Backstory:
Free Doctrine emerged from the diverse music scene of Austin, Texas, in the summer of 2007. The band started as a conversation between two long-time friends, lead vocalist Marcus Green and guitarist Tommy Harper, who wished to create music that resonates with people’s souls. After teaming up with bassist Sarah Benson and drummer Lance Hudson, Free Doctrine was born. Their goal was to create a distinct sound that would bridge the gap between different musical genres, cultures, and generations.

Genre:
Free Doctrine’s sound is best described as a fusion of Indie Rock and Folk with a touch of Blues. Drawing influences from a broad spectrum of musical genres, they create a unique blend that is both familiar and innovative.

Song Title:
“Unshackled Melody”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am G F C
Walking down the road, under the weary sky,
Am G F C
I heard the whisper of a thousand untold lies.
Am G F C
The wind sang a song, blending pain with glee,
Am G F C
In unknown tongues of love, loss, and liberty.

(Chorus)
Am G F C
Unshackled melody, echo in my mind,
Am G F C
Carry me to places, where the sun always shines.
Am G F C
Unfettered and free, like a bird in the sky,
Am G F C
This is the doctrine, under which we abide.

(Verse 2)
Am G F C
We sailed on a sea, as deep as our sins,
Am G F C
Chasing the horizon, where the sky begins.
Am G F C
Through the storms and the calm, we held on tight,
Am G F C
Guided by the moon, our lighthouse in the night.

(Chorus)
Am G F C
Unshackled melody, echo in my mind,
Am G F C
Carry me to places, where the sun always shines.
Am G F C
Unfettered and free, like a bird in the sky,
Am G F C
This is the doctrine, under which we abide.
