Song Title: “Baselines & Heartbreak” Genre: Funk-rock with a splash of melancholic California soul Tempo: Groovy verses, soaring melodic chorus, a breakdown with a Flea-style bass solo ⸻ 🎶 Song Description: “Baselines & Heartbreak” rides a laid-back, syncopated groove as it tells the long-suffering tale of Clippers fandom — all under the hazy sun of Los Angeles. The verses are funky and conversational, full of basketball metaphors and lyrical swagger, while the chorus opens up into a soulful cry of loyalty and disappointment. Think “Under the Bridge” meets “Can’t Stop”, it’s about blown leads, empty banners, and the strange identity of being not quite Lakers in a city that barely looks your way.
The image features a man wearing a purple and yellow jersey, possibly representing the Los Angeles Clippers. He has a beard and appears to be staring into the distance, possibly reflecting on the team's performance or his personal connection to the sport. The man is the main focus of the image, with the rest of the scene being a mix of colors and patterns, creating a vibrant and dynamic backdrop.

Verse 1: Got the court lights burnin', summer night in L.A. But we’re chasin’ shadows, and the sun just fades away Got a jersey on, but my heart’s a little worn Another season’s come and gone, another dream’s been torn Bounce that ball, hit that shot, but we lose it all the same Every time we get close, we just run from the flame You can hear the echoes, you can feel the pain We’re just left with the banners that will never bring fame Chorus: Baselines and heartbreak, still we stand tall Loyal to the rhythm, we’ll never fall Underneath the bruises, we play through the rain Can’t stop believin’, though it never feels the same Verse 2: I’ve been walkin’ down these streets, where the Lakers shine bright But my Clippers keep fightin’, always out of sight Yeah, we’re the underdogs, but we’re still holdin’ tight Chasin’ down glory in the pale moonlight But it’s empty banners in the rafters above Can we get a ring? Nah, just a little love We keep pushin’, but the pain still stings Like a missed dunk in the final swing Chorus: Baselines and heartbreak, still we stand tall Loyal to the rhythm, we’ll never fall Underneath the bruises, we play through the rain Can’t stop believin’, though it never feels the same Bridge (Bass Solo Breakdown): [Instrumental bass solo, Flea-style] Chorus (Reprise): Baselines and heartbreak, still we stand tall Loyal to the rhythm, we’ll never fall Underneath the bruises, we play through the rain Can’t stop believin’, though it never feels the same Outro: Yeah, the sun sets low, but we still shoot for the stars Baselines and heartbreak, we carry the scars We carry the scars.
