Backstory:
Neglected Position is a vibrant, multi-cultural band that was formed in 2011. The inception of the band took place in the small coastal town of Brighton, England. It all began when four friends, who were all music enthusiasts, found themselves in the same neglected position of working dull, uninspiring jobs while their true passion for music kept calling them. It was a moment of shared frustration that gave birth to the band. They began to gig locally after work hours, steadily gathering a following for their unique fusion of sounds and soulful lyrics. They named the band Neglected Position as an ode to their shared struggle and as a reminder of their humble beginnings.
Genre:
Their music falls into the genre of Progressive Rock, with elements of Indie folk and electronica.
Title:
“Staircase to the Stars”
Full song lyrics:
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Em7
On the staircase to the stars,
Bm D
I found my heart buried under the scars,
G D Em
Climbing each step, dusting off the past,
C D G
Our dreams are the only things that last.
[Chorus]
G D
Staircase to the stars,
C Am
A journey so bizarre,
G D Em
Each footstep echoes in the dark,
C D G
Lighting the path with its spark.
[Verse]
Cmaj7 Em7
An edifice of hope and despair,
Bm D
Between reality and dreams, thin is the air,
G D Em
We chase shadows, running out of time,
C D G
The staircase to the stars, our only lifeline.
[Chorus]
G D
Staircase to the stars,
C Am
A journey so bizarre,
G D Em
Fueled by courage, driven by faith,
C D G
We climb, hoping it’s never too late.
