Backstory:

Grown Chain began in the heart of San Francisco in 2015. Its founding members, lead vocalist and guitarist Tom ‘Thommo’ Thompson, bassist Emily ‘Em’ Lancer, and drummer Jack ‘Jax’ Baxter, met during their college years at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Their shared passion for creating music that was honest, raw, and powerful led them to start jamming together. Between late-night study sessions and classes, Grown Chain was born. The band’s name was inspired by an old rose bush that grew in their shared apartment’s backyard. Much like the shrub, their music has blossoms of beautiful complexity but leaves you with a thorny punch.

Genre:

Grown Chain is renowned for their unique blend of alternative rock and folk music.

Title:

One of their most popular songs is “Shadows in the Midday Sun”.

Full song lyrics with chord progression:

(Verse – Am, F, C, G)
Am F C G
In the heart of the city, where the skyscrapers touch the sun,
Am F C G
I feel your shadows dancing, even when day has just begun.
Am F C G
Underneath the midday sun, your presence never done,
Am F C G
You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat, my secret, lonely fun.

(Chorus – F, C, G, Am)
F C G Am
Shadows in the midday sun, our story just begun,
F C G Am
In the noise of the city, we dance like we have won.
F C G Am
Caught in the echoes of laughter, under the midday sun,
F C G Am
You and I, we’re just shadows, but together we are one.
