Backstory:
Definitive Occasion first came together in the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas, in 2012. The band’s members, high school friends Jason “Jay” Lewis, Mike Jackson, and Sarah Watts, found a common thread in their love for music and decided to unite their eclectic musical tastes to create something truly unique. They spent their formative years playing in various local clubs and music festivals, gradually honing their sound and gaining a loyal following with their dynamic performances and heartfelt lyrics.
After their breakout performance at the South by Southwest music festival in 2015, Definitive Occasion was signed by indie label Moonstone Records. They’ve since released three critically acclaimed albums, toured nationally, and have grown to become one of the most respected bands on the indie music scene.

Title:
“Stolen Moments”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Stolen moments, in the [D] backseat of your car,
[Em] Underneath the city lights, we’re [C] counting every star.
[G] Spinning records in your [D] room, dancing in the dark,
[Em] With every beat, I feel the [C] rhythm of your heart.
(Chorus)
[D] We’re just dreamers on a [G] journey,
[C] Chasing shadows of the [G] night.
[D] In your arms, I found my [G] sanctuary,
[C] In your eyes, my [D] guiding light.
(Verse 2)
[G] Secret whispers shared in [D] hushed and quiet tones,
[Em] Every word you speak to me, [C] etched in monochrome.
[G] We’re just silhouettes against the [D] backdrop of the dawn,
[Em] These stolen moments [C] are where we truly belong.
(Chorus)
[D] We’re just dreamers on a [G] journey,
[C] Chasing shadows of the [G] night.
[D] In your arms, I found my [G] sanctuary,
[C] In your eyes, my [D] guiding light.

“Why is Definitive Occasion my favorite band? Well, it’s simple. Their music speaks to me on a personal level. Whether it’s the raw emotion in their lyrics or the passion in their performances, there’s something about their sound that just resonates with me. I’ve been following them since their early days in Austin and it’s been amazing to see how they’ve grown over the years. The song ‘Stolen Moments’ helped me through some tough times. It’s like they can articulate feelings I can’t express myself. Definitive Occasion is more than just a band to me, they’re like a friend who’s always there when I need them.”
