Backstory:
Modest Practice was formed in 2015 in the bustling city of Austin, Texas. The members, high school friends John Hartman (vocals, guitar), Kyle Meritt (drums), Sarah Dennison (bass), and Mandy Simons (keyboard, backing vocals), decided to pursue their shared love for music after graduating. They started playing in local bars and small venues, refining their sound, hence the name Modest Practice. Their first break came when they were noticed by a talent scout at a music festival in 2016. Since then, they have been steadily climbing the ranks in the music industry, maintaining their humble attitude and passion for their craft.

Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
G C G D
In this sleepy town where dreams intertwine,
G C G D
Where we shared our secrets, your hand in mine.
G C G D
Through the endless days and suburban sunsets,
G C G D
We found a place where hearts can rest.
Chorus:
C G D Em
In the warmth of the sun, we became one,
C G D Em
Our love reflected in the horizon.
C G D Em
Every sunset with you, feels so new,
C G D Em
In the glow of the suburban sunsets, I found you.
Verse 2:
G C G D
You walked with me on these familiar streets,
G C G D
Your laughter echoing in my heart’s beats.
G C G D
These suburban sunsets, forever in our sights,
G C G D
With you by my side, everything feels right.
