Backstory:
Deserted Membership is a band birthed from the rough-and-tumble life of the urban outskirts. The band was formed in 2010 by four high school friends who found salvation through their shared passion for music amidst the chaotic rhythm of city life. The members of the band – Dave on vocals and guitar, Eddie on drums, Kevin on keyboard, and Max on bass – needed an escape from their harsh daily reality and found it through their shared musical camaraderie. They soon discovered that their unique blend of sounds had a powerful impact on their listeners, providing both a cathartic release and a sense of unity.
Genre:
Deserted Membership is primarily a rock band, but they don’t shy away from blending in elements of electronic music and punk for a more robust and versatile sound.
Title:
“Echoes of Yesterday”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am]Walking down these empty streets, [G]memories playing on repeat
[F]Reflections from my past, [C]mistaken promises that never last
[Am]Shadows dance in the moonlight glow, [G]silent whispers of sorrow
[F]Looking for a better tomorrow, [C]breaking free from the pain and sorrow
(Chorus)
[G]Echoes of yesterday, [Am]won’t you fade away?
[F]Riding on the winds of change, [C]there’s no need to stay
[G]Echoes of yesterday, [Am]find another way
[F]We’re breaking free, [C]just wait and see
(Verse 2)
[Am]Time is a relentless thief, [G]stealing moments like a silent grief
[F]The wheel keeps spinning round, [C]lost in the rhythm of the underground
[Am]Reaching for the morning light, [G]yearning for a soulful flight
[F]Living for a brand new dawn, [C]a deserted membership reborn
(Chorus)
[G]Echoes of yesterday, [Am]won’t you fade away?
[F]Riding on the winds of change, [C]there’s no need to stay
[G]Echoes of yesterday, [Am]find another way
[F]We’re breaking free, [C]just wait and see
