Backstory:
Frail Quilt was formed in the rain-drenched city of Seattle, Washington in 2015. The band was the brainchild of lead vocalist and songwriter, Sam Reynolds, a former photojournalist who decided to pursue a career in music after his exposure to various cultures and their unique musical sounds. His vision was to create a band that infused the elements of folk, blues, and indie, with a touch of world music. He was soon joined by bassist Marci Lang, drummer Alex Ritter, and guitarist and back vocalist Lucy Keating, who shared his vision and passion. Each member brought their personality, style, and a piece of their story, creating a beautiful patchwork of tones, rhythms, and lyrics—much like a frail quilt.

Title:
“Stitched in Time”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Wandering through the [C] back alleys of time,
[D] Scraps of memory, [G] melodies in rhyme.
[G] Each a story, a [C] moment that’s passed,
[D] Sewn together, [G] they’re made to last.

(Chorus)
[C] We are frail quilt, [G] stitched in time,
[D] Our tales woven in a [Em] melodic line.
[C] A patchwork of love, of [G] pain, and delight,
[D] Singing our song, [G] into the night.

(Verse 2)
[G] A tear, a smile, a [C] beat, a sigh,
[D] Threads of emotion, [G] under the sky.
[G] A kaleidoscope of [C] dreams and fears,
[D] Embroidered into [G] the fabric of years.

(Chorus)
[C] We are frail quilt, [G] stitched in time,
[D] Our tales woven in a [Em] beautiful rhyme.
[C] A patchwork of hearts, [G] souls intertwined,
[D] Singing our song, [G] leaving no one behind.
