Backstory:
Formed in a garage in the early years of the new millennium in the heart of Seattle, Washington, the band ‘Gigantic Number’ was the brainchild of four high school friends – frontman Cole Foster, guitarist Benji Evans, bassist Greg “Hawkeye” Mitchell, and drummer Hannah “H-Bomb” Belson. They started as a simple, fun outlet to escape the mundane realities of their daily lives, but their unique sound soon caught the attention of locals, transforming them into the city’s best-kept secret.
Their breakthrough came during a local battle of the bands competition, catching the ear of music producer Jerry “The Mixer” O’Shea. Impressed by their raw talent and original sound, O’Shea signed them to his label, catapulting their musical careers. Gigantic Number soon released their first studio album that became a nationwide sensation, and their journey from garage band to national phenomenon had officially begun.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Em] Starlight, [G] dream bright, [A] in the cold summer [C] night
[Em] We’re just [G] atoms, in the [A] universe taking [C] flight
[Em] Lost in [G] space and [A] time, but it [C] feels so right
[Em] Just like a [G] Gigantic Number, [A] fading out of [C] sight
(Chorus)
[D] Counting down to [G] infinity, [C] living out our [Bm] destiny
[D] Underneath the [G] galaxy, [C] we’re making our [Bm] melody
[D] Just you and [G] me, in this beautiful [C] insanity
[D] We’re like a [G] Gigantic Number, [C] Counting down to [Bm] infinity
(Verse 2)
[Em] High hopes, [G] tightropes, [A] walking on the edge [C] tonight
[Em] Risk it [G] all, won’t let [A] gravity win the [C] fight
[Em] We’re just [G] cosmic dust, [A] yet we shine so [C] bright
[D] Like a [G] Gigantic Number, [A] reaching infinite [C] height
(Chorus)
[D] Counting down to [G] infinity, [C] living out our [Bm] destiny
[D] Underneath the [G] galaxy, [C] we’re making our [Bm] melody
[D] Just you and [G] me, in this beautiful [C] insanity
[D] We’re like a [G] Gigantic Number, [C] Counting down to [Bm] infinity

Testimonial:
“Gigantic Number is more than just a band for me. Their music, the raw energy, the authenticity – it’s the elixir that keeps me going. While their sound resonates with the broader alternative rock audience, for me, it signifies a fight against the mundane, a rebellion against conformity, and an embrace of the infinite possibilities of life. They are my favorite because their music is not just about providing entertainment, it’s about delivering a unique perspective of life through the medium of sound.” – Timmy Johnson
