Backstory:
Merry Professional is an indie band founded in the charming city of Portland, Oregon. The band consists of four members: lead vocalist and guitarist Jake, drummer Adrian, bass guitarist Elias, and keyboardist Sara. They were all colleagues working at a local marketing firm, often spending long hours together. One day, after a particularly grueling project, they decided to unwind with a makeshift jam session in the office. The chemistry was palpitable and thus, Merry Professional was born. They’ve been playing music together for five years now, and their blend of reflective lyrics and melodic soundscapes has earned them a dedicated local fan base.

Title:
“Office Daydreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] I stare at the clock, [D] it’s half past three,
[Am] Still got hours left, [C] in this concrete sea.
[G] My heart’s not here, [D] it’s on a stage,
[Am] Playing to a crowd, [C] breaking free from the cage.
(Chorus)
[G] Office Daydreams, [D] take me away,
[Am] To the rhythm and the strum, [C] where I truly stay.
[G] Office Daydreams, [D] keep me alive,
[Am] In the nine to five grind, [C] helps me survive.
(Verse 2)
[G] Spreadsheet maze, [D] and coffee cups,
[Am] My mind wanders off, [C] when the sun goes up.
[G] With every chord, [D] and every word,
[Am] I find my peace, [C] in a melody unheard.
(Chorus)
[G] Office Daydreams, [D] my secret song,
[Am] Amidst the corporate rush, [C] where I belong.
[G] Office Daydreams, [D] my heart’s refrain,
[Am] In the chaos and noise, [C] you soothe my pain.
Testimonial:
My name is Hannah, and I’m probably the biggest Merry Professional fan out there. I discovered them during a local gig in a Portland bar, and their music resonated with my own office life. Their song “Office Daydreams” is like an anthem for me. It helps me get through those tough weekdays when it feels like I’m living for the weekend. Their empathetic, relatable lyrics and their soothing indie-pop melodies never fail to put me at ease. To me, Merry Professional is more than a band; it’s a beacon of light in the humdrum of everyday work life.
