Backstory:
Born from the grit and grime of the Seattle underground music scene, Snarling Palace is a band that speaks to the raw, unfiltered spirit of rock n’ roll. The band was formed in 2012 by lead vocalist, Max “Snarl” Jennings, a grizzled industry veteran with a voice akin to crumbled granite and a heart full of lyrics yearning to be heard. Max found like-minded musicians in a wandering drummer, Stella “Thundersticks” Carmichael, a blistering guitarist, Sam “Shred” Maddox, and a smooth, cool bassist, Leo “Bassmeister” Fernandez. Together, they transformed their shared disillusionment with mainstream music and passion for honest, gut-punching sound into Snarling Palace.

Title:
“Echoes of Yesterday”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[A] Gazing through the rearview mirror, [E] Lost in the ashes of yesterday
[D] Memories, clearer and clearer, [A] whispering the words we couldn’t say.
(Chorus)
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] haunt my every tomorrow,
[D] Lost in the fray, [A] drowning in the sorrow.
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] like a siren’s song,
[D] Pulling me away, [A] where I don’t belong.
(Verse 2)
[A] Drifting on a sea of silence, [E] riding on a wave of regret,
[D] Defiance against the violence, [A] of a love we’re doomed to forget.
(Chorus)
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] stir the winds of change,
[D] In the disarray, [A] amid the life estrange.
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] in every tear I bleed,
[D] They whisper you away, [A] from where my heart needs.
(Bridge)
[D] Caught in the echoes, [A] trapped in the sorrow,
[E] Yearning for tomorrow, [A] lost in the echoes,
[D] Of yesterday.
(Chorus)
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] haunt my every tomorrow,
[D] Lost in the fray, [A] drowning in the sorrow.
[E] Echoes of yesterday, [A] like a siren’s song,
[D] Pulling me away, [A] where I don’t belong.
(Outro)
[A] Echoes of yesterday, [E] forever they remain,
[D] Stirring the disarray, [A] in the echoes of my pain.
