Backstory:

Cloudy Spring emerged from the vibrant indie music scene of Portland, Oregon in 2010. The band was formed by childhood friends, Max Gallagher on vocals and guitar, and Danny Gibson on drums, who were later joined by bassist, Jenny Adams. As they navigated their early twenties, they found solace and inspiration in the temperamental Oregon weather, which led to the creation of their uniquely atmospheric sound, complete with poetic lyrics and soulful melodies. Cloudy Spring’s rise to fame was largely due to the viral success of their debut single, “Raincoat Melodies”.

“Underneath the Willow Tree”

Full Song Lyrics:

[C] Underneath the willow tree, [G] where our secret love used to be
[Am] You held me close, [F] whispered words of poetry

Verse 1:
[C] I can still see your smile, [G] as we hid from the world for a while
[Am] In the soft, green grass, [F] it felt like we’d walked a mile

Chorus:
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [C] where you first said you loved me
[Am] Now all that remains, [F] is a bittersweet memory

Verse 2:
[C] The leaves have changed, [G] so has your heart
[Am] Now we’re oceans apart, [F] under the same star

Chorus:
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [C] where you promised you’d never leave
[Am] Now here I am, [F] lost in this melancholy

Bridge:
[Am] Perhaps the spring will bring, [F] a new song for me to sing
[C] But until then, [G] I’m just missing everything

Chorus:
[G] Underneath the willow tree, [C] where we carved our names, you see
[Am] It’s just a reminder, [F] of how we used to be

Outro:
[C] Underneath the willow tree, [G] I’m still waiting patiently
[Am] For a love that was, [F] and will never be
