Backstory:
Wary Invitation was formed in the bustling city of Seattle during the latter part of 2014. The quartet, composed of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Milo Stafford, lead guitarist Naomi Kerr, bassist Alex Redwood, and drummer Harry Gardner, found each other through a shared love of music and a shared disillusionment with the mainstream music industry. Their early days were filled with late-night jam sessions in dingy basements and low-key performances in local bars. The band’s unique blend of thoughtful lyrics and layered instrumentals quickly caught the attention of a local record label, and the rest, as they say, is history.
After signing a record deal, Wary Invitation quickly began to gain a following. Their debut album, ‘The Path Less Trodden’, reached number 12 on the Billboard charts, and the band’s sophomore effort, ‘Into the Fray’, has been met with critical acclaim. Despite their success, the members of Wary Invitation remain grounded, maintaining a close relationship with their fans and never forgetting their humble beginnings.

Title:
“Shadows in the Deep”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1: C, Am, Em, G)
C Am Em G
In the city’s neon glow,
C Am Em G
The shadows start to roam,
C Am Em G
Seeking solace in the whispers,
C Am Em G
Far away from home.
(Chorus: F, C, G, Am)
F C G Am
We are shadows in the deep,
F C G Am
Running from promises we promised to keep,
F C G Am
In the echoes of the night,
F C G Am
We find the strength to fight.
(Verse 2: C, Am, Em, G)
C Am Em G
On the edge of the unknown,
C Am Em G
We find our hearts collide,
C Am Em G
In the silence of the moonlight,
C Am Em G
No secrets left to hide.
(Chorus: F, C, G, Am)
F C G Am
We are shadows in the deep,
F C G Am
Running from the past we couldn’t keep,
F C G Am
In the echoes of the night,
F C G Am
We find the courage to take flight.
