Backstory:
Born in the bustling heart of New York City, ‘Flimsy Deposit’ is the child of four friends who found solace and shared dreams in their passion for music. The four, all of whom worked in the city’s fast-paced corporate world, used music as their escape from the monotony. Their shared apartment in Brooklyn turned into a music studio each night, where they jammed and experimented with sounds and lyrics. Over countless pizza boxes and cans of soda, ‘Flimsy Deposit’ was born.
Their unique name is a reflection of their journey, symbolizing the risk they took by investing their savings and time into something as flimsy as a band. But their passion for music made their deposit anything but flimsy. Through word of mouth, they started performing at local pubs, and soon their soulful and relatable music started gaining a loyal fan base.

Title:
“Coffee Shop Corners”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] On the corner of a [Am] coffee shop, [G] you and I first met,
[Dm] In the heart of the city that [F] never goes to bed.
[C] You had on your headphones, [Am] lost in your own world,
[G] I asked what you were listening to, [Dm] you said, “Flimsy Deposit, haven’t you heard?”
(Chorus)
[C] We were just a flimsy deposit, [G] in the bank of dreams,
[Am] Betting on the future, [Dm] as flimsy as it seems.
[C] But just like that coffee shop corner, [G] our love has its roots,
[Am] We’ll keep growing, even when [Dm] no one waters our shoots.
(Verse 2)
[C] Years have passed, and [Am] we’ve come a long way,
[G] From the coffee shop corner, to [Dm] where we stand today.
[C] You and I, under the [Am] city lights glow,
[G] Still jamming to the rhythm, of [Dm] Flimsy Deposit’s flow.
(Chorus)
[C] We were just a flimsy deposit, [G] in the bank of dreams,
[Am] Betting on the future, [Dm] as flimsy as it seems.
[C] But just like that coffee shop corner, [G] our love has its roots,
[Am] We’ll keep growing, even when [Dm] no one waters our shoots.

Their songs articulate what I feel but cannot express. The raw emotions and the authenticity in their performance make them stand out in the crowd. It’s not just music to me; it’s therapy.
