The story

Ideal Jar is a musical band that came to life in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California in 2015. Four childhood friends - Jack (vocals), Aaron (guitar), Ryan (drums), and Isaac (bass) - decided to take their shared love for music to another level, forging their own sound from the pieces of their favourite influences. Each of them brought a different taste to the table, and it was this assortment that brewed the unique sound of Ideal Jar, a metaphor symbolizing the perfect blend of their musical ingredients.

Their journey began with small gigs in local bars, eventually earning them a dedicated fan base. It was their energetic performance and distinctive sound that caught the attention of a local music producer. The producer offered them an opportunity that would catapult them into the mainstream music scene, and their career took off from there.

Lightning in a Jar

Verse 1
[G] Lights down low, [D] hearts on fire
[Em] Looking back, [C] never been higher
[G] Rusty strings, [D] midnight liars
[Em]All our dreams, [C] caught in this wire

Chorus
[G]We are like lightning in a jar
[D]Burning bright but never far
[Em]Shining through the deepest dark
[C]We are, we are, the lightning in a jar

Verse 2
[G]Screaming loud, [D] under the stars
[Em]Chasing shadows, [C] bearing our scars
[G]In this moment, [D] we're avant-garde
[Em]Living stories, [C] played on guitars

Chorus
[G]We are like lightning in a jar
[D]Burning bright but never far
[Em]Shining through the deepest dark
[C]We are, we are, the lightning in a jar

Bridge
[G]Can't hold us down, can't [D] keep us apart
[Em]This is our sound, it's [C] who we are
[G]Beyond the clouds, we'll [D] reach the stars
[Em]With the sound of [C] our beating hearts

Chorus
[G]We are like lightning in a jar
[D]Burning bright but never far
[Em]Shining through the deepest dark
[C]We are, we are, the lightning in a jar
