Backstory:

Wry Cow was formed in the small town of Daleville, Oregon in the autumn of 2013. The founding members, high school friends, Remy Carlisle (vocals/guitar) and Felix Archer (drums), were childhood buddies who bonded over their love for alternative rock music and their disenchantment with the predictability of their rural life. For them, music was a means of expressing the wry humor and sardonic wit that characterized their friendship. They were later joined by Charlotte “Charlie” Irwin (bass), a tough-as-nails cowgirl with a knack for creating deep, driving bass lines.

The trio quickly gained local recognition for their quirky name, inspired by a cow tipping prank gone wrong, and their unique musical style. They transformed their frustration with their mundane surroundings into a cathartic blend of alternative rock and indie pop, laced with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and infectious melodies. Their music captured the hearts of the locals, and soon, their fame began to spread beyond the borders of Daleville.

Genre:

Indie Pop/Alternative Rock

Song Title:

“Pasture of Blunders”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1: C-G-Am-F)
C
Down in the valley where the shadows loom,
G
Finds our hero, belly up in a monochrome room.
Am
Another night, another blunder to flaunt,
F
In this pasture of life, where dreams are gaunt.

(Chorus: Am-G-F-C)
Am
So, raise a glass to the wry cow,
G
Living on a prayer, tipping over now.
F
In a world of mistakes, we’ve found our place,
C
In this pasture of blunders, we embrace.

(Verse 2: C-G-Am-F)
C
Charlie sings the blues on her old bass line,
G
Felix drums the rhythm, lost in time.
Am
Remy strums the chords of our hopes and fears,
F
In this symphony of life, where joy adheres.

(Chorus: Am-G-F-C)
Am
So, raise a glass to the wry cow,
G
Dancing on the edge, taking the bow.
F
In a world of mistakes, we’ve carved our space,
C
In this pasture of blunders, we trace.
