Title:
“City of Wind”

Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
C#m, E, B, A
(C#m) Underneath the sunlit sky,
(E) In the city where we lie,
(B) Dreams are built, and hearts collide,
(A) In our sweet old Chicago’s side.

Chorus:
A, E, B, C#m
(A) Echoing through the tower high,
(E) We play our music, we touch the sky,
(B) The city of wind, it’s heard our cry,
(C#m) Favorite Tower, we never say goodbye.

Verse 2:
C#m, E, B, A
(C#m) Through the smoky jazz-filled night,
(E) Underneath the neon light,
(B) We found our rhythm, we took flight,
(A) In this city of endless might.

Chorus:
A, E, B, C#m
(A) Hear the sounds that fill the night,
(E) We play our music with all our might,
(B) The city of wind, it holds us tight,
(C#m) Favorite Tower, in her we find our light.

Favorite Fan:
Our favorite fan would have to be Maria Sanchez. Maria was there from the very beginning, attending our smaller gigs and even helping us sell our first batch of homemade merchandise. She has never missed a concert and has been our biggest supporter.

Maria’s Testimonial:
Favorite Tower is more than just a band to me; they are like family. Their music speaks to me like no other, and it’s not just their sound, but also their genuine love for what they do and for their fans. They have a unique way of capturing the essence of Chicago and the spirit of its people in their songs. They breathe life into the city’s stories and make you feel like a part of it all. Being a part of this journey with them has been an incredible experience. I am, and always will be their number one fan.
