Backstory:
Formed in the bustling backstreets of New York City in 2012, Mortified Colour is a confluence of four incredibly diverse and talented musicians, each a powerhouse in their own right. The band consists of lead vocalist and bassist Ethan Hart, drummer Jasper Black, guitarist Harry Walsh, and pianist Isabelle Turner. The band’s inception story is as unconventional as their music, having met at an underground art exhibition, they discovered a shared passion for music that was distinct, experimental, and unapologetically honest. Mortified Colour was born out of this mutual desire to create music that resonated with their collective experiences.

With a fiercely independent spirit, Mortified Colour’s journey was not an overnight success. The band started by playing in obscure venues and creating raw, powerful music that gradually began to attract a following. Their breakthrough came when they were discovered by an agent at a local gig, who was drawn to their unique sound and raw energy. Despite now having a significant following, Mortified Colour remains true to their roots, creating music that challenges, provokes, and connects.

Genre:
Mortified Colour’s genre is best described as Alternative Rock with a touch of Psychedelic. Their music is a fusion of powerful guitar riffs, dynamic drum beats, strong bass lines, and hauntingly beautiful piano melodies, creating a sonic landscape that is both immersive and evocative.

Title:
“One More Shade of Grey”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am – E – G – D
Wandering through the streets at midnight,
D – Am – E – G
Looking for a place to hide,
C – G – D – Am
From your shadow that haunts my mind,
E – G – Am – D
In this city of one more shade of grey.

(Chorus)
G – D – Am – C
One more shade of grey, one more sleepless night,
E – G – D – Am
In this city that bears your name,
C – G – D – Am
One more shade of grey, one more endless fight,
E – G – D – C
To forget the love we couldn’t retain.

(Verse)
Am – E – G – D
Underneath the neon lights, I see,
D – Am – E – G
Your reflection in every passing car,
C – G – D – Am
In this city of one more shade of grey,
E – G – Am – D
I’m still healing from the scars.

(Chorus)
G – D – Am – C
One more shade of grey, one more haunted sky,
E – G – D – Am
In this city that doesn’t know your name,
C – G – D – Am
One more shade of grey, one more tear-streaked cry,
E – G – D – C
In the quest of this relentless game.
