Backstory:

Modest Ladybug was formed in the small Midwest town of Oakgrove. The band’s origins stem from a chance meeting at a local farmers market, where lead singer Sarah Thompson crossed paths with drummer and guitarist duo, brothers David and Samuel Jenkins. Sarah was performing her solo act, a mix of folk and indie tunes, when David and Samuel were drawn to her haunting voice and raw lyrics. They offered to accompany her on a few songs, and the crowd went wild. The trio recognized the unique synergy they shared, and the humble beginnings of Modest Ladybug were born.

Their journey was not without challenges. Being from a small town, opportunities were few, but their genuine passion and craft kept them going. They busked on street corners, performed at small-town festivals, and slowly but surely garnered a loyal fan base. Modest Ladybug became known for their authentic sound and heartfelt lyrics, capturing the essence of small-town life and universal human emotions.

Title:

“Under the Chestnut Tree”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1: (C – G – Am – F)
Under the chestnut tree, where the sun refused to be,
We found solace in our dreams, a ladybug and me.
Her shell a tiny world, my heart a troubled sea,
Life unfolds in swirls, under the chestnut tree.

Chorus: (Am – F – C – G)
Ladybug, ladybug, oh so modest and so small,
In your silence, I found a voice, in your presence, I stood tall.
Ladybug, ladybug, under the chestnut tree,
Teach me to be courageous, teach me to be free.

Verse 2: (C – G – Am – F)
With the setting of the sun, the ladybug takes flight,
Leaving me beneath the stars, alone in the night.
Yet her memory lingers on, a beacon shining bright,
Under the chestnut tree, in the soft moonlight.

Chorus: (Am – F – C – G)
Ladybug, ladybug, oh so modest and so small,
In your silence, I found a voice, in your presence, I stood tall.
Ladybug, ladybug, under the chestnut tree,
Teach me to be courageous, teach me to be free.
