Backstory:

The rock band ‘Hoarse Leisure’ was formed by four close friends from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who discovered their shared love for music during their high school years. Originally, they used to jam together in their parents’ garages, covering classic hits and experimenting with their own melodies. What started as a hobby soon turned into a passion, and they decided to take their music to the streets, playing at local bars and cafes. It was during one such performance that they were noticed by a music producer who was just passing through town. Impressed by their talent, the producer invited them to record a demo, and that was the beginning of their journey to fame.

The name ‘Hoarse Leisure’ was a spontaneous choice. One of the band members had lost his voice after a particularly energetic performance and yet decided to sing, resulting in a hoarse, yet strangely charming sound. The others found it amusing and suggested ‘Hoarse Leisure’ as a memory of that night. They feel it perfectly describes their attitude towards music – it’s not about perfection, but the raw, passionate, and laid-back enjoyment of the craft.

Title:

“Unseen Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em C G D
In the light of the setting sun,
Em C G D
Shadows dance, unseen by anyone.
Em C G D
Searching for something more, something real,
Em C G D
Lost in the echoes of how we feel.

(Chorus)
Am C G D
Unseen shadows, silent cries,
Am C G D
In the quiet, truth often lies.
Am C G D
In our hearts, in our souls,
Am C G D
Unseen shadows, unspoken goals.

(Verse 2)
Em C G D
Through the darkness, we find our way,
Em C G D
Chasing dreams at the break of day.
Em C G D
In the silence, in the night,
Em C G D
We find strength, we find light.

(Repeat Chorus)
