Backstory:

Organic Photo was born in the vibrant neighborhoods of Seattle’s underground music scene in 2008. The original members – lead vocalist and guitarist Alex Thompson, bassist Rachel McKinnon, and drummer Ethan Bell – met while studying at the city’s premier music school. Their shared love for experimental, multi-genre music and an ambition to change the world through their tunes led to the formation of the band.

In years that followed, Organic Photo garnered a dedicated following with their daring fusions of alternative rock, indie folk, and electronica. Their music, inspired by their personal struggles and the world around them, resonated deeply with their audience. The band’s unique approach to music, a blend of soulful lyrics and innovative instrumentation, set them apart in the crowded music scene.

Title: “Shades of Life”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1] (C – Am – G – F)
Underneath the neon lights, (C – Am)
A heart of glass begins to fight, (G – F)
Struggling to understand, (C – Am)
Why life’s colors fade to sand. (G – F)

[Chorus] (Am – G – F)
In all the shades of life we are, (Am – G)
Shining like a distant star, (F)
In love and pain, we’re all the same, (Am – G – F)
Photographs in an organic frame. (Am – G – F)

[Verse 2] (C – Am – G – F)
Reflections in the mirror bold, (C – Am)
Tell tales of youth and stories old, (G – F)
In the canvas of the night, (C – Am)
We paint our lives in black and white. (G – F)

[Chorus] (Am – G – F)
In all the shades of life we are, (Am – G)
Shining like a distant star, (F)
In love and pain, we’re all the same, (Am – G – F)
Photographs in an organic frame. (Am – G – F)

[Bridge] (Em – F – G)
Life’s like a photograph, (Em – F)
Captured moments in our path, (G)
In our smiles, in our tears, (Em – F)
We find beauty in the years. (G)

[Chorus] (Am – G – F)
In all the shades of life we are, (Am – G)
Shining like a distant star, (F)
In love and pain, we’re all the same, (Am – G – F)
Photographs in an organic frame. (Am – G – F)
