The band members, each with their peculiar character, managed to blend their diverse musical backgrounds into a unique sound. The name ‘Jaunty Approval’ stemmed from their shared philosophy of embracing the joy in life despite its ups and downs, and the band’s music does just that – it resonates with the listeners, giving them the approval to be jaunty and free-spirited.

Throughout their journey, they faced numerous challenges, but rather than letting those hurdles dampen their spirits, they used them as stepping stones to refine their music. Their music is a reflection of their journey, filled with stories of love, loss, resilience, and most importantly, the joy of living every moment. Their journey, which started in a small basement, has led them to perform in some of the most renowned venues across the country.

Full Song Lyrics:

[Intro]
Dm – G – C – Am

(Verse 1)
Dm G C Am
Life ain’t always sunshine, my dear,
Dm G C Am
Sometimes it pours down like a tear.
Dm G C Am
But don’t you hide, don’t you refrain,
Dm G C Am
Come out and dance in the rain.

(Chorus)
F G C Am
With every drop, let your troubles drain,
F G C Am
Embrace the storm, dance in the rain.
F G C Am
Life is a melody, a sweet, soulful refrain,
F G C Am
So come, my dear, dance in the rain.

(Verse 2)
Dm G C Am
In the sky of life, be a rainbow stain,
Dm G C Am
After the storm, in a world so plain,
Dm G C Am
With every step, let joy regain,
Dm G C Am
Come, my dear, dance in the rain.

(Chorus)
F G C Am
With every beat, feel life’s pulsating vein,
F G C Am
Embrace the rhythm, dance in the rain.
F G C Am
Life is a song, not a ball and chain,
F G C Am
So come, my dear, dance in the rain.

(Outro)
Dm – G – C – Am
