Backstory:
The Scented Counter began as a group of four college friends from Boston who shared a passion for music, an obsession for vinyl records, and an appreciation for unique scents. The name ‘Scented Counter’ came from their first meeting place, an old record store encased with the scent of vintage vinyl records, a mix of old wood, and incense. The founding members are Tom Hall (lead vocalist, guitar), Joey Adams (bass, backing vocals), Robert ‘Robbie’ Lewis (drums), and Amy Harrison (keyboard, backing vocals). The band was founded in 2010, and they quickly gained attention for their unique sound and energetic performances. Their fan base has grown steadily as they continue to tour and record, and they are known for their engaging live shows and dedicated fan interaction.

Title:
“Candlelight Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Em
Burning at both ends,
G
like a candle in the wind,
D
I see my life in shadows,
A
flickering within.

Em
Memories of laughter,
G
the scent of a summer’s rain,
D
A counter full of stories,
A
lost in life’s game.

[Chorus]
C
But we dance in the candlelight,
G
where shadows are our song,
D
On this scented counter,
Em
where our hearts belong.

[Verse 2]
Em
Sifting through old records,
G
we find our favorite tune,
D
It’s a melody of friendship,
A
underneath the moon.

Em
As the needle finds its groove,
G
and the music starts to play,
D
We find our rhythm in the chaos,
A
and dance the night away.

[Chorus]
C
We dance in the candlelight,
G
where shadows are our song,
D
On this scented counter,
Em
where our hearts belong.

[Bridge]
F
In the glow of candlelight,
G
we find our truth,
Am
Surrounded by the scent,
G
of our untamed youth.

[Chorus]
C
We dance in the candlelight,
G
where shadows are our song,
D
On this scented counter,
Em
where our hearts belong.
