1. The Backstory:

Willing Commissioner was formed in the grunge-soaked musical landscape of early 1990s Seattle. The band members – vocalist and guitarist Jacob Stirling, bassist Benjamin Hersh, drummer Jeremy Creed, and keyboardist Tina Littlewood – met while working at the same music store, drawn together by their shared love for obscure 70s prog rock and 80s post-punk.

Starting out in the dingy basements of Seattle, they soon began to gather local notoriety for their innovative sound and frenzied live performances. Their music was a refreshing departure from the mainstream, blending the raw energy of grunge with the intricate songwriting of prog rock and the emotional resonance of post-punk. After a successful debut album, they’ve been touring non-stop and winning fans over with their distinct sound and relentless passion.

4. Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
On the edge of the city skyline, I’m about to dive,
Into the abyss of the unknown, leaving all behind.
Shadows cast their veils, but I’m not blind,
I see the universe unfolding, in my mind.

(Chorus)
I’m in freefall into the unknown,
No fear of where I’m going, I’ve outgrown,
The chains of the familiar, now I’m shown,
A world of possibilities, my own.

(Verse 2)
The cosmic winds are whispering, in a language only hearts can know,
Through the nebulae and quasars, I continue to sow,
Seeds of dreams in the fabric of space-time,
Till a garden of galaxies begins to climb.

(Chorus)
I’m in freefall into the unknown,
Embracing chaos, letting the seeds be thrown,
Into the foundations of the cosmos, I’ve flown,
Feeling the heartbeat of the universe, my own.

(Bridge)
Every star I pass in my descent,
Is a tale of time, of love, of lament,
I weave these stories into my flight,
Guided by the constellations’ light.

(Chorus)
I’m in freefall into the unknown,
Casting off the safety of the known,
Diving into the cosmic sea, I’ve grown,
Into a being of stardust, all alone.

(Outro)
So here I am, in freefall, into the unknown,
A willing commissioner, exploring zones,
Where no man has dared to wander, I roam,
Discovering the secrets of the cosmic dome.
