Backstory:

Unacceptable Agreement formed on the stormy shores of Seattle, Washington in late 2002. The band’s inception was an unexpected result of a contentious city council meeting, where members John Keller, Richard Heathcliff, and Sylvia Dorn, coincidentally found each other amidst the chaos. The three, who were there to protest against an unfair property tax increase, instead ended up bonding over shared musical interests in the city hall’s corridors.

Their passion for social justice and music led them to form a band, which they named Unacceptable Agreement, symbolizing their dissent against the status quo. The band’s goal was to create music that challenged conventional thinking, inspired change and questioned authority. Over the years, their music has resonated with a wide audience, making them a staple in the Seattle music scene.

“Raining Dissent”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Am (E) F C G
In the city under clouds, where the shadows stand so tall,
Am (E) F C G
Where the voices of the many, get lost in city hall.

[Chorus]
Dm Am G F
Raining dissent, down the river of the forgotten,
Dm Am G F
Echoing the unheard, the silent, and the rotten.

[Verse 2]
Am (E) F C G
Through the streets of grey, where the dreams are hard to follow,
Am (E) F C G
We play our tunes of rebellion, for a better tomorrow.

[Chorus]
Dm Am G F
Raining dissent, in the heart of the complacent,
Dm Am G F
We’re the voice of the unheard, loud and resonant.

[Bridge]
Dm F C G
Unacceptable Agreement, we stand together,
Dm F C G
With our music as our weapon, we’ll weather any weather.

[Chorus]
Dm Am G F
Raining dissent, we’re the storm that you can’t quiet,
Dm Am G F
Unacceptable Agreement, watch us start a riot.
