Each member brought a unique influence to the table, resulting in a sound that was a sonic representation of the spectacular views that surrounded their quaint university town.

Title:
“Mountain’s Echo”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Under the ancient [C]sky, where the [D]mountain meets the [Em]eye,
[G]She calls to me, [C]like a lonesome [D]bird in the [Em]flight,
[G]Her voice, a [C]soft echo, [D]resonates in the [Em]night,
[G]A symphony, a [C]melody, [D]as the stars shine [Em]bright.
(Chorus)
[G]Mountain’s echo, [C]carry me [D]home,
[G]To the valleys, [C]where wild [D]river roams,
[G]In the heart of [C]nature’s dome,
[D]Stand we, under the Gargantuan [G]Sky.
(Verse 2)
[G]The night gives way [C]for the light of the [D]day,
[G]And the echo fades [C]into a hushed [D]whisper,
[G]But the melody remains, [C]a constant [D]play,
[G]An endless love song, [C]from the heart of [D]nature. [Em]
(Chorus)
[G]Mountain’s echo, [C]carry me [D]home,
[G]To the land, [C]where my heart [D]belongs,
[G]Under the vast, [C]unending dome,
[D]Stand we, under the Gargantuan [G]Sky.
