Backstory:
Likely Cough, a ragtag trio of friends hailing from the streets of Seattle, Washington, first started making music together during college. Their offbeat humor, coupled with a knack for creating infectious melodies, quickly gained them popularity amongst the student populace. After graduation, they decided to take their music to the next level, quitting their day jobs and dedicating their lives to their band. Their first gig was at a small dive bar, but their music quickly elevated them to larger venues – and bigger audiences. They soon attracted the attention of a record label, securing a deal and releasing their first studio album to critical acclaim.
Genre:
Likely Cough combines elements of indie rock and alternative pop, creating a unique blend that’s as eclectic as it is catchy. Their lyrics often feature wry humor, quirky observations about life, and the occasional dash of existential angst.
Title:
“One Last Cough Drop”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] I found a cough drop in my [D] pocket,
[C] A sticky remnant of our [G] love.
[G] I remember you once said it [D] tastes so sweet,
[C] Just like us, it was never [G] enough.
(Chorus)
[G] One last cough drop, [D] one last memory,
[C] A sugary reminder of what [G] used to be.
[G] We danced to the rhythm of the [D] falling rain,
[C] Now all I taste is the [G] bitter sweet pain.
(Verse 2)
[G] The wrapper crinkles in my [D] hand,
[C] Echoing our laughter in a [G] distant land.
[G] We shared dreams as big as the [D] open sky,
[C] But like this cough drop, they too [G] had to die.
(Chorus)
[G] One last cough drop, [D] one last dance,
[C] We were young, entranced in a [G] fleeting romance.
[G] Underneath the stars’ sapphire [D] glow,
[C] I held you close, now I [G] have to let go.
