Backstory:

Sweet Dismissal was formed in 2016 in the heart of Los Angeles, California. The members – lead vocalist Jenna Greene, guitarist Taylor Swift, bassist Richie Adams, and drummer Kevin Mitchell – met at a local coffee shop during an open mic night. Their shared love for music and passion for expressing their emotions through it led them to form the band. They named themselves “Sweet Dismissal” to symbolize their bittersweet journey, dismissing hardships and adversity with the sweetness of music.

The band got their big break when a local radio station played one of their demo tracks. Overnight, they became LA’s newest sensation. Now with two studio albums under their belt, Sweet Dismissal has built a reputation for their emotional lyrics, lush melodies, and powerful performances.

Genre:

Sweet Dismissal’s music can be classified as Indie Pop with a hint of Alternative Rock.

Title:
“Letters to Yesterday”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am G D
Summer breeze, memories,
C Am
letters penned to yesterday.
Am G D
Old love songs, rights and wrongs,
C Am
aren’t they all just castaways?

(Chorus)
G D Em C
Oh, yesterday, sweet yesterday,
G D Em C
Why do you haunt my dreams?
G D Em C
Bittersweet echoes, play and replay,
G D Em C
In the theater of my mind.

(Verse 2)
Am G D
Moon-lit tales, fairy trails,
C Am
Washed away by time’s dismay.
Am G D
Laughter’s trace, warm embrace,
C Am
Are they lost or merely astray?

(Chorus)
G D Em C
Oh, yesterday, sweet yesterday,
G D Em C
Why do you cloud my sight?
G D Em C
A dance of shadows, fade and grow,
G D Em C
In the canvas of my night.
