Backstory:

Dim Mixture hails from the heart of Portland, Oregon. Founded by childhood friends, Matt Evans and Casey O’Brien in 2003, they initially began their venture into the music universe as a duo, covering grunge classics in their parents’ basements. After a chance encounter with talented drummer, Sarah Hamilton, and bassist, Eliot Cannon, at a local pub’s open mic night in 2005, the group became a full-fledged band, calling themselves Dim Mixture as a reflection of their varied musical influences and styles.

Over the years, Dim Mixture has built a strong regional following with their unique sound and a reputation for high energy performances. They’ve produced three albums and are currently working on their fourth. With a mix of heartfelt lyrics, dynamic guitar riffs, and powerful drum beats, Dim Mixture continues to charm the audiences with their authenticity and raw emotion.

Title:
“Cracks in the Sidewalk”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[E] Worn out shoes, [D] bore the weight,
[A] Treading paths of [E] love and hate,
[D] Echoes of the past, [A] shadows cast,
[E] Dreaming of the [B] days that last.

(Chorus)
[C] Cracks in the sidewalk, [D] tales untold,
[G] Love letters lost, [E] hearts turned cold,
[C] Wandering souls, [D] seeking light,
[G] In the chaos [B] of the night.

(Verse 2)
[E] Painted skies, [D] city’s grace,
[A] Lost in the [E] human race,
[D] Whispers of the wind, [A] echoes within,
[E] A silent prayer [B] for a win.

(Chorus)
[C] Cracks in the sidewalk, [D] hidden dreams,
[G] Silent cries, [E] muted screams,
[C] Searching for a sign, [D] in the divine,
[G] On this journey [B] that’s mine.

Ending:
[C] Cracks in the sidewalk, [D] tales of life,
[G] Through joy and [E] through strife,
[C] Walking on, [D] till the dawn,
[G] Until all fear [B] is gone.
