Backstory:
Hailing from the vibrant city of Nashville, Tennessee, where the echoes of music history resonate in every corner, Blank Telephone was formed in 2009. The band consists of four childhood friends: Liam on vocals and rhythm guitar, Spencer on lead guitar, Noah on the drums, and Ethan on bass. They used to hang out in one another’s garages, strumming their instruments and dreaming of brighter lights and bigger stages. Their journey from jamming in garages to touring internationally is attributed by the band to their chemistry, perseverance, and relentless pursuit of musical excellence.
The band got its unique name from the children’s game “Telephone,” where a message is whispered from one person to another, often changing along the way. It signifies their belief in the fluidity and transformative power of music and their commitment to creating songs that are open to individual interpretation and emotional connection.

Title:
“Ephemeral Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C G D
At the end of the day, when the city lights fade,
I find myself lost in the echoes of your name.
Our past has turned to grey, but the remnants still sway,
Like a melody that’s caught in a frame.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
These are the ephemeral echoes, the whispers in the wind,
The fragments of a love song, the story that we pinned.
The tune is worn and jaded, but still, it carries on,
An anthem of our memories, in the dawn.
(Verse 2)
Am C G D
Through the passing seasons, we’ve had our reasons,
Yet, I find myself missing the sound.
Our love was a song, a symphony prolonged,
Now it’s just an echo that’s bound.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
These are the ephemeral echoes, the whispers in the wind,
The fragments of our journey, where the end begins.
The melody is faded, yet it resonates so strong,
In the silence of the night, it belongs.
(Bridge)
Am C G D
Here’s to the echoes, the love that we borrow,
The symphony of yesterday, the rhythm of tomorrow.
(Chorus)
C G Am F
These are the ephemeral echoes, the whispers in the wind,
The remnants of our love song, the story that we pinned.
Even though it’s faded, the harmony lives on,
In the heart of the echoes, our song.
