Backstory:

Cooperative Bush was formed in the late 2000’s by a group of four high school friends who shared a common love for music. The members, Jake Thompson (vocals), Luke Evans (guitar), Mark Jones (bass), and Ben Williams (drums), were all born and raised in the small town of Rustville, located in the heart of Texas. They would spend their after-school hours in Jake’s garage, writing songs and playing music. Their shared experiences, dreams, and struggles became the foundation of their bond, which translated into their music. They named themselves ‘Cooperative Bush’, as a nod to their shared belief in unity and the environment.

Genre:
Alternative Rock with a touch of Southern Blues.

Title:
“Shadows in the Sun”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G D Em C
City lights are fading, in the rearview mirror
G D Em C
The highway lies ahead, the road is clear
G D Em C
Looking for redemption, in the land of the free
G D Em C
There are shadows in the sun, only we can see

(Chorus)
G D Em C
Oh, the shadows in the sun
G D Em C
Tell the tales of what we’ve done
G D Em C
In the heartland, under the gun
G D Em C
Chasing dreams, until we’re done

(Verse 2)
G D Em C
Train tracks and dusty roads, beneath our feet
G D Em C
The rhythm of our hearts, a relentless beat
G D Em C
We’ve got our hopes high, and our fears low
G D Em C
With the shadows in the sun, we will grow

Repeat Chorus twice.
