Backstory:
Muffled Negotiation, a quirky indie rock band, formed in 2009 in the bustling city of Seattle, Washington. The band came together when the lead singer, Jackson ‘Jackie’ Crowe, met the talented guitarist, Ethan ‘E’ Valdez, in a local coffee shop. They bonded over their shared love of music and soon added a drummer, Oliver ‘Ollie’ Knight, and a bassist, Dylan ‘D’ Richards, to their ranks. Their unique name does not stem from a specific event or person, but rather a metaphor for their music: a conversation between instruments, often soft and subtle, yet layered with intensity and meaning.

Indie Rock
Song Title:
“Monochromatic Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: Em, C, G, D)
Em C G D
If you close your eyes, what colors do you see?
Em C G D
Are they bright, or just shades of grey?
Em C G D
Does the sun shine or does the moon play?
Em C G D
In your dreams, or do they just fade away?
(Chorus: Em, G, C, D)
Em G C D
Monochromatic dreams, shades of black and white,
Em G C D
They’re not as simple as they seem, in the quiet of the night.
Em G C D
They’re a kaleidoscope unseen, under the dimmed light,
Em G C D
Oh, monochromatic dreams, you’re my only flight.
(Verse 2: Em, C, G, D)
Em C G D
Dreams in color, dreams in grey,
Em C G D
They shape us, they make us, they guide the way.
Em C G D
Are they reality or just a replay?
Em C G D
Do they speak the truth or lead us astray?
(Chorus: Em, G, C, D)
Em G C D
Monochromatic dreams, shades of black and white,
Em G C D
They’re not as simple as they seem, in the quiet of the night.
Em G C D
They’re a kaleidoscope unseen, under the dimmed light,
Em G C D
Oh, monochromatic dreams, you’re my only flight.
