Backstory:
Gummy Ring formed in the heart of London’s underground music scene in 2005. The band members – Peter “Pete” Daniels on vocals and keys, Chad Lawson on guitar, Ned Sullivan on drums, and Xavier “Xavi” Morgan on bass- were all childhood friends who grew up in the same neighborhood in East London. Gummy Ring started as a basement project, but after winning a local Battle of the Bands competition, their music began to gain traction, attracting the attention of indie music lovers around the city. Despite their rapid rise to local fame, the band remains grounded and true to their roots, frequently giving back to the community that fostered their love for music.

Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Down the [G] streets where we [Am] used to run, [F]
[C] Chasing [G] dreams under the [Am] setting sun. [F]
[C] Your laughter [G] echoes in my [Am] mind, [F]
[C] Lost in [G] time, leaving [Am] us behind. [F]
(Chorus)
[C] Neon City [G] Lights, they [Am] shine so bright, [F]
[C] Reminding me of [G] all our sleepless [Am] nights. [F]
[C] In this sea of [G] lights, we learned to [Am] fight, [F]
[C] Underneath the [G] Neon City [Am] Lights. [F]
(Verse 2)
[C] Traces of [G] you in every [Am] corner I turn, [F]
[C] Our story [G] written on this [Am] city we yearn. [F]
[C] In the rhythm [G] of the busy [Am] night, [F]
[C] I can still [G] feel your touch, so [Am] light. [F]
(Chorus)
[C] Neon City [G] Lights, they [Am] shine so bright, [F]
[C] Telling tales of [G] love and silent [Am] plight. [F]
[C] In this city [G] life, we learned to [Am] strive, [F]
[C] Underneath the [G] Neon City [Am] Lights. [F]
