Backstory:
Stupid Cottage came to life in the bustling city of San Francisco, California, during the spring of 2010. The band was the brainchild of two college friends, Dennis Fenton and Brian O’Neal, who shared a passion for creating music that transcended the mainstream. One day, in their cramped, ramshackle student apartment they affectionately dubbed “Stupid Cottage”, they began jamming— and the rest was history.

Their undeniable chemistry and distinctive sound quickly caught the attention of the local music scene. Determined to make a name for themselves, they recruited two more members, Jessica Lyn and Sammy Richards, completing their unique lineup. Today, Stupid Cottage is celebrated for their evocative lyrics, memorable melodies, and the ways they challenge the boundaries of traditional music genres.

Title:
“Yesterday’s Rain”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
G Em C D
[G] I stepped outside, [Em] to breathe in the air
[C] Filled with yesterday’s rain, [D] and the promise it bears
[G] Remnants of memories, [Em] scattered around
[C] Echoes of laughter, [D] a familiar sound

Chorus:
G D Em C
[G] Yesterday’s rain, [D] washing away
[Em] The pain of the past, [C] bringing a new day
[G] Yesterday’s rain, [D] a sweet refrain
[Em] Reminding us all, [C] we can start again

Verse 2:
G Em C D
[G] In the puddles we danced, [Em] freedom in our heart
[C] Yesterday’s rain, [D] a work of art
[G] Painting the canvas, [Em] of our little town
[C] Imprinting stories, [D] without a sound

Repeat Chorus
