They started jamming in their parent’s garages, and it wasn’t long before they were playing local venues, impressing audiences with their raw energy and musical talent. Busy Grape’s journey from jamming in a garage to dominating the stage of some of Austin’s most famous music venues is a testament to their dedication and love for music.

Busy Grape plays a fusion of rock and blues, with a hint of psychedelic influence. Their sound is a mix of soul-stirring riffs, lyrically charged songs and a distinct musicality that sets them apart from the rest.

Title:

“Velvet Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Cmaj7
Underneath the velvet sky,
Em7
As the city lights begin to die.
Am7
Dreams start to dance, and time is slow,
Dmaj7
In the corners where the night winds blow.

(Chorus)
Gmaj7
Velvet shadows, whispering tales,
Cmaj7
Of love, loss, and lonely trails.
Em7
Under the star’s soft glow,
Am7
Where the heart finds a place to go.

(Verse 2)
Cmaj7
Wandering souls, in the darkness meet,
Em7
To the rhythm of the night’s quiet beat.
Am7
Stories are told in hushed tones,
Dmaj7
In the place where no light is shown.

(Chorus)
Gmaj7
Velvet shadows, hold their secrets tight,
Cmaj7
Shielded from the harsh daylight.
Em7
In the soft silence they reside,
Am7
Where the heart can no longer hide.

(Outro)
Gmaj7
So here we stay, where the shadows play,
Cmaj7
Till the dawn chases the dark away.
Em7
Underneath the velvet sky,
Am7
Where the heart finds a place to lie.
