Biography:
Nine Days is a power pop/rock band that was popular in the early 00s. Formed in New York by musicians John Hampson and Brian Desveaux in 1994, they released three albums independently during the 90s before their mainstream debut album, 'The Madding Crowd', was released in 2000. Their greatest popularity came from a handful of songs from said album (which took its title from the 1874 romantic drama novel 'Far From the Madding Crowd') such as the tracks "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" and "If I Am".

[Verse 1]
G
Before we get to far ahead of ourselves
G
Go back to when we couldn't reach the top shelf

Look at this pictures up and down the stairs

I was there
G
This one's a memory I'll never forget

Me and your ...

Just look at the sunlight bouncing off her hair
G
I was there
[Pre-Chorus]

You can tell a lot from a snapshot

But there's nothing like living it
[Chorus]

Life is the stories we tell that you know so well

Looking back over your shoulder
