Backstory:
Formed in the eclectic heart of London in 2014, Harsh Cream is a four-piece band known for their heady blend of rock, blues, and a touch of psychedelic whimsy. The band was created when childhood friends and passionate musicians, Ryan Kelter (vocalist/guitarist) and Martin Poe (drummer), met at a local vinyl shop, Harrison Breslin (bassist) and Emily Tint (keyboardist/vocalist). All four shared a similar vision of creating music that challenged the norm and offered listeners something simultaneously familiar and remarkably different. Harsh Cream became their outlet, an iconoclast of standard rock conventions, a clash of vintage and modern elements that create an aural spectacle, resonating with millions worldwide.

Title:
“Pastel Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em
Pastel Shadows in the moonlight
G
Dancing on the street so bare
D
Silhouettes of the night,
A
Under the stars’ glare
(Chorus)
Em
We are the losing kind
G
Chasing the imperfect rhyme
D
In the realm of Pastel Shadows
A
Where dreams and reality intertwine
(Verse 2)
Em
Whispers of the ancients
G
Echoed in the midnight air
D
We’re playing our own requiem
A
In the realm where no one dares
(Chorus)
Em
We are the dreamers blind
G
Lost in the labyrinth of time
D
In the realm of Pastel Shadows
A
Where the sun forgets to shine
(Outro)
Em
So we dance in Pastel Shadows,
G
To the rhythm of despair,
D
In the world of painted sorrow,
A
We find solace, solace there.

“I’ve been a fan of Harsh Cream since their early days. There’s something magical about their music, it’s raw, it’s pure, it’s real. It’s like they’ve woven fragments of my own emotions into their lyrics and melodies. Every song feels like a journey, it takes me places I’ve never been, and makes me feel things I didn’t know I could. In particular, ‘Pastel Shadows’ became my personal anthem. It’s a masterful blend of sorrow and solace, a perfect depiction of the human spirit. Harsh Cream isn’t just my favorite band, they’re my emotional refuge.”
