The story
Long-Term Grip, fondly known as LTG, was formed in 2010. It began with three childhood friends - Ryan, Jake, and Oliver - from a small town in Illinois, who shared an undying passion for music. During their college years, they started playing at local pubs and eventually caught the attention of a well-known music producer who was visiting his hometown. The band moved to Los Angeles in 2012 and released their first self-titled album, which was met with positive reviews and commercial success.
Long-Term Grip has become a popular name in the Alternative Rock genre.
Their breakout single is “Holding on to Memories.
Verse 1 [C] Sifting through the old times, [G] stuck in my mind, [D] Remembering the laughter, [Em] the love we left behind. [F] Can't help but reminisce, [C] about the days of youth, [G] When we were invincible, [D] basking in our truth. Chorus [F] Holding on to memories, [C] like a grip so strong, [G] Aiming for the stars, [D] even if we're wrong. [F] Chasing dreams and fantasies, [C] in the songs we sing, [G] With every beat of melody, [D] our hearts will ring. Verse 2 [C] The walls are painted with our tales, [G] of victories and fails, [D] Our journey seems so long, [Em] like endless ocean sails. [F] But with each passing moment, [C] we see the rising sun, [G] And know our tale isn't over, [D] it's only just begun. Chorus [F] Holding on to memories, [C] like a grip so strong, [G] We're riding on this journey, [D] where we belong. [F] And as we chase our dreams, [C] with every song we sing, [G] The melody will echo on, [D] in every heart it rings.
