Backstory:
Subdued Poison began as a garage band in the bustling city of Seattle, Washington. The band was formed in 2012 by high school friends, Iain “Frosty” Thompson (lead vocals, guitar), Aubrey “Buzz” Mason (drums), and Luna “Pixie” Cortez (bass, backing vocals). All three shared a love for music that resonated with the human soul, reflecting the complexities of life and love entangled in darkness and light. Frosty was the creative force behind the music; he envisaged the seamless blend of melodic melancholy with energetic beats that Subdued Poison soon became known for.

Despite their humble beginnings, Subdued Poison quickly made a name for themselves in the local music scene, winning several amateur band contests. Their unique, soulful sound and emotionally charged lyrics began to capture the attention of a wider audience. Their popularity skyrocketed after their song, ‘Waves in the Storm,’ was featured on a popular TV show. The band has since released three full-length albums and is currently on a nationwide tour.

Title:
“An Echo’s Whisper”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
G Em
In the silence of the night, I hear your voice,
Am Bm
A haunting melody, I’ve no choice.
G Em
Your whispers echo through my mind,
Am Bm
A symphony of love, hard to find.

[Chorus]
G D Em
An echo’s whisper, in the dark,
C G D
Revealing secrets, leaving a mark.
G D Em
In your absence, your voice rings clear,
C G D
Drawing me closer, pulling me near.

[Verse 2]
G Em
I walk the path, where we used to tread,
Am Bm
Each step echoing, words unsaid.
G Em
Your laughter lingers, in the breeze,
Am Bm
A silent whisper, in the trees.

[Chorus]
G D Em
An echo’s whisper, sweet and slow,
C G D
In every corner, shadows grow.
G D Em
In the hush, I feel you near,
C G D
An echo’s whisper, only I can hear.
