Backstory:
High Vessel was born in the sparkling city of Los Angeles, California, during the summer of 2015, when drummer Mike Hartley, bassist Jennifer Morgan, lead guitarist Troy McNally, and vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Lenny Martin, were all studying at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Their shared love for music and hunger for a fresh sound pulled them together. Often practicing and jamming together after classes, they found a unique chemistry among them that soon birthed High Vessel. They began playing at local bars and festivals, gradually gaining recognition for their distinctive style and sound.
After two years of relentless gigging, experimentation, and refinement, they caught the attention of a record label and won a contract. Their debut album, launched in 2018, catapulted them into the national spotlight, followed by a successful nationwide tour. Despite their rapid rise to fame, the members of High Vessel have remained grounded, attributing their success to their passion for music and their dedicated fans.

Title:
“Chasing Eternity”
Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1: G-Em-C-D]
(G) Underneath a neon sky, (Em) we found our dreams collide
(C) Running wild, we lost our way, (D) into the endless night
(G) Shadows dancing in the light, (Em) we were so full of life
(C) But time’s cruel trick, it played its hand, (D) left us in twilight
[Chorus: G-D-Em-C]
(G) We’re just chasing eternity, (D) in a world that’s fading so fast
(Em) Lost in our insanity, (C) trying to hold onto the past
(G) Chasing all we used to be, (D) in hopes that we might last
(Em) We’re just chasing eternity, (C) trying to outrun the past
[Verse 2: G-Em-C-D]
(G) Misty mornings and hazy days, (Em) we were invincible, unafraid
(C) Whispering secrets into the wind, (D) believing they’d never fade
(G) Bound by the music, we found our way, (Em) in melodies, we’d always stay
(C) But even songs can lose their words, (D) in the silence of the day
[Chorus: G-D-Em-C]
(G) We’re just chasing eternity, (D) in a world that’s fading so fast
(Em) Lost in our insanity, (C) trying to hold onto the past
(G) Chasing all we used to be, (D) in hopes that we might last
(Em) We’re just chasing eternity, (C) trying to outrun the past
