about

This song started from a simple idea "The band that never met."
The writing of the first version of the lyrics and the music took only two days at the beginning of February 2022, but the recording process and, especially, the mixing took a long, long time.

Personally, I'm very proud of this song, it's the kind of song that would be fun to perform live, and the sound of the mix reflects this a bit.

lyrics

George had music in his soul
Pianos did his bidding
Worthy of the Royal Albert Hall
And no no, I'm not kidding

J and Spike could groove the beat
Steady and on point
No, no one would stay in their seat
When these two rock the joint
When these two rock the joint

They were the perfect band
Well-fitted parts that made it whole
Their music, like the promised land
Could soothe a crying soul
Could soothe a crying soul

Kayla felt not young nor old
Lived her life to the fullest
Travelled all around the world
Her friends nicknamed her "coolest"

She wrote lyrics from the heart
Overflowing notebook pages
Like a timeless abstract piece of art
Touching people of all ages
Touching people of all ages

They were the perfect band (perfect band)
Well-fitted parts that made it whole
Their music, like the promised land
Could soothe a crying soul
Could soothe a crying soul

In a world that just wants "more"
Better, "more of the same"
Muffled echoes of encore
Reverberate in Halls of Fame
Where music never changes

They were the perfect band (perfect band)
Well-fitted parts that made it whole
Their music, like the promised land
Could soothe a crying soul

They were the perfect band
Well-fitted parts that made it whole
Their music, like the promised land
Could soothe a crying soul
Could soothe a crying soul

They could've been the perfect band
Had they ever met
