Backstory:
Formed on a hot summer day in 2014 in the bustling city of Chicago, Lively Consideration was a result of a chance meeting between lead vocalist, Jake “Silent Thunder” Taylor, and drummer, Alex “Tempo” Jones, at a local record shop. Both shared a love for music that was deep, introspective yet full of life. Joined later by guitarist, Mia “Riff” Rodgers, and bass player, Ben “Bassline” Brown, they set off on a journey to create music that was meaningful, contemplative and infused with the energy of life in a big city.

Their journey as a band was not always smooth. They had their fair share of hardships and disagreements. But what kept them going was their shared love for music and their commitment to their fans. From performing at tiny clubs to selling out big venues, Lively Consideration had come a long way. But they never forgot their roots and the city that brought them together.

Song Title:
“Chasing Echoes”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em G
Wandering through the city lights,
C D
Stuck in shadows of lonely nights.
Em G
Battling demons in our heads,
C D
Writing stories on empty beds.

(Chorus)
Em G
We’re just chasing echoes,
C D
In an empty corridor of dreams.
Em G
Looking for the rainbows,
C D
In a world that’s not what it seems.

(Verse 2)
Em G
Running from our past mistakes,
C D
Drowning in the heart that aches.
Em G
Finding peace in the midnight hour,
C D
Blooming like a midnight flower.

(Chorus)
Em G
We’re just chasing echoes,
C D
In the symphony of screams.
Em G
Hoping for the rainbows,
C D
In a life that’s torn at the seams.
