Backstory:
Valuable Bat was formed in a small garage in Portland, Oregon, in 2008. The band’s five members, all childhood friends, found a shared passion in music after discovering a box of old records in one of their parents’ attics. From those dusty LPs, they found their calling, spending countless hours together refining their sound, writing songs, and dreaming of taking their music to the world.
In 2010, they played their first show at a local music festival, immediately catching attention due to their unique sound and contagious energy. Encouraged by the positive response, they doubled down on their efforts, releasing their first EP in 2012. Valuable Bat quickly became a staple in the Pacific Northwest music scene, and their reach has since expanded across the nation.

Lunar Shadows
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Once upon a midnight dreary [D]
[G] Underneath the lunar glow [C]
[G] I found my heart in pieces [D]
[G] Lost in the shadows below [C]
(Chorus)
[D] Lunar shadows, [C] take me home
[G] To the place where [D] my heart roams
[E] In the night, under [A] stars so bright
[D] Lunar shadows, [C] be my light
(Verse 2)
[G] Whispers of the wind so lonely [D]
[G] Carry secrets of the heart [C]
[G] In the silence of the night [D]
[G] I find my courage to start [C]
(Chorus)
[D] Lunar shadows, [C] guide my way
[G] Through the night and [D] into day
[E] With your light, [A] I’ll take flight
[D] Lunar shadows, [C] endless night
