Backstory: Deserted Beam was formed in the mid-2000s in the heart of Los Angeles and consists of members Alex Thompson (lead singer), James Gallagher (guitarist), Noah Clarke (drummer), and Ethan Anderson (bassist). The four members met at a local open mic night at a shady bar, each one disillusioned with the state of modern music and looking for something more. They found solace in the raw, authentic sound they created together, and after that fateful night, Deserted Beam was born. Their music is a rebellion against the polished, overproduced sounds dominating the airwaves, seeking to return to the raw roots of rock and roll.
Genre: Garage Rock
Song Title: “Steel Lullaby”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: [Am, G, F, E])
Steel town girl, with her head in the clouds,
Dreamin’ bigger than the factory allows.
She’s got tired eyes, but a restless soul,
Lost in a world, where she don’t belong.
(Chorus: [C, G, Am, F])
She’s singing, steel lullaby,
Underneath this smoky sky.
Like a stranded star, lost in the city lights,
But she won’t let go, of her dream tonight.
(Verse 2: [Am, G, F, E])
Widget maker boy, with a poet’s heart,
Working his days, in a world apart.
In the neon glow, he finds his muse,
Taken by the girl, who’s got nothing to lose.
(Chorus: [C, G, Am, F])
He’s whispering, steel lullaby,
To the girl who’s always in his mind.
Like a beacon torch, shining in the dark,
He’s finding hope, in a lonely spark.
