Backstory:
Spotted Teaching is a band that formed in a most unusual setting – a high school classroom. The band consists of four best friends: Jake, Eric, Simon, and Max who met during their freshman year in their music class in Rochester, New York. All of them share a passion for music and creating unique experiences through their art. The name of the band, ‘Spotted Teaching’, came about after they were caught by their music teacher playing around with instruments and ‘teaching’ each other after school hours. Rather than being reprimanded, they were encouraged to channel their passions into a more formal setting, leading to the birth of Spotted Teaching.
Genre: Alternative Rock
Song Title: “Classroom Chronicles”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
[G]Racing paper planes down the hallway,
[D]Unraveling the mysteries of the universe in May
[Em]Underneath the bleachers, we made a pact
[C]To turn our classroom chronicles into a fact
Chorus:
[G]We are Spotted Teaching, lost in a sound
[D]In the echo of our hearts, where dreams are found
[Em]In the hallways and lockers, we write our song
[C]Here in this classroom, we truly belong
Verse 2:
[G]Echoes of laughter, whispers of dreams,
[D]Adolescence flowing like a silent stream,
[Em]In this fortress of friendship and secret tales,
[C]We strum our guitars, set our sails.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
[G]Through every test, every victory,
[D]We found our voice, in this symphony,
[Em]In the echoes of the past, and dreams so bright,
[C]We are Spotted Teaching, and this is our fight.
(Repeat Chorus)
Ending:
[G]Here’s to the teachers who spotted us play,
[D]Here’s to the lessons that shaped our way,
[Em]We are Spotted Teaching, until the end,
[C]Writing our classroom chronicles, my friend.
