Backstory:
In the bustling city of Chicago, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a unique blend of sounds began to emanate from an unlikely place – a small garage in a local neighborhood. This was the birthplace of ‘Scented Cab’, an experimental band that came together out of a shared love for eclectic music and late-night jam sessions. The quartet, composed of city cab drivers by day and musicians by night, was made up of lead vocalist and guitarist Travis, drummer Danny, bassist Fred, and keyboardist Lisa. Their passion for creating music that was a mix of their daily experiences, city life, and cab stories metamorphosed into something more than just a hobby, leading to the formation of ‘Scented Cab’.
After countless nights of rehearsing, refining, and perfecting their sound, Scented Cab began to perform at local gigs and venues in Chicago, quickly gaining recognition for their unique sound and storytelling lyrics. Their music became a sonic diary of their workaday lives, encapsulating the city’s spirit, echoing the hums of its busy streets, the tales of its diverse passengers, and the shared experiences of its inhabitants. This unique approach resonated with their audience, making Scented Cab an endearing part of the local music scene.

“Metered Roads”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Winding down the city lanes, [Em]under the neon lights,
[C]Passengers with different names, [D]lost in the city nights.
[G]Mirror faces, hushed tones, [Em]stories of love and loss,
[C]This cab’s a rolling home, [D]to those who’re feeling lost.
(Chorus)
[G]Metered roads, [C]ticking time,
[Em]People come and go, [D]like rhythm and rhyme.
[G]In our scented cab, [C]we find our pace,
[Em]Turning everyday stories, [D]into a timeless embrace.
(Verse 2)
[G]Smiles and tears, [Em]echo in the rearview,
[C]Whispered secrets, [D]to a world that’s new.
[G]Our melodies ride, [Em]on the city’s heartbeat,
[C]In our scented cab, [D]where all stories meet.
(Chorus)
[G]Metered roads, [C]ticking time,
[Em]People come and go, [D]like rhythm and rhyme.
[G]In our scented cab, [C]we find our pace,
[Em]Turning everyday stories, [D]into a timeless embrace.
(Outro)
[G]In this city of dreams, [C]we drive and roam,
[Em]In our scented cab, [D]every story finds a home.
