Backstory:
Strident Tray began its journey in the backwoods of Minnesota, where a group of high school friends discovered their shared passion for music and rebellious spirit. The lead singer, Jake, together with his pals, Mike on the bass, Pete on the drums, and Ben on the guitar, began to jam out in their parents’ basements, garages, and anywhere else they could make noise. Over time, their raw, unsophisticated style evolved into a unique sound that transcended boundaries, all while staying true to their roots. They started playing at local bars, then small concert venues and before they knew it, they were on the road, bringing their infectious melodies to a nationwide audience.

Full song lyrics:
Verse:
[Am] Wandering through the [G] cosmos, you and [F] I,
[Am] Dancing in the [G] moonlight, beneath the [F] starry sky.
[Am] Lost in a [G] universe, where [F] love is the only guide,
[Am] Cosmic love [G] affair, [F] we’re on a stellar ride.

[C] Hold my hand as we [G] float through space,

[C] Shooting stars and [G] milky ways,
[Am] In your arms, I want to [F] stay.
Verse:
[Am] Zooming past the [G] planets, in our [F] spaceship made of dreams,
[Am] Our hearts beating [G] in unison, [F] echoing through the seams.
[Am] A voyage of [G] discovery, in [F] a realm where magic streams,
[Am] Cosmic love [G] affair, [F] we’re on a journey it seems.
Chorus:
[C] Hold my hand as we [G] float through space,
[Am] A love like ours can’t be [F] replaced.
[C] Shooting stars and [G] milky ways,
[Am] In your arms, I want to [F] stay.

Testimonial – Lucy:
“I’ve always been drawn to Strident Tray’s music because it speaks directly to my soul. Their songs are not just melodies with catchy hooks, they are stories of real experiences and feelings. ‘Cosmic Love Affair’ has a special place in my heart – it takes me on an out-of-this-world journey each time I listen to it. It’s like an escape from reality, a surreal voyage into a world where love is the only thing that matters. The raw emotion in Jake’s voice, combined with the band’s exceptional instrumentals, resonates with me on a deep level. Strident Tray is more than just a band to me, they’re life’s soundtrack.”
