the radio’s hum,
[F] You strum the guitar, [G] I hum along,
[Am] In our haphazard rhythm, we find our song.
(Chorus)
[C] Sing me whiskey lullabies, [G] in your raspy tone,
[Am] In our careless world, we’re never alone,
[F] With your love as my compass, [G] your heart as my guide,
[Am] We’ll dance through life, with time on our side.
