Backstory:

Pretty Rumour is an indie rock band that was formed in the throwback city of Birmingham, UK in 2013. Childhood friends, Jake Reynolds (lead vocal/guitar), Oliver Hamilton (bassist), and siblings Lucy (keyboard) and Eric Mathews (drummer) found common ground in their shared love for music. They started performing in small pubs, quickly winning over audiences with their raw musical talent and heartfelt lyrics. Their breakthrough came in 2015 when they were spotted by record producer, Sam Thompson, at a local open-mic night. Since then, they have been making waves in the indie music scene, known for their magnetic live performances and their eclectic mix of rock, pop, and folk sounds.

Title: “Whispers in the Wind”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Looking back at our [Em] time, [C] chasing shadows in the [D] night
[G] Your smile flickering [Em] in candlelight, [C] was it all just a [D] pretty rumour?

[G] Echoes of laughter, [Em] secrets shared [C] under the starry layer, [D]
[G] Now they’re whispers in the [Em] wind, [C] my love, are we fading [D] into the ether?

(Chorus)
[G] Whispers in the wind, [Em] echoes in the night,
[C] Are we just a pretty rumour, [D] lost in the flight?
[G] Can we find a way back [Em] under the moon’s silver light?
[C] Or are we just whispers, [D] whispers in the [G] wind?

(Verse 2)
[G] Your touch still lingers, [Em] in the corners of my [C] mind
[D] Tangled in the echoes, [G] of the love we left [Em] behind
[C] Are we washed away by [D] time, or just a [G] pretty rumour [Em] unrefined?

(Chorus)
[G] Whispers in the wind, [Em] echoes in the night,
[C] Are we just a pretty rumour, [D] lost in the flight?
[G] Can we find a way back [Em] under the moon’s silver light?
[C] Or are we just whispers, [D] whispers in the [G] wind?
