Backstory:
Rundown Symbol burst onto the music scene in the mid 90s, made up of four small-town friends: lead singer Jonas Reynolds, guitarist Paul “Storm” Durant, bassist Billy “The Kid” McAllister and drummer Lenny “Sticks” Mickelson. Hailing from the remote corners of New Hampshire, they all shared a common dream of making it big in the world of music. Their tight-knit friendship and shared passion for music helped them navigate the ups and downs of the industry and their early struggles. The band’s name, Rundown Symbol, is a tribute to their roots, reflecting the crumbling industrial town they come from, yet the hopes it still carries.

Title: “Echoes of Silence”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em7 G
Wandering down the lonely road,
C9 D
Searching for the stories untold.
Em7 G
Broken homes, fallen stars,
C9 D
These are the echoes of silence.

(Chorus)
G D
Echoes of silence, we are hearing,
Em7 C9
In the heart of the night, it’s searing.
G D
Echoes of silence, we keep bearing,
Em7 C9
In our hearts, the wounds are tearing.

(Verse 2)
Em7 G
On the ruins, in the mist,
C9 D
Carries a dream, we can’t resist.
Em7 G
Through the shadows, far and wide,
C9 D
Echoes of silence, can no longer hide.

(Chorus)
G D
Echoes of silence, piercing and clear,
Em7 C9
In the cold wind, it’s all we hear.
G D
Echoes of silence, in fear we kneel,
Em7 C9
In the echoes, our souls reveal.

“I’ve always loved music, but the first time I heard Rundown Symbol, it was different. Their raw emotion, the haunting melodies, and the way their lyrics spoke to me, it was like they were telling my own stories. They’ve become the soundtrack to my life. Their song ‘Echoes of Silence’ helped me through a lot of hard times. It’s more than just a band for me. They’re like the friends I’ve never met, telling me it’s okay to feel, to hurt, to hope. Rundown Symbol is not just my favorite band, it’s a part of who I am.”
