Backstory:

Respectful Scheme was formed in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, during the summer of 2012. The lineup consists of four childhood friends – lead vocalist and guitarist Max Day, bassist Luke Berry, drummer Chris Newman, and keyboardist Sam Evans. Initially, they were just playing for fun in each other’s garages after school, their shared love for music being the glue that held them together.

As time progressed, they began writing their own material, and it wasn’t long before they were performing at local bars and events. Their unique blend of sound and lyrical prowess quickly caught the attention of locals, and they soon gained a loyal fanbase. Fueled by their passion and the warmth of their newfound fans, Respectful Scheme decided to take the leap and pursue music full-time.

“Shades of Blue”

Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[C] Looking at the [Am] world through the [Em] shades of blue [G]
[Dm] Wondering if I’ll ever [G] get over you
[C] Each day passing by [Am] feels like a [Em] year [G]
[Dm] It’s hard to hold back this [G] ocean of tears

(Chorus)
[C] But in the [Am] shades of blue, [Em] I see the truth [G]
[Dm] You were never meant to [G] stay
[C] And in the [Am] shades of blue, [Em] I’ll find someone new [G]
[Dm] Time will wash the sadness [G] away

(Verse 2)
[C] Those empty nights [Am] and the [Em] lonely days [G]
[Dm] Trying to erase all those [G] memories we made
[C] It’s not that easy [Am] to forget your [Em] face [G]
[Dm] But I know someday I’ll [G] win this race

(Chorus)
[C] In the [Am] shades of blue, [Em] I see the truth [G]
[Dm] You were never meant to [G] stay
[C] And in the [Am] shades of blue, [Em] I’ll find someone new [G]
[Dm] Time will wash the sadness [G] away
