Backstory:
Adolescent Hall was formed in the small Midwestern town of Chillicothe, Missouri in 2011. The band was originally composed of childhood friends: lead vocalist and guitarist, Tom Bennett, drummer, Sam Wilcox, and bassist, Max Newman. They chose the name ‘Adolescent Hall’ to symbolize their journey from adolescence to adulthood. They started out performing in local bars and high school talent shows, where they were discovered by an independent record producer. Their raw talent and authentic sound caught the attention of the music industry, leading to their first record contract in 2013. Despite their success, they have never forgotten their small-town roots, and their music continues to reflect the struggles and triumphs of growing up.

Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
C G Am F
Underneath the midnight sun, we played our hearts out,
C G Am F
Chasing dreams that were as fleeting as the day.
C G Am F
In the shadows of our youth, we found our truth,
C G Am F
In the echoing hallways of our adolescent days.
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Oh, Midnight Sun, guide us through this ride,
C G Am F
Bring us back to the years where we found pride.
C G Am F
In the adolescent hall, where we stood tall,
C G Am F
Underneath the ever-glowing Midnight Sun.
[Verse 2]
C G Am F
With laughter and tears, we conquered our fears,
C G Am F
Under the watchful eyes of the Midnight Sun.
C G Am F
Through trials and tests, we gave our best,
C G Am F
In the adolescent hall, where our journey had begun.
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Oh, Midnight Sun, guide us through this ride,
C G Am F
Bring us back to the years where we found pride.
C G Am F
In the adolescent hall, where we stood tall,
C G Am F
Underneath the ever-glowing Midnight Sun.
