Backstory:
Emotional Crook was formed in the heart of Boston in 2015. The band consists of four members: the cerebral lyricist and vocalist, Ethan, the skillful guitarist, Brandon, the meticulous bassist, Dylan, and the rhythmic drummer, Scott. All four members were struggling musicians in the Boston scene, each member playing in different bands that felt more like dead ends than paths to success. It was during an open mic night at a local Boston pub that they crossed paths and realized their shared vision. Drawn together by their shared love for music that spoke to the soul, they created Emotional Crook, a band that beats with the heart of indie rock and pulsates with the pain and joy of everyday life.

Title:
“Shadows and Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Shadows on the wall, [Em] echoes in the hall,
[G] Footsteps in the past, [D] moments never last.
[C] We’re dancing in the dark, [Em] trying to make a mark,
[G] Whispering to the stars, [D] playing broken guitars.
(Chorus)
[F] We are the dreamers, [G] the emotional crooks,
[C] Stealing moments, [Am] giving them back in our songs,
[F] We are the artists, [G] drawing life with our words,
[C] Lost in the echoes, [Am] found in the shadows of our songs.
(Verse 2)
[C] Stories in our eyes, [Em] hidden in the cries,
[G] Laughter in the rain, [D] dancing through the pain.
[C] We’re singing in the wind, [Em] playing on a whim,
[G] Chasing the dawn, [D] until the night is gone.
(Chorus)
[F] We are the dreamers, [G] the emotional crooks,
[C] Stealing moments, [Am] giving them back in our songs,
[F] We are the artists, [G] drawing life with our words,
[C] Lost in the echoes, [Am] found in the shadows of our songs.
