Backstory:
Elastic Basket was formed in a small, dusty town in South Texas. The group started as a trio of high school friends who were filled with dreams of grandeur and a burning, youthful ambition. Their shared love for music and their harmonious friendship led them to start making their own tunes in a ragtag garage. Over time, they added two more members, transforming their band from a hobby into a life-long commitment. They named themselves “Elastic Basket”, a quirky term they derived from their shared philosophy of life – adaptability and the capacity to hold anything that comes their way, just like an elastic basket.
Genre:
Elastic Basket’s music style is best described as Indie Rock with Southern Blues influences.
Title:
“One String Blues”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
[G]Well, I’m sitting here playing [C]on my one-string guitar
[D]Singing about the nights under a [G]southern star
[C]Life in this town can be [G]oh so tough
[D]But with my one string, it’s [G]enough
(Chorus)
[G]One string blues, that’s [C]all I’ve got
[D]Playing my song in this [G]lonely spot
[C]My one string blues, it [G]ain’t a lot
[D]But it’s all I need in this [G]little spot
(Verse)
[G]I’ve seen the big city lights, [C]I’ve heard the country sound
[D]But nothing compares to my [G]hometown ground
[C]One string guitar, a [G]simple tool
[D]But its music is the [G]purest jewel
(Chorus)
[G]One string blues, that’s [C]all I need
[D]Lost in music, lost in [G]heed
[C]My one string blues, it [G]sets me free
[D]In this little town, it’s my [G]spree
