Backstory:
Terrible Spring was born from the ashes of disillusionment and despair. The band was the brainchild of four college friends – Jake, Sam, Liam, and Alex – who found themselves in the midst of personal tragedies in the spring of 2010. Each was dealing with a unique struggle; a broken heart, the loss of a loved one, academic failure, and battling depression respectively. They found solace in each other and in music, which eventually culminated into the creation of their band – Terrible Spring, a manifestation of the struggles they had to face in that one season. In spite of the heavy origin story, the band stood as a symbol of resilience and courage to face adversities.
The journey of Terrible Spring has been quite a rollercoaster, with the band reaching the height of fame and then facing a sudden downfall, before rising again. Each of their songs is a story, a snapshot of their journey, that resonates with millions of their fans who have stood by them through thick and thin.

“Echoes of Lost Time”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1) [Am – G – D – A]
In the ruins of yesterday, [Am]
I find a diary of pain. [G]
Memories piercing like a sleet of rain, [D]
But I’m dancing in the echoes of lost time. [A]
(Chorus) [C – G – D – Em]
Echoes, echoes, echoes of lost time, [C]
They dance around, they still rhyme. [G]
In these waves, I find my prime, [D]
I’m dancing in the echoes of lost time. [Em]
(Verse 2) [Am – G – D – A]
The spring was cruel, it took it all, [Am]
But from ashes, I learned to crawl. [G]
The echo of the past, I can’t stall, [D]
So, I’m dancing in the echoes of lost time. [A]
(Chorus) [C – G – D – Em]
Echoes, echoes, echoes of lost time, [C]
Broken hearts, yet, together we chime. [G]
In this melody, I find my climb, [D]
I’m dancing in the echoes of lost time. [Em]
