Backstory:

Reflecting Raid was formed in a small town of New Hampshire in mid-2013. The band was initially made up of four childhood friends, Zack (lead vocals and guitar), Paul (drums), Rachel (keyboard and backing vocals), and Mike (bass guitar), all of whom found solace and unity in music. They lived a few blocks away from each other and, as teenagers, they would often hang out in each other’s garages, playing music and dreaming of making it big someday. Reflecting Raid started off by performing in local bars and pubs. They gradually built a dedicated fan base with their captivating live performances and original compositions.

By 2017, Reflecting Raid had become a household name in their hometown. Their popularity started to expand beyond local boundaries when they got a big break to perform at a renowned music festival in New York. This performance opened the door for them to the wider world, and they have never looked back since.

Title:

“Shards of Yesterday”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em G D A
Morning sun, breaking in the new day,
Em G D A
Look at me, I’m lost in my old ways,
Em G D A
Broken hearts, scattered like the glass,
Em G D A
In the mirror, reflecting my past.

(Chorus)
C G D Em
Shards of yesterday, piercing through,
C G D Em
Reminding me of what I once knew,
C G D Em
In the mirror, I see my own face,
C G D Em
Reflecting Raid, lost in time’s embrace.

(Verse 2)
Em G D A
Nights so long, filled with silent screams,
Em G D A
Echoes of the forgotten dreams,
Em G D A
Crystal clear, yet so hard to see,
Em G D A
In the mirror, the person I used to be.

Repeat Chorus

“There’s always something magical about Reflecting Raid’s music. It’s not just their superb melodies, the rawness in Zack’s voice, or the emotion in Rachel’s keys, it’s the emotional connection that their music creates. Their songs resonate with my life and my struggles. ‘Shards of Yesterday’ particularly helped me through a tough time. Every lyric, every beat, felt like it was written just for me. Reflecting Raid is not just a band to me, they’ve become a part of my life, my solace in solitude.”
