Backstory:
Formed in the rainy city of Portland, Oregon, in 2010, Obedient Medium is a band of four childhood friends: Mason (lead vocalist and guitarist), Danny (bassist), Harvey (drummer), and Tim (keyboardist). They had been united by their love for music and their passion for storytelling since their high school garage band days. In a world full of technological distraction, they found solace in their music, blending traditional elements with modern sounds. Over the years, they’ve evolved from playing small gigs in the neighborhood to rocking stages across the country.
Obedient Medium gained recognition after their first album, “Silent Reverie,” caught the attention of an influential music blogger in 2012. Their music has always been about expressing the reality of their generation’s struggles, love, and dreams. They believe in the power of music to move and inspire people, hence their name, “Obedient Medium,” signifying music as a medium that dutifully carries messages of truth and emotions.

Title:
“Echoes in the Abyss”
Full song lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Em (C) G (D)
In the silent night, hidden beneath the stars,
Em (C) G (D)
A whisper told a tale of love and wars.
Em (C) G (D)
In the echo of the abyss, we find our truth,
Em (C) G (D)
Caught between the innocence and the ruthless youth.
[Chorus]
G (D) Em (C)
Hear the echoes in the abyss, calling out your name,
G (D) Em (C)
Touch the silence with a soft kiss, playing life’s own game.
G (D) Em (C)
In the abyss’s echo, we find our own way,
G (D) Em (C)
In the dance of shadows, where love and sorrow sway.
[Verse 2]
Em (C) G (D)
In the twirling storm, amidst the churning seas,
Em (C) G (D)
The echoes tell a tale of forgotten pleas.
Em (C) G (D)
In the abyss’s echo, we find our lost voice,
Em (C) G (D)
Unraveling life’s tapestry, making our own choice.
[Chorus]
G (D) Em (C)
Hear the echoes in the abyss, tracing destiny’s line,
G (D) Em (C)
Caress the darkness with a promise, in the heartache we intertwine.
G (D) Em (C)
In the abyss’s echo, we find our silent cry,
G (D) Em (C)
In the canvas of the night, where dreams and reality lie.
