Backstory:
Witty Board came to life in the bustling streets of Manchester, England, in 2008. Five university friends found their shared love for music and quick-witted lyrics, and decided to jam together in their dorm rooms. As their sound evolved, they began to draw a local following with their energetic performances and unique brand of music, culminating in them winning a local contest to record their first demo. The band is composed of lead vocalist Liam, guitarists Rich and Neil, bassist Terry, and drummer Stuart. Their music is an eclectic mix of their influences, encompassing everything from punk rock to indie pop, with a strong emphasis on clever lyrics and hooks.

Title:
“Checkmate in Two”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – Am, G, D, Em)
I’ve got a rook and a lonely pawn,
In this game of love, I’m just a pawn,
Your king’s on the edge, but my queen’s long gone,
This chessboard heart is where you belong.

(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Checkmate in two, what’s a fool to do?
When you’ve got the king and queen, and I’ve just got you,
Checkmate in two, stuck in this love queue,
One wrong move, and I’m through.

(Verse 2 – Am, G, D, Em)
My castle walls are breaking down,
Your bishop’s smirk, my knight’s frown,
In this game of love, I’m wearing the crown,
But without your love, I’m bound to drown.

(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Checkmate in two, what’s a fool to do?
When you’ve got the knight and bishop, and I’ve got a few,
Checkmate in two, lost in your love hue,
One wrong move, and I’m through.

(Bridge – F, C, Dm, G)
This game of love, it’s a tricky maze,
Your every move, my heart’s ablaze,
Checkmate in two, lost in this haze,
Your love, my endless daze.

(Chorus – C, G, D, Em)
Checkmate in two, what’s a fool to do?
When you’ve got the board, and I’ve got the view,
Checkmate in two, this love I pursue,
One wrong move, and I’m through.

(Outro – Am, G, D, Em)
So here we are, at a stalemate,
In this game of love, you’re my checkmate,
Checkmate in two, it’s never too late,
For a fool in love, to find his mate.

She states, “Witty Board’s music speaks to my soul. Their lyrics are so clever and their tunes catchy, they always leave me wanting more. I’ve seen them grow from performing in small pubs to selling out large venues, and their energy is infectious. I can’t imagine my life without their music!”
