Backstory:
Born out of the vibrant indie scene of Portland, Oregon, the Unselfish Club is a group of friends brought together by their shared passion for music, sustainability, and giving back to their community. The band was formed in 2015 when lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Jake Peterson, met bassist, Kim Fraiser, through a local food co-op. Soon, drummer Max Owens and lead guitarist, Lilly Greene, joined the mix, united by the pursuit of making music that would resonate with a generation yearning for change. The name ‘Unselfish Club’ was chosen to reflect their ethos of using their music to promote altruism and collective action.

Title:
“Seasons of Selflessness”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G C
Woke up early today, under the city’s grey hue,
Am G C
Thoughts of you and me, and our dreams coming true.
F C G
In our small corner, we sow seeds of love,
Am G C
In the heart of the concrete, under the sky above.
(Chorus)
F C G
Through seasons of selflessness, we find our home,
Am G C
In the melody of kindness, in the chords we strum.
F C G
Our hearts resonate, in the rhythm, we create,
Am G C
Our song is our call, it’s never too late.
(Verse 2)
Am G C
We march forward, with our spirits held high,
Am G C
Leaving footprints, under the starry sky.
F C G
Strumming the strings, drumming the beats,
Am G C
Creating a symphony, in the busy streets.
(Chorus)
F C G
Through seasons of selflessness, we find our truth,
Am G C
In every strain, in every note, we look for proof.
F C G
We are the Unselfish Club, we sing for change,
Am G C
Our music is our mission, and it’s our range.

Sarah Johnson, a high school music teacher from Portland, has been a fan since the very beginning. “The Unselfish Club’s music is a beacon of hope for me and my students. Their songs inspire us to be better, to give more, and to seek truth in everything we do. The lyrics to ‘Seasons of Selflessness’ have become a sort of mantra in our classroom, reminding us of the power of unity and selflessness in the face of adversity. I’ve never met musicians who are so committed to not only their craft but also their community. Their music is not just a soundtrack to my life, it’s a call to action.”
