Backstory:
Unlucky Bread was formed in the basement of a bakery in Portland, Oregon in 2010. The band’s founding members, guitarist/vocalist Ryan “Rye” Baker and drummer Danny “Dough” Miller, were employees at the bakery and started jamming out in their downtime. One day, the bakery experienced a huge financial mishap, which they jokingly referred to as their “unlucky bread” incident. They decided to use the name for their band as a symbol of turning negatives into positives. Soon after, they were joined by bassist Jenny “Jam” Rollins, and keyboardist Adam “Crust” Thompson, fully forming their line-up.

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Waking up to the [C] scent of dawn, [Em] mixing dreams with [D] reality,
[G] Kneading life like a dough, [C] under the bakery’s [D] canopy.

(Chorus)
[G] We are the rising yeast, [C] in life’s challenging feast,
[Em] Rising above the hate, [D] defining our own fate,
[G] With every loaf we bake, [C] every chance we take,
[Em] We are the rising yeast, [D] in life’s challenging feast.

(Verse 2)
[G] Dusting flour on our [C] dreams, [Em] shaping them in the [D] oven’s heat,
[G] we’re the unlikely champions, [C] marching to our own [D] beat.

(Chorus)
[G] We are the rising yeast, [C] in life’s challenging feast,
[Em] Rising above the hate, [D] defining our own fate,
[G] With every loaf we bake, [C] every chance we take,
[Em] We are the rising yeast, [D] we won’t accept defeat.
