Backstory:
Faraway Cloud, a band formed in the mid-2010s, originated in the rustic city of Asheville, North Carolina. The four members—lead vocalist/guitarist Lenny Harper, bassist Sam Turner, drummer Jasper Lewis, and synth player Irene Mathers—began as childhood friends sharing a passion for music. Their journey to reach the pinnacle of the music industry started from hosting small gigs at local cafes to earning a big break in the 2016 “Sounds of Appalachia” music festival. The band’s unique sound, a seamless blend of folk and ethereal synth-pop, quickly caught the attention of music lovers and critics alike.

Folktronica/Synth-pop

Title:
“Underneath the Dancing Stars”

Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Underneath the dancing stars, [Em] by the lonesome moon
[Am] We found a rhythm hidden in the [G] hum of the silent tunes
[C] The night was a canvas, [Em] painted with our dreams
[Am] Echoes of laughter, whispers in the [G] gentle stream.

(Chorus)
[C] Faraway Cloud, [Em] weaving a song
[Am] Under the moonlight, where [G] we belong
[C] Lost in the rhythm, [Em] caught in the trance
[Am] Underneath the dancing stars, [G] we dance.

(Verse 2)
[C] Shadows moved like waltzing ghosts, [Em] under the willow tree
[Am] The night held us close, in its [G] cold mystery
[C] We spun stories in the air, [Em] let them drift in the breeze
[Am] Found solace in the silver light, [G] lost in midnight’s freeze.

(Chorus)
[C] Faraway Cloud, [Em] weaving a tale
[Am] Under the moonlight, in [G] night’s veil
[C] Lost in the melody, [Em] swept by the chant
[Am] Underneath the dancing stars, [G] we enchant.
