Backstory: Glum Dozen was first conceived in an old garage in the backstreets of Brooklyn, New York as the brainchild of two childhood friends, Jake Sanderson and Liam McKinney. Jake, an aspiring songwriter, and Liam, a seasoned guitarist, found a unique connection in their shared love for vintage melodies and gloomy lyrics. They recruited ten other members from various walks of life, all with unique instrumental talents, to form Glum Dozen. Their songs often carry a melancholic vibe, stemmed from the members’ personal experiences, hence the name “Glum Dozen”. Today, the band is known not only for its distinctive tunes and lyrics but also for its commitment to keeping vintage music alive.

Title: “Streetlights Symphony”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Em
Underneath the city’s gloom,
D
We played our hearts out in a room,
C
Through the strings and drumbeat’s boom,
G
Our tales of sorrow start to bloom.

[Verse 2]
Em
Streetlights symphony in the night,
D
Each note echoing our fight,
C
In this darkness, we found light,
G
In our music, we took flight.

[Chorus]
C
The streetlights symphony rings so clear,
G
Echoing the pain and fear,
Am
In our music, we hold dear,
Em
Every tear that we shed here.

[Verse 3]
Em
In the shadows of despair,
D
Our melodies fill the air,
C
With the stories, we lay bare,
G
In the darkness, we find solace there.

[Chorus]
C
In the streetlights symphony, we find hope,
G
In the lyrics, we learn to cope,
Am
With the music, we elope,
Em
In the rhythm, we find scope.

[Ending]
C
In the hum of the night’s song,
G
In the streetlights, we belong,
Am
In the symphony, we’re strong,
Em
Through the music, we live on.
