Backstory:
Belated Silver came into existence in the quaint city of Asheville, North Carolina, in 2014. The band was the brainchild of four local musicians: guitarist Randy Stevens, bassist Emily Dufresne, drummer Jamie Martin, and vocalist and keyboardist, Ethan Bell. They were all friends who had been playing music independently in various other bands, but found an undeniable chemistry when they decided to jam together one fateful night. Inspired by their shared love of music and the magic that came from their combined talents, they decided to form Belated Silver.
As the band continued to play, their fan base grew steadily, and they started to gain recognition beyond Asheville. Once they released their debut album in 2016, the band had a breakthrough. Belated Silver’s distinct sound and lyrical profundity resonated with many, and they went from playing in local bars to touring nationally. The band continues to make waves in the music scene, charming audiences with their soulful performances and unique sound.

“Silver Lining’s Song”
Full Song Lyrics:
(V)
[G] As the [C] moon hides behind the [G] cloud, [Em]
[G] The world seems [C] unclear, and I’m [D] feeling down,
[G] But then I [C] hear your [G] whisper in the [Em] wind,
[G] And suddenly, [C] it all makes [D] sense again.
(CH)
[Em] You’re my [C] silver lining, [G] my saving [D] grace,
[Em] Through the [C] storm, you’re my [G] peaceful [D] place.
[Em] With your [C] melody, you [G] set me [D] free,
[Em] You’re my [C] silver lining, [G] my harmony [D].
(V)
[G] When the [C] world gets too [G] loud, [Em]
[G] And I’m lost in [C] the maddening [D] crowd,
[G] I find solace [C] in your [G] song, [Em]
[G] It’s with your [C] music, I truly [D] belong.
(CH)
[Em] You’re my [C] silver lining, [G] my saving [D] grace,
[Em] Through the [C] storm, you’re my [G] peaceful [D] place.
[Em] With your [C] melody, you [G] set me [D] free,
[Em] You’re my [C] silver lining, [G] my harmony [D].
