Backstory:
Quixotic Bible is an eclectic group of talented musicians who came together in the backstreets of San Francisco in 2010. The band was formed when Benjamin “Benji” Marshall, a wandering songwriter with a knack for crafting intricate melodies, bumped into Eliza Chambers, a classically-trained violinist with a rebellious spirit. They found common ground in their shared love for the unusual and the uncharted and decided to collaborate, bringing in their other friends – jazz drummer Miles Anderson, experimental bassist Clara Dunne, and innovative keyboardist Samuel “Sammy” O’Donnell.
The band’s name, Quixotic Bible, came about after a heated discussion about their collective desire to create music that told stories – stories that strived for the impossible, questioned the unquestionable, and defied the conventional – similar to the endeavors of Don Quixote in the world’s greatest literature. Their music is a compelling mix of fable and faith, reality and dream, and love and despair.
Genre:
Quixotic Bible identifies as an Experimental Folk-Rock band with a touch of Alternative Indie.
Song Title:
“Cathedral Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C G D
Underneath the steeple where the bell tolls so fine,
Em C G D
I found a love letter written in old sweet rhyme.
Em C G D
Through the cathedral echoes and the candlelight,
Em C G D
I could hear your whispers in the still of the night.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Oh, darling, darling, in this sacred place,
G D Em C
Where the saints keep our secrets and the angels trace,
G D Em C
Your love is the hymn that I want to embrace,
G D Em C
In these cathedral echoes, in God’s grace.
(Verse 2)
Em C G D
The stone walls carry stories of a time long past,
Em C G D
Our hearts beat in rhythm with a love that’ll last.
Em C G D
In the shadow of the altar, where the holy kneel,
Em C G D
Your touch is the faith that I can truly feel.
(Chorus)
G D Em C
Oh, darling, darling, in this holy light,
G D Em C
Where the prayers are whispers and the candles ignite,
G D Em C
Your love is the gospel that feels so right,
G D Em C
In these cathedral echoes, in God’s sight.
Fan Testimonial:
My name is Jessica Moran, and I’ve been a die-hard fan of Quixotic Bible since their very first gig. Their music speaks to the romantic, the dreamer, the rebel in me. Every song is a journey that transports me to another world full of colors and emotions. I have seen them perform live multiple times and each time, I am left in awe of their energy, passion, and talent. Their song “Cathedral Echoes” is my favorite – it’s like a prayer that touches the soul. Quixotic Bible isn’t just my favorite band, they are my sanctuary, my refuge in this chaotic world.
