1. Backstory:
Formed in the heart of Seattle, Washington in 2010, Vital Jar is a dynamic quartet of musicians who have been setting the indie rock scene ablaze with their bold sonic texture and emotive lyricism. The band was initiated by childhood friends Benjamin “Benji” Thompson (vocalist/guitarist) and Oliver “Ollie” Hamilton (drummer), who later recruited Emily Darden (bassist) and Remy Anderson (keyboardist) to complete the lineup.
The band members quickly bonded over their shared love for offbeat melodies, energetic rhythm, and poetic lyrics. Their name Vital Jar is a metaphor for their music acting as a vessel that carries and preserves life experiences, emotions, and thoughts, which they pour into their songs. Their breakout hit, “Flickers and Echoes,” in 2015 catapulted them into the indie rock limelight.

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the folded echoes of a twilight dream,
We dance with shadows, unseen.
Underneath a sky of diamond spar,
We found each other in the dark.
(Chorus)
Unseen threshold, where the stars align,
In your eyes, I see the universe divine.
Lost in the echo, found in the sublime,
Unseen threshold, with you, I cross the line.
(Verse 2)
Between whispers of the silent night,
In the echoes of your heartbeat, I ignite.
Beneath the gaze of the cosmic art,
We etch our story in the heart.
(Chorus)
Unseen threshold, where the dreams collide,
In your touch, I find a place to hide.
Lost in the rhythm, caught in the tide,
Unseen threshold, with you, I’m bona fide.
(Bridge)
In the echoes of a dream, we converge,
On the unseen threshold, we emerge.
No borders to cross, no sins to purge,
In this vital jar, our hearts submerge.
(Chorus)
Unseen threshold, where love unfurls,
In your embrace, I find my world.
Lost in the moment, found in the swirl,
Unseen threshold, you’re my precious pearl.
(Outro)
In the echoes of our twilight dream,
We dance with shadows, forever unseen.
Underneath a sky of ever-sparkling spar,
We are, we are the vital jar.
