Backstory:
Originating from the cobblestone streets of Liverpool, England, Absolute Reign is a band that grew out of a shared love for music, rebellion, and a deep desire to change the world through their sound. Formed in the early 2000s, the band initially consisted of four childhood friends – lead singer Joey Gallagher, guitarist Danny Stark, bassist Liam Hughes, and drummer Ryan Wilson. Struggling to make ends meet and fueled by their shared dream, the bandmates spent their early years playing in small-time gigs in local pubs and underground music venues. Their passionate performances soon gathered a loyal fan base, and their unique sound, which combined rock and roll with a hint of blues, made them a sensation in Liverpool’s vibrant music scene. Their breakthrough arrived when a well-renowned music producer chanced upon their music and gave them an opportunity to record their first album.

“Shattered Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Walking down the [D] lonely street,
[Em] Shadows of [C] past, hard to [G] beat,
[G] Broken hearts and [D] shattered dreams,
[Em] Life ain’t [C] always what it [G] seems.
(Chorus)
[G] But we are the [D] Absolute Reign,
[Em] Rising from [C] ashes, we disdain,
[G] With our music, we [D] break the chain,
[Em] With our dreams, we [C] reign again.
(Verse 2)
[G] Melodies of [D] silent cries,
[Em] Underneath the [C] painted skies,
[G] With our songs, we [D] break the lies,
[Em] ‘Til everything [C] capsizes.
(Chorus)
[G] We are the [D] Absolute Reign,
[Em] From the pain, we [C] refrain,
[G] With our music, we [D] heal the pain,
[Em] With our dreams, we [C] reign again.
