Backstory:
Zigzag Agreement started out in the humble city of Austin, Texas, in 2005. The band members — guitarist Ben Sawyer, drummer Nina White, bassist Eric Douglas, and lead vocalist Lisa Collins — met in high school and bonded over their shared love for music and drive for creative expression. They started out as a garage band, playing at local bars and nightclubs, their music filled with raw energy and passion. Their name ‘Zigzag Agreement’ was born out of a shared sense of quirky humor and a desire to avoid the conventional, just like their music.
Their breakthrough happened in 2008 when they were discovered by a record producer during one of their live performances. Since then, the band has gone on to release multiple albums and perform at music festivals around the world, captivating audiences with their unique sound and electrifying performances.

“Spirals and Echoes”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Down the alley where the shadows play,
[Em] I find my solace at the break of day.
[C] Spirals and echoes, they whisper your name,
[D] In the heartbeats of the city, I’m in the game.
(Chorus)
[G] Spirals and echoes, [D] can’t you see?
[Em] You’re the rhythm, [C] the melody.
[G] Spirals and echoes, [D] in your light,
[Em] We’ll dance together, [C] into the night.
(Verse 2)
[G] Under neon lights, where dreams take flight,
[Em] I weave the tales of our star-kissed night.
[C] Spirals and echoes, in the canvas of time,
[D] I paint your love, in words and rhyme.
(Chorus)
[G] Spirals and echoes, [D] can’t you hear?
[Em] Your song in my heartbeat, [C] loud and clear.
[G] Spirals and echoes, [D] with you near,
[Em] We’ll make a symphony, [C] for the world to hear.
