4. Full song lyrics with chord progression:

Verse 1: [Am] [G] [F] [C]
[Am] I met her on a sunny day, [G] down by the old mill stream
[F] Her eyes were as bright as the morning rays [C] on the river’s shimmering gleam
[Am] We talked of dreams and whispered words, [G] under the willow’s shade
[F] I knew then, in her tender gaze, [C] my heart was forever swayed

Chorus: [G] [Am] [F] [C]
[G] We were chasing the river, [Am] under the open sky
[F] In her arms, I was the giver, [C] in love’s sweet lullaby
[G] We were chasing the river, [Am] with hopes running wild and free
[F] And in the echoes of her laughter, [C] I found my destiny

(Repeat chord progression for additional verses and choruses)

5. The bands favorite fan’s name is Lucy Graham. A college student from their hometown, Lucy has been following Doting Creator since their very first performance. She’s been present at every gig, knows each song by heart, and was even the one who introduced the band to the talent scout that led to their signing. She says, “Their music speaks to me on a personal level. It’s raw, real, and resonates with my own experiences. I feel connected to them through their lyrics. They’re not just four individuals making music, but they’re narrators of my life’s story. It’s why Doting Creator is and will always be my favorite band.”
