Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

Verse:
G G
There was snow, There was snow
C G
Stretched for miles and more
Em D G
Where we buried, where we buried our souls
G G
Oh I long, Oh I long
C G
For them days left and gone
Em D G
Where we sang and where we danced to a brighter song
Em D F#m Em A
But now I look upon a field with bodies stretched out and I feel nothing
Em D F#m D A
But something's burning in my soul I let it lose control and I'm in, Oh God I've sinned
D D
But I tried so hard, and we tried so hard
G G
And it's a long long road, that you told me so
D D
Yeah I tried so hard, to forget where we are

And all we do is laugh and we sing

In valleys low, I hear the trumpets blow

And I'm filled with regret yet I sing
