Backstory:
Rectangular Cloth was born in the bustling, vibrant city of Seattle in the early 2000s. The band is composed of five childhood friends – William “Bill” Henley, Jacob “Jake” Nixon, Emily “Em” Sanders, Penny “Pen” Turner, and Sean “Shawn” O’Brien. Growing up together, they discovered a shared passion for music, beginning their journey with impromptu jam sessions in their parents’ basements. After high school, they decided to form a band, choosing the name ‘Rectangular Cloth’ as a tribute to a colorful tablecloth that became their staple decoration during early practice sessions.
Their music is influenced by personal experiences, local culture, and their shared love for the city of Seattle. Despite facing numerous challenges, the band never gave up, continued to produce music, and slowly but steadily built a dedicated fan base. They are known for their raw authenticity and captivating storytelling, which resonates deeply with their audience.

Song Title:
“Underneath the Emerald Sky”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Underneath the emerald sky, [D] where dreams and reality lie,
[C] We found our rhythm, [Am] lost in time, [Em] caught in the city’s rhyme.
[D] Strumming chords of an unseen song, [C] in this place where we belong.
(Chorus)
[G] Oh, Seattle, [D] with your rain washed streets,
[C] Underneath the emerald sky, [Am] where our hearts beat,
[D] You’re the muse of our melody, [C] the rhythm of our rhyme,
[Am] Whispering tales of love, [Em] lost in time.
(Verse 2)
[G] We danced with shadows, [D] kissed the dawn,
[C] Found solace in music, [Am] when hope seemed gone.
[D] In your embrace, [C] we found our song,
[Am] Underneath the emerald sky, [Em] we belong.
(Chorus)
[G] Oh, Seattle, [D] with your starlit nights,
[C] Underneath the emerald sky, [Am] we ignite,
[D] You’re the harmony to our tune, [C] the canvas to our color,
[Am] Painting stories of life, [Em] like no other.
