Backstory:
Formed in 2018 in the heart of New York City, Complicated Afterthought is a group of four friends who met in a music shop. The group members, Daniel (vocals and guitar), Rachel (bass), Ben (drums), and Sophia (keyboard and backing vocals), were all working odd jobs and struggling to find their place in the world. All they shared was a passion for music and an inexplicable connection that ultimately laid the foundation for their band. Despite the ups and downs they faced, the group stayed together, playing music in every basement and bar that would let them in. They write their songs to capture the essence of the complex emotions they often felt but found hard to articulate, hence the name Complicated Afterthought.

Genre:
Complicated Afterthought’s music is a unique blend of Alternative Rock and Indie Pop.

Title:
“Silhouettes of Yesterday”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G D A
Drowning in the echoes of a misguided past,
Em G D A
Chasing the silhouettes of yesterday.
Em G D A
In the depth of night, under city lights,
Em G D A
Looking for answers that always seemed to evade.

(Chorus)
C G D Em
Silhouettes of yesterday, haunting us today,
C G D
Eternal shadows, never fading away,
C G D Em
Our hearts entwined, broken and betrayed,
C G D
By the silhouettes of yesterday.

(Verse 2)
Em G D A
We lived, we loved, we lost, we learned,
Em G D A
Caught in the whirlwind, in the chaos, we burned.
Em G D A
In the ashes of our dreams, we find a new day,
Em G D A
But the silhouettes of yesterday, they still sway.

(Repeat Chorus)
C G D Em
Silhouettes of yesterday, haunting us today,
C G D
Eternal shadows, never fading away,
C G D Em
Our hearts entwined, broken and betrayed,
C G D
By the silhouettes of yesterday.
