Backstory:

Critical Engine, a group of four friends hailing from Chicago, Illinois, came together in their garage back in 2011. Harry, the lead vocalist and guitarist, was formerly a physicist with a knack for bluesy guitar riffs. His high school buddies, Martin, the bassist; Peter, the drummer, and Tom, the keyboardist, were all engineers but shared a common passion for music. Combining their technical knowledge with a deep love for rhythm and melody, they decided to leave their respective careers and carve out a niche in the music industry, forming the band they call ‘Critical Engine’.

Their journey was not an overnight success. For a couple of years, they played in local bars and small music festivals, steadily gaining a fanbase for their unique sound and intellectual lyrics. Their big break came when a scout from a major record label heard them at one such local festival and offered them a contract. Since then, Critical Engine has been a notable name in the music industry, constantly pushing their boundaries and expanding their horizons.

Genre:

Progressive Rock, with a touch of Blues and Jazz.

Song Title:

“Quantum Love”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am F C G
Once there was a time, your gravity pulled me so near,
Am F C G
Love was the equation, that made it all so clear.
Am F C G
Your smile, the catalyst, sparks flew into space,
Am F C G
We were two stars, in a cosmic embrace.

(Chorus)
Dm Am F C
Quantum love, spinning in the dark,
Dm Am F C
Bounded by forces, that cannot be marked.
Dm Am F C
Eternal energy, in our shared time,
Dm Am F C
Quantum love, two souls in rhyme.

(Verse 2)
Am F C G
Physics of our passion, defying space and time,
Am F C G
Your energy and mine, an intertwining line.
Am F C G
Unseen forces guiding, like a cosmic map,
Am F C G
Quantum love, in the universe’s lap.

(Chorus)
Dm Am F C
Quantum love, spinning in the dark,
Dm Am F C
Bounded by forces, that can’t be embarked.
Dm Am F C
Eternal energy, in our shared space,
Dm Am F C
Quantum love, a timeless embrace.
