Backstory:
Leafy Suggestion is an eccentric indie rock band hailing from the quirky city of Portland, Oregon. The band was formed in 2010 by four friends who shared a passion for music and a penchant for hanging out in local coffee shops. The name “Leafy Suggestion” came about from a joke about a vegan bandmate’s dietary preferences, but the name stuck and became emblematic of the band’s unique, earthy style. The members of Leafy Suggestion are not only musicians, but also environmental activists, using their platform to raise awareness about climate change and sustainability.

Title:
“Whispers of the Wind”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] In the quiet of the [D] morning, [Em] as the sun begins to [C] rise,
[G] I hear the whispers of the [D] wind, [Em] telling tales of [C] nature’s cries.
[G] As I walk down the [D] city streets, [Em] under the concrete [C] skies
[G] I long for the leafy [D] suggestion, [Em] where my heart [C] truly lies.
(Chorus)
[G] Nature’s song, it [D] calls to me, [Em] an echo of [C] the wild
[G] A leafy suggestion, a [D] call to arms, [Em] for every [C] man, woman and child.
(Verse 2)
[G] In the hustle and the [D] bustle, [Em] as the day begins to [C] fade,
[G] I feel the rhythm of the [D] earth, [Em] of the music that’s [C] nature-made.
[G] How I yearn for the [D] open spaces, [Em] for the quiet [C] forest glade,
[G] The leafy suggestion, [D] nature’s serenade. [Em] [C]
(Chorus)
[G] Nature’s song, it [D] calls to me, [Em] an echo of [C] the wild.
[G] A leafy suggestion, a [D] call to arms, [Em] for every [C] man, woman and child.
