Backstory:
Flat Pair, hailing from the small town of Asheville, North Carolina, is a duo comprised of childhood friends turned musical partners, Jesse Bonner and Elliot “El” Turner. They spent countless summer nights under the starry southern sky, strumming on their guitars and dreaming of a life built on their shared love for music. After years of honing their craft and experimenting with different sounds, they decided to form Flat Pair, a testament to their shared upbringing and vision.
Jesse, a self-taught guitarist, draws his inspiration from the rush of the evergreen landscapes and the comforting rhythm of small-town life. El, a drummer by passion and a lyricist by fate, finds his muse in the most mundane, the most ordinary, and the most overlooked aspects of life. Together, they create a heartfelt blend of music that resonates with their fans and leaves them longing for more.

“Drifting Apart”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Been a while since we last [C] spied,
[D] Silence creeping from the [Em] night.
[G] Felt the warmth of summer [C] breeze,
[D] Heard the whispers of the [Em] trees.
(Chorus)
[G] Drifting apart, yet stuck in [Em] time,
[C] Searching for signs in your [D] rhyme.
[G] Our solstice sunset, [Em] once so bright,
[C] Fades away in the [D] moonlight.
(Verse 2)
[G] Your laughter echoes in the [C] wind,
[D] A melody I can’t [Em] rescind.
[G] Our memories intertwine, [C] unbind,
[D] In the corners of my [Em] mind.
(Chorus)
[G] Drifting apart, yet stuck in [Em] time,
[C] Chasing your light, my only [D] crime.
[G] Our solstice sunset, [Em] once so dear,
[C] Is just a shadow, [D] I fear.
