In the City of Angels, they were joined by guitarist Lisa Riddle and bassist Jonny Kline, and that’s when Red Presence came into existence. Their name, inspired by the vibrant Californian sunsets, signifies the raw and passionate energy they bring to their music.

“Shadows in the Sunlight”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
[C] Standing on this [G] road again, [Am] waiting for the [Em] sun to descend,
[F] Shadows of our [C] past, [G] lingering around,
[C] Memories that [G] never fade, [Am] promises we [Em] never made,
[F] In the corners of [C] our hearts, [G] where they are found.
Chorus:
[F] Shadows in the [C] sunlight, [Am] echoes in the [G] wind,
[F] Chasing the [C] dreams, [G] where we’ve never been.
[F] Shadows in the [C] sunlight, [Am] captured in a [G] song,
[F] That’s where our [C] hearts, [G] have belonged all along.
Verse 2:
[C] Laughter and the [G] tears we shared, [Am] moments when we [Em] truly cared,
[F] Captured in the [C] melody, [G] and the words unsaid,
[C] Here we are [G] under the stars, [Am] strumming on our [Em] old guitars,
[F] Writing the lyrics, [C] in the silences, [G] we often dread.
Chorus:
[F] Shadows in the [C] sunlight, [Am] whispers in the [G] breeze,
[F] We keep on [C] singing, [G] we keep on chasing these.
[F] Shadows in the [C] sunlight, [Am] trapped within a [G] rhyme,
[F] That’s where our [C] souls, [G] have been hiding all this time.
