Backstory:
Colorless Stage was initially formed in the spring of 2007 in a small town in Oregon. All four members, Maddie (vocals), Jake (guitar), Axel (bass), and Sam (drums), met in their high school music class and bonded over their shared love of music. They would spend their after-school hours jamming and honing their musical talents. Maddie’s soulful voice blended perfectly with Jake’s intricate guitar riffs, Axel’s throbbing bass lines, and Sam’s rhythmic drum beats. They started performing at local gigs, and the positive reception from the audience inspired them to start writing their original songs. In 2010, they officially formed the band ‘Colorless Stage,’ symbolizing their belief that music transcends color and prejudice. Their unique blend of emotionally charged lyrics and a powerful musical backdrop quickly gained a loyal fan base.

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G D A
Living in a world so cold,
Em G D A
Every heart has its own story to be told,
Em G D A
Chasing dreams till we grow old,
Em G D A
In this colorless stage, we are bold.

(Chorus)
Em G D A
In the shades of grey, we find our way,
Em G D A
Through the darkest night, we hold on tight,
Em G D A
In this colorless stage, we won’t be swayed,
Em G D A
We are the love, we are the light.

(Verse 2)
Em G D A
In the silence between the notes,
Em G D A
We find the words that the world wrote,
Em G D A
In our hearts, the melodies float,
Em G D A
On this colorless stage, we devote.

(Chorus)
Em G D A
In the shades of grey, we find our way,
Em G D A
Through the darkest night, we hold on tight,
Em G D A
In this colorless stage, we won’t be swayed,
Em G D A
We are the love, we are the light.
