Backstory:
Witty Error, a group of four talented musicians, first came together in the bustling college town of Austin, Texas. The band was formed in 2015, when lead guitarist and vocalist, Jake Reynolds, met drummer, Miles Sullivan, in a local coffee shop where they began discussing their mutual passion for music. They soon teamed up with bassist, Lily Carmichael, and keyboardist, Ryan Douglas, and began creating music that would soon catch the attention of the local music scene.
These four musicians, all students at the University of Texas, started playing at small gigs around the Austin area, quickly catching the attention of the local music lovers. Their unique combination of sharp lyrics, compelling melodies, and vibrant stage presence earned them a rapidly growing fan base. With the support and love of their fans, the band released their debut album in 2018, which further established them as one of Austin’s most exciting new bands.

“Broken Compass”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am G F C
Lost in the city of forgotten dreams,
Am G F C
Found a broken compass and a pair of jeans.
Am G F C
Lit up the night with a paper sun,
Am G F C
Running out of time, but we’ve only just begun.
(Chorus)
G Am F C
Broken compass, guide me home,
G Am F C
In the chaos, I feel alone.
G Am F C
Stars are falling, and we’re lost at sea,
G Am F C
Broken compass, bring me back to me.
(Verse 2)
Am G F C
Miles of highway under moonlit skies,
Am G F C
Chasing the dawn with sleepless eyes.
Am G F C
We’re burning bridges, starting fires,
Am G F C
Witty Error singing to the night’s desires.
(Chorus)
G Am F C
Broken compass, guide me home,
G Am F C
In the chaos, I feel alone.
G Am F C
Stars are falling, and we’re lost at sea,
G Am F C
Broken compass, bring me back to me.
