Backstory:
Wilted Story, formed in 2007, is the brainchild of four high-school friends from the rustic town of Boulder, Colorado. The close-knit group, comprising Alice Johnson (vocals), Liam Smith (lead guitar), Ethan Martinez (drums), and Victoria Adams (bass), drew their inspiration from their shared experiences, the ups and downs of small-town life, and their own unique perspectives on world events. They started creating music in Alice’s garage, and their sound, born from shared laughter, midnight coffees, and long heart-to-heart discussions, quickly resonated with listeners and turned the heads of industry insiders.
In their early years, Wilted Story made waves in the local music scene, eventually attracting the attention of Indie label “Whispering Pines.” Their music, a seamless alchemy of raw emotion and edgy instrumentation, proved to be the crux of their increasing popularity. As of today, Wilted Story has released three albums, each a testament to their evolving sound, profound storytelling abilities, and deepening bond as a band.

Title:
“Autumn’s Lullaby”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
G Em
Beneath the crimson leaves, where we used to play,
C D G
I found our wilted story, etched in shades of gray.
G Em
The echoes of our laughter, still linger in the air,
C D G
In the silence of the season, I can feel you there.
(Chorus)
C D G Em
Autumn’s lullaby, sings our tale so sweet,
C D G D
Of love that bloomed and withered, with the summer’s heat.
C D G Em
In every falling leaf, in every whispered sigh,
C D G
I can hear your voice in Autumn’s lullaby.
(Verse 2)
G Em
The promise of forever, now just a fleeting trace,
C D G
Lost in the rustling leaves, of our sacred place.
G Em
As the winter approaches, cold and unforgiving,
C D G
Our wilted story lives on, in the heart that’s still beating.
(Chorus)
C D G Em
Autumn’s lullaby, sings our tale so sweet,
C D G D
Of love that bloomed and withered, with the summer’s heat.
C D G Em
In every falling leaf, in every whispered sigh,
C D G
I can hear your voice in Autumn’s lullaby.
