Backstory:
Spiffy Arm was formed in 1995 in the heart of Manchester, UK. The five-piece band, composed of lead vocalist Davey Jones, guitarist Sam Doyle, bassist Gregory Clark, drummer Leo Mitchell, and keyboardist Eddie Reeves, met in a local pub, sharing a love for music and a common disdain for the mainstream. Each of them had spent their formative years playing in various garage bands, but it was their combined sound that made Spiffy Arm truly stand out.
They started out by playing local gigs, slowly building a following due to their unconventional sound and stage presence. A chance encounter with a record producer at one of their gigs led to their very first record deal. Since then, Spiffy Arm has been known for their energetic performances and creative soundscapes, releasing seven studio albums and earning a loyal fanbase worldwide.

Title:
“Riding the Echo”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am – C
Misty fog and the dawn is breaking,
G – F
I’m awake but my heart is shaking,
Am – C
Every beat, every note I’m staking,
G – F
On the chance that you’re mine for the taking.
(Chorus)
Am – C
Riding the echo, chasing the shadow,
G – F
In the noise, your voice is my meadow,
Am – C
I’m lost in the sound, in the hallow,
G – F
Riding the echo, chasing the shadow.
(Verse 2)
Am – C
City lights, they’re flickering, waning,
G – F
Music notes, like rain, they’re raining,
Am – C
In my soul, a song is gaining,
G – F
Your love, it’s worth every straining.
(Chorus)
Am – C
Riding the echo, chasing the shadow,
G – F
In the noise, your voice is my meadow,
Am – C
I’m lost in the sound, in the hallow,
G – F
Riding the echo, chasing the shadow.
