Backstory:

Founded in the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle, Oblong Talent is a quartet of musicians who dared to defy the conventional norms of the music industry. The band members were all students at the local community college when they discovered their mutual love for music. The name “Oblong Talent” was coined during a late-night jam session, symbolizing their offbeat style, non-standard thinking, and abundant musical skill.

Oblong Talent quickly gained popularity for their unique blend of music and thought-provoking lyrics. The band members – Jake (vocals/guitar), Tamara (bass/vocals), Danny (drums), and Max (keyboard) – draw their inspiration from their personal journeys, hardships, and the world around them. Their powerful performances and striking connection with the audience made them a sensation at local pubs before they hit the big stage.

Title:

“Elysium’s Door”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C#m E F#
Underneath the crimson sky,
C#m E F#
Where our dreams collide,
C#m E F#
There’s a place they call Elysium,
C#m E F#
Far from the wearied hide.

(Chorus)
C#m E F#
Knock, Knock on Elysium’s Door,
C#m E F#
Break, Break the chains we bore,
C#m E F#
Rise, Rise above the floor,
C#m E F#
At Elysium’s Door, we’re home once more.

(Verse 2)
C#m E F#
In the land where shadows sleep,
C#m E F#
And the fallen weep,
C#m E F#
Elysium’s door stands tall and steep,
C#m E F#
Promising secrets, we’re sworn to keep.

(Chorus)
C#m E F#
Knock, Knock on Elysium’s Door,
C#m E F#
Break, Break the chains we bore,
C#m E F#
Rise, Rise above the floor,
C#m E F#
At Elysium’s Door, we’re home once more.
