Great name for a band
Cumbersome Flight
The story
Cumbersome Flight began as a duo of childhood friends - Ryan McNeil and Jeremy Taylor. Both shared a love for music from an early age, growing up in the small town of Dover, New Hampshire, where their options for fun were limited. It was only natural that they gravitated towards creating music. The two spent countless hours jamming in Taylor's garage, their passion only growing as they aged. Upon high school graduation, McNeil and Taylor decided to pursue their dreams, moving to Boston to study music. Their talent and dedication caught the eye of Sam Roberts and Lydia Summers, two fellow musicians who decided to join the duo, forming what we now know as 'Cumbersome Flight'.
The band primarily falls under the Alternative Rock genre but often experiment with elements of Pop and Indie Rock.
The band's most popular song to date is "Wings of the Dawn".
Verse 1: Am-G-Dm Underneath the neon lights, we find our way Lost in the darkness, chasing the break of day Caught in the turmoil, searching for peace In every corner, where shadows cease Chorus: F-C-G We got the Wings of the Dawn, we got the strength to carry on We won't be lost, we won't be gone We are the voices in the night, in every battle, we will fight With the Wings of the Dawn, we'll fly high Verse 2: Am-G-Dm In this chaotic world, we find our grace In every struggle, we find our place In silent whispers, in roaring seas In every moment, we find our keys Chorus: F-C-G We got the Wings of the Dawn, we got the strength to carry on We won't be lost, we won't be gone We are the voices in the night, in every battle, we will fight With the Wings of the Dawn, we'll fly high Bridge: (Em-F-G) With these wings, we'll rise above In the face of adversity, we find our love We are the melody, we are the song With the Wings of the Dawn, we belong Chorus: F-C-G We got the Wings of the Dawn, we got the strength to carry on We won't be lost, we won't be gone We are the voices in the night, in every battle, we will fight With the Wings of the Dawn, we'll fly high
