Backstory:
Unwieldy Scale originated in Austin, Texas in the space between atmospheric rock melodies and haunting, lyrical storytelling. The band came together in 2012 when two childhood friends, lead vocalist and guitarist, Jackson ‘Jack’ Morley and bassist, Stanley ‘Stan’ Hutton decided to collaborate, creating a unique sound that resonated with listeners on a deeply emotional level. They were later joined by drummer, Oliver ‘Ollie’ Tatum, who introduced a heavy, rhythmic undertone that perfectly complemented the band’s evolving style. Unwieldy Scale quickly rose from obscurity, playing local gigs and music festivals, to eventually signing with indie record label, ‘Sublime Rhythm’.

Title:
“Veil of Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am | G | F | C
Underneath the veil of shadows,
Am | G | F | C
Where the broken hearted go,
Am | G | F | C
Lies a symphony of sorrows,
Am | G | F | C
In a world we used to know.

(Chorus)
Dm | Am | G | F
In the veil of shadows, we’re dancing,
Dm | Am | G | F
To a melody so cold.
Dm | Am | G | F
With every heartbeat, advancing,
Dm | Am | G | F
In the story that we hold.

(Verse 2)
Am | G | F | C
Through the spectrum of our pain,
Am | G | F | C
We find solace in the rain.
Am | G | F | C
In the shadows, we’re refracting,
Am | G | F | C
A world shrouded in disdain.

(Repeat Chorus)
