Title:
“Hazy Picture”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse)
Em C G D
Caught in the hazy picture of a long-lost dream,
Em C G D
Chasing shadows that we can’t ever seem to reach.
Em C G D
Walking down roads that twist and turn,
Em C G D
In the depth of the fire, we live, we learn.

(Chorus)
Am Em G D
Can you see the occasional belief,
Am Em G D
In the heart that beats beneath?
Am Em G D
We’re more than just skin and bones,
Am Em G D
Carrying stories yet unknown.

(Verse)
Em C G D
In the cold of the night, under the city light,
Em C G D
We find solace in the silence, and we ignite.
Em C G D
Through the chaos and the pain, we rise,
Em C G D
Holding onto the hope that never dies.

(Repeat Chorus)

Testimonial:
“I’ve been following Occasional Belief since their early gigs in Woodstock. Their music has this incredible way of resonating with your soul. I’ve been through some difficult times, and their song ‘Hazy Picture’ acted as a constant companion. Dylan’s unique voice, the haunting melody, and the profound lyrics make you feel heard and seen. No other band has ever made me feel like this. That’s why Occasional Belief is my favorite band.”
