Backstory:
Upset Mint is a quirky group from the eclectic music scene of Austin, Texas, that was established in 2014. The band comprises four members: The charming lead vocalist and guitarist, Jake “Whiskers” Fagan, the funky bassist, Hannah “Breeze” Brenson, the zealous drummer, Lucas “Storm” Stinton, and the radiant keyboardist and backup vocalist, Lila “Harmony” Harlow. Their unique name comes from an inside joke about a bad batch of homemade mint ice cream that became a symbol of the band’s distinctive and refreshing sound and their shared love of culinary adventures.
The band became a local sensation overnight when their first single “Innocence in Chaos” was dropped randomly one Saturday night. It was recorded in their shared basement, using only some old equipment and a whole lot of passion. The rawness and honesty of the track resonated with listeners, and it wasn’t long before they were performing at every local venue that would have them. They continue their journey, bringing their vibrant and raw music to larger audiences while keeping their unique and charming spirit alive.

Title:
“Bittersweet Sundown”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[A] Woke up in the morning with a [G] heavy heart,
[D] Dreamt about you leaving, it [E] tore me apart.
[A] Sipped on my coffee; it’s [G] bittersweet,
[D] Just like our love story, [E] incomplete.
(Chorus)
[F] Bittersweet sundown, [C] on this old town,
[G] Shadows of our love, [D] falling all around.
[F] Echoes of your laughter, [C] lost in the wind,
[G] This is where it ends, [D] where it all begins.
(Verse 2)
[A] Walked the streets we used to [G] stroll,
[D] Love faded just like that, how [E] it took a toll.
[A] The scent of mint upset, [G] mingled with regret,
[D] Memories of us, too [E] intense, too upset.
(Chorus)
[F] Bittersweet sundown, [C] on our worn-out path,
[G] Images of you and me, [D] remnants of our wrath.
[F] Silence of the night, [C] whispers of our sin,
[G] This is where it starts, [D] where it all ends in.
(Outro)
[A] Bittersweet sundown, [G] our love gone astray,
[D] In the heart of the night, [E] at the break of the day.
