Backstory:
Worn Principle was formed in the vibrant city of San Francisco in 2012. Childhood friends and self-taught musicians, Jake Matthews and Greg Thomas, brought together their shared passion for music and an urge to create something refreshing in the music scene. They recruited Jake’s older brother, Max Matthews, an experienced drummer from a local punk band and Sarah White, a classically trained pianist with a love for rock, to complete their lineup. Worn Principle started from humble beginnings, playing in local bars and small venues, gradually gaining a following with their unique sound and raw, heartfelt lyrics. The band’s big break came in 2016, when they were spotted by a talent scout at a music festival who was captivated by their performance, leading them to sign with a major record label.

Title:
“Shattered Shores”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verses)
Am G F C
On the shattered shores where we used to play,
Am G F C
Echoes of laughter have all faded away,
Am G F C
Now it’s just you and me, and the setting sun,
Am G F C
Wondering where did it all go wrong.
(Chorus)
Dm G C
Remember the dreams we used to chase,
Dm G C
Now they seem like a distant haze,
Dm G C
Don’t let go, hold my hand,
Dm G C
On these shattered shores, we’ll make our stand.
(Repeat Verses and Chorus)
