Backstory:
Ornery Trick is a band that began as a fleeting idea in the humble basement of a Wisconsin suburb. Childhood friends, Greg Miles and Larry Williams, found solace in their shared love for music and embarked on a journey to form a band in their teenage years. Initially, they played covers of their favorite songs, but soon the duo started creating their own music. In pursuit of their dreams, they moved to New York, where they met Petra Collins, an accomplished bass guitarist. Together, they formed Ornery Trick and began to make waves in the indie music scene with their unique fusion of gritty rock and heartfelt folk music.

Title:
“Demystified Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Wandering lanes of [D] a painted town,
[Am] Lost in thoughts of [C] a merry go round,
[G] Memories of yesterday [D] still seem so profound,
[Am] We were kings and queens, [C] wearing plastic crowns.
(Chorus)
[D] Those were the times, [G] of demystified dreams,
[C] Chasing the sun, [Am] amidst the melodious screams,
[D] Now, we’re just echoes, [G] of what we had been,
[C] Lost in the rhythm, [Am] of a worn-out theme.
(Verse 2)
[G] Broken guitars and [D] tales of old,
[Am] Singing our hearts, [C] for stories untold,
[G] In the mirror of time, [D] we grow so cold,
[Am] Yet, our songs remain, [C] ever so bold.
(Chorus)
[D] Those were the times, [G] of demystified dreams,
[C] Running wild, [Am] tearing at the seams,
[D] We’re mere shadows, [G] in the moon’s soft beams,
[C] Lost in the echoes, [Am] of silent screams.

“Ornery Trick isn’t just a band for me; they symbolize my journey through life. Their music is the soundtrack to my triumphs and losses. What sets them apart is their ability to blend raw rock energy with the soulful honesty of folk music. Every song speaks directly to my soul. Their track, ‘Demystified Dreams,’ resonates with me on a personal level. It’s like they’ve put my life into words and composed a melody around it. I simply can not imagine a day without their music.”
