Sleepy Vessel was born on the campus of a small liberal arts college in the Midwest in the summer of 2005. Childhood friends, Adam Jones and Michael Forbes, bonded over their love for poetic lyrics and haunting melodies, went from playing at local coffee shops to captivating the entire campus with their soul-stirring music. Adam’s poignant lyrics, coupled with Michael’s experimental guitar riffs, began to garner serious attention. After graduating, they were joined by the incredibly talented drummer, Sophie Reid, and together, the trio embarked on a musical journey that would forever redefine their lives.

Title:
“Whispering Shadows”

Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
Beneath the moonlight, we stole a glance,
G D
Lost in a moment, caught in a dance.
Em C
Our hearts were pounding, in tune with the night,
G D
Whispering shadows, guiding us right.

(Chorus)
C G
We are dreamers under the stars,
D Em
Wandering aimlessly, bearing our scars.
C G
Through the darkness, we find our way,
D Em
Chasing the dawn, waiting for day.

(Verse 2)
Em C
In the silent echoes, we found our song,
G D
In the sleepy vessel, we truly belong.
Em C
With love as our compass, and hope as our sail,
G D
We ride the storm, we brave the gale.

(Chorus)
C G
We are dreamers under the stars,
D Em
Wandering aimlessly, bearing our scars.
C G
Through the darkness, we find our way,
D Em
Chasing the dawn, waiting for day.
