The band comprises of Jack “Jazz” Jensen on vocals and rhythm guitar, Lily “Lightning” Lancaster on lead guitar, Mark “Mellow” Matthews on bass, and “Drumming” Dave Davidson on drums. Born out of a shared dorm room, their music journey started with impromptu jam sessions that eventually led to a successful Youtube channel. After gaining a loyal following online, they finally decided to pursue their passion full-time and released their first EP in 2018.

(Verse 1)
[C] Underneath the [D] starry night, [G] lost in the [Em] city lights
[C] Finding solace [D] in this endless [G] fight, [Em] hoping for the right sleep [D] tonight
[Am] Conversations with the [D] moon, [G] whispering secrets [C] to the tune
[Am] Waiting for the [D] morning’s boon, [G] hoping it will come [D] soon
(Chorus)
[G] Sing me to sleep, [D] midnight’s lullaby
[Em] A melody so deep, [C] beneath the twilight sky
[G] Hold me tight, [D] don’t let me weep
[Em] Oh, give me the [C] right sleep
(Verse 2)
[C] Chasing the [D] break of dawn, [G] with dreams to [Em] draw upon
[C] Struggling till the [D] pain is gone, [G] singing our hearts out [D] till the morn
(Chorus)
[G] Sing me to sleep, [D] midnight’s lullaby
[Em] A melody so deep, [C] beneath the twilight sky
[G] Hold me tight, [D] don’t let me weep
[Em] Oh, give me the [C] right sleep
(Bridge)
[Am] Lost in this [Em] silent night, [D] we find our [G] peaceful fight
[Am] As the stars [Em] shine bright, [D] we’ll find the right sleep [G] tonight
(Chorus)
[G] Sing me to sleep, [D] midnight’s lullaby
[Em] A melody so deep, [C] beneath the twilight sky
[G] Hold me tight, [D] don’t let me weep
[Em] Oh, give me the [C] right sleep
[End on G]
