Backstory:

Lame Bell stumbled into existence during a late-night jam session in a dingy basement in 2013 in a small town in New Jersey. The town was dull, life was predictable, and music seemed to be the only escape for these five friends – Jace (vocals), Tommy (guitar), Ricky (bass), Danny (drums), and Lisa (Keyboard). During one such jam session, the group decided to make their music journey official, and hence, Lame Bell was born. The band name came from a running joke among the group about an old, broken bell in their high school that never rang right – it was, as they would say, a lame bell.

Genre:

Indie Pop/Rock

Title:

“Rusted Strings”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] All these years, in this [D] small town,
[G] Nothing changes, it’s a [D] merry-go-round,
[G] We found solace in [D] our sound,
[G] Midst the noise, a refuge [D] we found.

(Chorus)
[C] Ring out, ring out, [G] our rusted strings,
[D] Echoing down the empty swings,
[C] The lame bell, it [G] sings and sings,
[D] In our hearts, its melody clings.

(Verse 2)
[G] Chasing dreams in the [D] dead of night,
[G] Scribbling songs under the [D] pale moonlight,
[G] We found rhythm, found our [D] fight,
[G] In every chord, in every [D] plight.

(Chorus)
[C] Ring out, ring out, [G] our rusted strings,
[D] Echoing in the lonely springs,
[C] The lame bell, it [G] sings and sings,
[D] Our anthem, to the world it brings.
