Backstory:
Well-Groomed Chance was birthed from the unison of four high school friends in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas. Each band member, drawn together by a shared zest for music and a burning desire to change the world one beat at a time, decided to form a band right after their graduation in 2007. They poured their passion for life, love, and everything in between into their music, creating a unique sound that was as much a tribute to their roots as it was a testament to their dreams. The band, comprising lead vocalist and guitarist Mark Collins, drummer Riley Johnson, bassist Luke Adams, and keyboardist Ben Matthews, has navigated the tumultuous journey of the music industry, facing their fair share of trials and triumphs, and emerging stronger after each one.

“Rhythm of the Silence”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]I found a letter in the rain [D]
[G]Words washed away by pain [D]
[C]Only your signature remained, [A7]
[G]In the rhythm of the silence. [D]
(Chorus)
[G]We danced in the echoes of our past [D]
[G]Swore that every moment would last [D]
[C]But here I am, holding fast [A7]
[G]To the rhythm of the silence [D]
(Verse 2)
[G]The moonlight on your face [D]
[G]Places we can’t replace [D]
[C]But now there’s just an empty space [A7]
[G]In the rhythm of the silence [D]
(Chorus)
[G]We used to paint the town with our dreams [D]
[G]Now everything is not as it seems [D]
[C]I’m lost in these endless streams [A7]
[G]Of the rhythm of the silence [D]
(End)
[G]Through the highs and the lows [D]
[G]There’s one thing I know [D]
[C]Our love was a perfect show, [A7]
[G]In the rhythm of the silence [D]
