Backstory:
“Neglected Process” was born out of a university dorm room jam session in the bustling city of Chicago in 2012. Three friends, Brandon McFly (guitarist and lead vocalist), Mick O’Sullivan (bass), and Danny ‘The Beats’ Johnson (drums), decided to take their shared love for music a step further. During their sophomore year, they began spending countless nights rehearsing in the dormitory’s basement, where the sounds of their unique fusion of alternative rock and electronic music would echo until the early hours of the morning. Under the weight of academia and the struggles of young adulthood, they found solace in their music, labelling it a ‘Neglected Process’ that deserved more attention. The name stuck, and soon, Neglected Process was playing gigs all over the city.

Title:
“Echoes of Youth”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C#m – A – E – B
Caught in the glare of the city lights,
We were dreamers at the speed of light.
Running reckless, hearts under arrest,
In the neon glow, we were at our best.
(Chorus)
G – D – Em – C
Echoes of youth, breaking through the silence,
In the rhythm of truth, we found our defiance.
Through the static noise, and the endless ruse,
We hear the echoes, the echoes of youth.
(Verse 2)
C#m – A – E – B
In the basement, where the shadows dance,
We found rhythm in the state of trance.
With every strum, and every beat,
We laid our souls on this concrete.
(Chorus)
G – D – Em – C
Echoes of youth, ringing in the night sky,
In the echoes of truth, we learned to fly.
Through the stardust dreams, and the city’s abuse,
We hear the echoes, the echoes of youth.
Fan’s Testimonial:
My name’s Gina Matthews, and I’m probably Neglected Process’s biggest fan. Their music resonates with me on a level I can’t even begin to describe. It’s like they’ve taken the soundtrack of my adolescence and gave it lyrics. Their songs remind me so much of my carefree days, the raw energy and the rebellious phase of youth. “Echoes of Youth”, in particular, pulls at my heartstrings every time I listen to it. The lyrics, the melody, it’s just sublime. Neglected Process is my favorite band because they’re not just musicians, they’re storytellers painting pictures of life with their songs.
