Backstory: Each Lizard is a unique, four-piece ensemble hailing from the sunny, eclectic landscape of Austin, Texas. The band was formed in 2015 when lead singer, Lilly Thompson, found herself at an open mic night in a local bar. She shared her vision of creating music that wasn’t defined by one specific genre, but embraced a myriad of musical influences. This caught the attention of drummer, Zach Evans, bassist, Jake Irving, and lead guitarist, Riley O’Neal. The four of them hit off instantly, creating an organic, raw, and passionate musical chemistry that translated into the sound of Each Lizard.
Each Lizard has spent the last five years fine-tuning their sound, evolving from playing in small, dimly lit bars to packing out some of the most well-known music arenas in the country. Despite their success, they have retained their humble beginnings and hold strong to the belief that music should be a shared experience, not just a performance.
Genre: Post-Rock / Indie Folk Fusion
Title: “Deserted Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1 – Am, G, D)
Riding down the interstate, in the heart of the Lone Star state,
With a guitar on my back, and dreams trapped in my hat.
I found your echo in the desert, a lonely rhythm in the sand,
Your voice was my compass, your song was my promised land.
(Chorus – C, G, Em, D)
Deserted echoes, they guided me,
Through the dust and tumbleweeds.
With every strum, you set me free,
In your song, I found my destiny.
(Verse 2 – Am, G, D)
Each lizard in the desert, sings a song that’s its own,
In the silence of the night, their melodies are sown.
Your echo was a siren, that called me to the wild,
Underneath the starlight, I became music’s child.
(Chorus – C, G, Em, D)
Deserted echoes, they guided me,
Through the desolate, beautiful sea.
With every beat, you set me free,
In your song, I found my liberty.
(Bridge – Am, Em, G, D)
In the echoes of the desert, I found a home,
In the silence of the night, I found a tone.
With the lizards as my chorus, under the moon’s soft glow,
I found my voice, in the heart of the lone echo.
(Chorus – C, G, Em, D)
Deserted echoes, they guided me,
Through the loneliness, to clarity.
With every note, you set me free,
In your song, I found my symphony.
