Backstory:
Sparse Goal was born from the ashes of a previous band named ‘Thick Hurdle’. The two remaining members, Ken Rios, the self-taught guitarist, and Pat Murphy, who owned a voice that could soothe even the wildest beasts, decided to continue the journey in the world of music. They started from scratch, and in their search for a new sound and identity, ‘Sparse Goal’ was born, reflecting their objective of keeping their music raw, simple and uncluttered while achieving big things.

Their journey was not all roses. They primarily played in empty bars and coffee shops, often to an audience of none. But they were persistent, and slowly but surely, they started gaining recognition. The turning point came when they won the ‘Best Newcomer’ award at the local music festival. From then on, their popularity started climbing, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Genre:
Sparse Goal mainly plays Indie Rock with elements of Folk and Alternative Rock.

Title:
“Waves of Time”

Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse]
G C
Walking down memory lane,
D G
Encircled by the waves of time.
G C
Yearning for the days,
D G
When your smile was all mine.

[Chorus]
C D
In the ocean of life,
G Em
We’re just ships passing by.
C D
Can’t erase the waves of time,
G Em
But I’ll remember your eyes.

[Verse]
G C
The echo of your laughter,
D G
Still resonates in my mind.
G C
Our moments, now mere shadows,
D G
In the fading afternoon sunshine.

[Chorus]
C D
In the ocean of life,
G Em
We’re just ships passing by.
C D
Can’t stop the waves of time,
G Em
But I won’t forget your sigh.

And there’s something about their music that feels so familiar, yet so unique. It’s like they’ve taken the complexity of life, and distilled it into something simple, beautiful, and relatable. Sparse Goal is my favorite band because their music feels genuine and heartfelt, which is quite rare these days.”
