Backstory:

‘Weary Crayon’ emerged in the vibrant alleys of Bristol, England in the early 2010s. Three friends, high school dropouts with a dream of making music, formed the band. The name ‘Weary Crayon’ came from their shared relatability to a worn-out crayon, constantly being used to create colorful masterpieces but eventually losing its shape and size. They aimed to channel their struggles, dreams, and desires into a musical journey that would resonate with listeners who felt the same.

Their journey has not always been smooth; they’ve faced numerous obstacles, from lineup changes to near breakups. What has remained constant, however, is their commitment to creating music that speaks to the heart. ‘Weary Crayon’ has matured over the years, but their essence of portraying life’s realities through their tunes remains the same.

“Colourless Canvas”

Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

(Verse 1 – C G Am F)
C
I’m a weary crayon in a child’s hand
G
Drawing dreams on a colourless canvas
Am
Made up of hopes, made up of sand
F
In this world where nothing seems to last

(Chorus – G Am F C)
G
I splash colours, I paint the blues
Am
I fade away, I am old news
F
But in your heart, I am brand new
C
On your canvas, I am the hue

(Verse 2 – C G Am F)
C
Old and worn, I’ve lost my shape
G
But I’m still here, it’s never too late
Am
I’ll paint the dawn, I’ll sketch the gate
F
On this colourless canvas, I’ll draw our fate

(Chorus – G Am F C)
G
I splash colours, I paint the blues
Am
I fade away, I am yesterday’s news
F
But in your heart, I am brand new
C
On your canvas, I am the hue

(Bridge – Am F G C)
Am
A weary crayon, a timeless tale
F
In a world that’s often cold and stale
G
But with every stroke, every detail
C
I paint a story that will never pale

(Chorus – G Am F C)
G
I splash colours, I paint the blues
Am
I fade away, I am old news
F
But in your heart, I am brand new
C
On your canvas, I am the hue

Fan Testimonial:

The band’s favorite fan, Jenny O’Brien, has been following them since their earliest days. Jenny, a painter herself, connects deeply with ‘Weary Crayon’s’ music’s rawness and the band’s journey. She says, “There’s a part of ‘Weary Crayon’ in every artist – the struggle, the passion, the drive to create something beautiful even when things are tough. Their music isn’t just tunes to me; it’s a kind of solace. Every song they make is like a brushstroke on my canvas. They’ve been my favorite band since the day I found them busking in a cold Bristol street, and they always will be.”
