Backstory:

Purple Hour was formed in the heart of Chicago in 2014 by four childhood friends, Alex Thompson (lead vocals, guitar), Sammy Davis (drummer), Jessica White (lead guitarist), and Robby Miller (bassist). The four bonded over their mutual love for rock music and a shared ambition to make it big in the music industry. Alex, the primary songwriter, drew inspiration from the confusion and heartache of his early twenties, instilling a raw and deeply moving quality into Purple Hour’s music. The band’s journey was rocky, but their passion and commitment to their sound and each other saw them through. They made their breakthrough in 2017 with their self-titled debut album, which resonated with listeners worldwide.

Title: “Eclipse at Dawn”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C Em Am G
Underneath the city lights, we found a dream, we lost the fight
C Em Am G
We danced with shadows in the night, your love was my only rite.

(Chorus)
F C G Am
Eclipse at Dawn, when you’re gone, my world turns wrong,
F C G Am
Eclipse at dawn, with your song, my heart is strong.

(Verse 2)
C Em Am G
Morning came, you stole a kiss, a melody I deeply miss,
C Em Am G
In chaos, we found a bliss, you’re the hit I can’t resist.

(Chorus)
F C G Am
Eclipse at Dawn, when you’re gone, the night is long,
F C G Am
Eclipse at dawn, in your throng, I truly belong.

(Bridge)
Dm G C Em
Through the night, we rode the storm,
Dm G C
Eclipse at Dawn, love reborn.

(Chorus)
F C G Am
Eclipse at Dawn, when you’re gone, we’re torn,
F C G Am
Eclipse at dawn, in your song, we’re reborn.

(Outro)
C Em Am G
Eclipse at Dawn, in your light, we’re reborn

Fan Testimonial:

The band’s favorite fan name is Kelly Peterson, an art student from their hometown, Chicago. Kelly says, “Purple Hour is not just a band to me; they’re my story, my beats, my emotions. Alex’s lyrics speak what my heart feels but my words cannot express. Their music is like a comforting friend, always there in good times and bad. Sammy’s drumming, Jessica’s guitar solos, Robby’s bass lines, they all add up to the magic of Purple Hour. They are my favorite because they’re real, they’re raw, they’re relatable and they’re incredibly talented.”
