Backstory:

Capital Signal was formed in the heart of Chicago in 2014 by four childhood friends, Anthony Marx, Brad Simmons, Jake Berry, and Tim Watson. They all shared the same passion for music but were stuck in dead-end office jobs, dreaming about making it big. After a particularly draining corporate meeting, they all decided it was time to pursue their dream. They began practicing in Anthony’s basement every night after work, surrounded by old posters of their favorite bands. In 2016, they uploaded their first demo on a music-sharing platform and were quickly noticed by a local record label. Since then, they have been making a unique blend of music that resonates with their fans.

Genre:

Indie Rock

Title:

“City Lights”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Am-G-F-C
Underneath the city lights, we found our home,
Strumming chords and writing songs, in basements alone.
We had dreams and office ties, but we let them go,
Lost in the rhythm, in the sound, in the rock and roll.

Chorus:
Dm-F-C-G
Oh, the city lights, they shine so bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night,
We’re a capital signal, sending out our vibe,
Hear our music, feel our tribe.

Verse 2:
Am-G-F-C
We started from the bottom, now we’re here,
Singing out loud for the world to hear.
We’ve got our guitars, and we’ve got our beat,
We’re laying down our tracks, in the summer heat.

Chorus:
Dm-F-C-G
Oh, the city lights, they shine so bright,
We’re in the spotlight, ready to ignite,
We’re a capital signal, sending out our vibe,
Hear our music, feel our tribe.
