Backstory: Worst Promise is an experimental indie band that got its start in the heart of Brooklyn, New York in 2011. The four members, Jason (vocals, keys), Hannah (drums), Michael (guitar), and Sasha (bass), came together at a local music jam at a dive bar, each of them drawn to the other’s unique style and perspective. After a few impromptu jam sessions, they realized they had an undeniable chemistry and decided to form an official band. Worst Promise was born out of this shared dream of creating something profound from their collective musical journey.
Genre: Experimental Indie
Title: ‘Faux Glass Heart’
Lyrics:
Verse 1: (Am, F, C, G)
In the shadows of the city, I met your gaze, (Am, F)
With your faux glass heart and your wanderer’s blaze, (C, G)
You whispered stories in the neon light, (Am, F)
In your smoke-filled lungs, we danced in the night. (C, G)
Chorus: (F, G, Am, C)
Faux glass heart, don’t shatter apart, (F, G)
In the echoes of the city, I hear your art, (Am, C)
Faux glass heart, don’t break in the dark, (F, G)
In the rhythm of the night, I feel your spark. (Am, C)
Verse 2: (Am, F, C, G)
In the dim-lit bars, and the crowded streets, (Am, F)
With your faux glass heart, you skip a beat, (C, G)
In your silence, there is an unresolved song, (Am, F)
In your rhythm, is where I belong. (C, G)
Chorus: (F, G, Am, C)
Faux glass heart, don’t shatter apart, (F, G)
In the echoes of the city, I feel your art, (Am, C)
Faux glass heart, don’t break in the dark, (F, G)
In the rhythm of the night, I found your spark. (Am, C)
