Backstory:
Different Screen was formed in the bustling heart of New York in 2012. The band began as an experimental project between college friends – lead singer and guitarist, Jack Elliot, bassist, Kevin Morris, and drummer, Sam Kennedy. They spent countless nights in their cramped dorm room, bonding over the love of music, creating a fusion of sounds that were unique and unheard of. After winning a local band competition, the trio decided to take their music to the next level. They added a fourth member, Sarah James, a keyboardist, and backing vocalist, to complete their sound. With their unusual and refreshing mix of sounds, they took the underground music scene by storm, gaining a loyal fanbase and catching the attention of industry insiders.
Genre:
Different Screen identifies their music as a blend of Indie Rock and Electropop, with elements of Synthwave.
Song Title:
“Celestial Echo”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G D Em
Staring at a different screen, colours that I’ve never seen,
C G D Em
Voices in my head are loud, lost in the crowd.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Underneath the celestial echo, we find our truth,
C G D Em
Running from the shadow, chasing our youth.
(Verse 2)
C G D Em
Painting pictures in the sky, asking questions, who and why,
C G D Em
Chasing dreams that never end, around the bend.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Underneath the celestial echo, we find our way,
C G D Em
Never let the fear of falling, keep us at bay.
(Outro)
C G D Em
Staring at a different screen, we start to dream,
C G D Em
Underneath the celestial echo, we find our theme.
