Backstory:
Jealous Focus was born in the vibrant city of Manchester, UK, in the late 2010s. The band is composed of four childhood friends: lead vocalist and guitarist, Brian Hart, bassist, Ethan Smith, drummer, Oliver Davis, and keyboardist, Zoe Miller. They were all passionate about music from a young age, and their collective influences range from iconic rock bands of the 70s to the alternative rock movement of the 90s. The band’s phenomenal story began when they won a local Battle of the Bands contest, catching the attention of a scout who was keen on signing fresh talent. This was the turning point for Jealous Focus, propelling them from small local gigs to playing at some of the most prestigious music festivals in Europe.
Their story has not been all smooth sailing, though, as they’ve had their share of ups and downs like any typical band. They’ve struggled with creative differences, financial instability, and the pressure that comes with fame. However, their shared passion for music and strong bond as friends have kept them together, driving their creative journey forward. Today, Jealous Focus is recognized for their distinctive sound and raw, emotional lyrics, captivating audiences worldwide.

Title:
“Shadows of Yesterday”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G Am E
Shadows of yesterday, linger in my mind,
F C G
Echoes of laughter, we left behind.
C G Am E
Memories shatter, like fragile glass,
F C G
Love was our canvas, but it didn’t last.
(Chorus)
F G Am E
Now we’re just shadows, shadows of yesterday,
F C G
Haunting the corners, where our love used to play.
(Verse 2)
C G Am E
Your eyes like starlight, now distant and cold,
F C G
Our hearts in winter, stories untold.
C G Am E
Promises broken, dreams turned to dust,
F C G
In the shadows, there’s only us.
(Chorus)
F G Am E
Now we’re just shadows, shadows of yesterday,
F C G
Lost in the silence, where our song used to play.
(Outro)
C G Am E
Shadows of yesterday, a love that was our own,
F C G
Now we’re just echoes, in a song that’s flown.
