Backstory:
Hailing from the heart of Austin, Texas, Spirited Pleasure was formed in the summer of 2010 by lead singer, Carter “CJ” James, and drummer, Travis O’Connell. CJ, a local bartender, and Travis, a substitute teacher, found a shared love for music over a few beers at a local pub. The two quickly became friends and decided to form a band that reflected their shared love for music and a passion for life. They were later joined by keyboardist Gina Rodriguez, another local with a flair for blues, and bass guitarist, Riley Thompson. Spirited Pleasure, inspired by their eclectic taste and a shared desire to make people feel good through their music, is a true embodiment of their name.

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C Am
The sun was shining, the sky was blue,
F G
We were young, with nothing to do.
C Am
We had the road, we had time,
F G
With the radio on, life was fine.

(Chorus)
C Am
Summer’s sweet symphony, weaving a memory,
F G
Of love, laughter, and you and me,
C Am
Through the wind, under the sun,
F G
In our hearts, we’re forever young.

(Verse 2)
C Am
The sand beneath, the waves above,
F G
Summer was our time for love.
C Am
In the rearview, sunset glow,
F G
Where we’re heading, only we know.

(Chorus)
C Am
Summer’s sweet symphony, weaving a memory,
F G
Of love, laughter, and you and me,
C Am
Through the wind, under the sun,
F G
In our hearts, we’re forever young.

Bridge:
C Am
With the map unfolded wide,
F G
We’ve got no secrets to hide.

(Chorus)
C Am
Summer’s sweet symphony, weaving a memory,
F G
Of love, laughter, and you and me,
C Am
Through the wind, under the sun,
F G
In our hearts, we’re forever young.

Outro:
C Am
As the day turns into night,
F G
With the stars as our only light,
C Am
We’ll keep driving, we’ll keep free,
F G
In the heart of our summer’s sweet symphony.
