Together, they started performing at local pubs, climbing their way up the ladder of the Austin music scene until they became one of the town’s most beloved local bands.

“Echoes of Yesterday”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C] Drifting through the [Am] hallways,
[F] Pictures on the [G] wall,
[C] Memories that [Am] haunts us,
[F] Echoes of [G] yesterday’s call.
(Chorus)
[C] Oh, we’re spinning [Am] round and round,
[F] Lost in the sound,
[G] Of the echoes of yesterday.
[C] In the silence [Am] we drown,
[F] As the past comes [G] crashing down,
[C] We’re just echoes [Am] of yesterday.
(Verse 2)
[C] Shadows in the [Am] mirror,
[F] Faces we once [G] knew,
[C] Time has been a [Am] thief,
[F] Stealing moments [G] we thought were true.
(Chorus)
[C] Oh, we’re spinning [Am] round and round,
[F] Lost in the sound,
[G] Of the echoes of yesterday.
[C] In the silence [Am] we drown,
[F] As the past comes [G] crashing down,
[C] We’re just echoes [Am] of yesterday.

“Vacant Spoon has been my favorite band since I first saw them at a small gig in my hometown. Their music speaks to me on a deep level. Their lyrics are poetry, and their melodies are hypnotic. No matter what mood I’m in, their music always resonates with me. Their live shows are an experience like no other – the energy, the connection with the audience, it’s incredible. I feel like they’re not just playing for the crowd, they’re playing for every individual there. I am proud to call myself a fan!”
