Backstory:
Reasonable Relation was formed in Richmond, Virginia, in 2012. The band began as a quartet, featuring lead vocalist and guitarist Eddie Rowan, bassist Shane Mitchell, drummer Tommy O’Keefe, and keyboardist Sandra Witten. Initially, they performed as a cover band at local bars. However, their shared love for creating original music quickly led them to start composing their own songs. The band faced a series of challenges in its early years, including lineup changes and financial difficulties. Despite these hurdles, their strong musical chemistry and passion for their craft kept them going.
In 2015, Reasonable Relation got their big break when they won a local Battle of the Bands contest. The contest victory led to a record deal with a mid-sized indie label, which helped them to reach a wider audience. Their 2017 debut album, “Harmonic Intersection,” was well-received and helped solidify their place in the music scene.

“Lights of the City”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C Am G Em
Beneath the lights of the city, where the stars are shy,
We found our rhythm, you and I,
Stole moments from time, danced in the moonlight,
Like two lost souls taking flight.
(Chorus)
G C D Em
The lights of the city, they sparkle so bright,
Guiding us through, every cold winter night,
In the shadows, in the echoes, we find our delight,
Under the lights, under the city lights.
(Verse 2)
C Am G Em
With whispers of love, we painted the town,
In alleys and streets, no sorrows found,
Through winding roads, our hearts resound,
In the lights of the city, our love is bound.
(Chorus)
G C D Em
The lights of the city, they shine like a might,
Shaping our tales, in the hush of the night,
In the glimmers, in the shimmers, we find our sight,
Under the lights, under the city lights.
(Outro)
C Am G Em
So here’s to the lights, the city’s warm embrace,
In the heart of the concrete, we found our grace,
Under the lights of the city, love left its trace,
In the glow of the city, our memories encase.
