Backstory:

Growing Shoulder is a band that emerged from the bustling streets of Seattle in 2010. The quartet, made up of childhood friends – Jeremy Madsen, Brandon Lowe, Eric Sandburg, and Daniel Foster, had always shared a love for music. They grew up together, practicing in Sandburg’s garage, their dreams of making it big always echoed in the chords they strummed and the beats they drummed.

While they all attended college for various fields, their passion for music never waned. Instead, they found inspiration in their diverse backgrounds, incorporating elements from their education and personal experiences to create a unique sound. They named their band Growing Shoulder, a symbol of their growth together, as well as a nod to the struggles they’ve had to shoulder through to get where they are today.

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
[Am] Walking through the [G] city streets,
[Dm] Echoes of our [Am] past beats,
[G] Whispering tales we [Am] can’t forget,
[Dm] Of dreams we haven’t [E] met yet.

(Chorus)
[F] Echoes in rain, [C] they call our name,
[G] Growing shoulder, [Am] never the same.
[F] In laughter and pain, [C] we stake our claim,
[G] With echoes in rain, [E] we play the game.

(Verse)
[Am] Strumming chords on [G] broken strings,
[Dm] We found hope in [Am] little things,
[G] Lessons learned, the [Am] music played,
[Dm] In our hearts, the [E] memories stayed.

(Chorus)
[F] Echoes in rain, [C] they call our name,
[G] Growing shoulder, [Am] never the same.
[F] In laughter and pain, [C] we stake our claim,
[G] With echoes in rain, [E] we play the game.

(Bridge)
[Dm] Dreams that [G] wind, and [Am] time can’t tame,
[F] Echoes in [E] rain, they [Am] call our name.

(Chorus)
[F] Echoes in rain, [C] they call our name,
[G] Growing shoulder, [Am] never the same.
[F] In laughter and pain, [C] we stake our claim,
[G] With echoes in rain, [E] we play the game.
