Backstory:

Wry Lift is a result of a chance meeting between four music enthusiasts from four different corners of the world at an international music festival in London. The band was formed in the fall of 2010 when Jack Kellerman (lead vocalist) from Ireland crossed paths with German bass guitarist Stefan Heidenreich, Australian drummer Tommy McArthur, and American lead guitarist Kyle Harper. They realized they share a common passion for music and an urge to create a unique sound. They decided to collaborate and hence Wry Lift was born. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they found a unified voice through their music and since then, they’ve been wowing audiences worldwide with their unique blend of eclectic and soulful tunes.

Genre:

Wry Lift falls under the Alternative Rock genre with a mix of Indie Pop. Their music is a refreshing blend of powerful guitar riffs, soulful vocals, and rhythmic drum patterns.

Song Title:

“Riding the Echoes”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G]Staring at the mirror, [Am]losing my sight,
[D]Chasing shadows, [C]through the night.
[G]Living on the edge, [Am]on a moonlit ride,
[D]Riding the echoes, [C]with the tide.

(Chorus)
[G]Riding the echoes, [Am]in my mind,
[D]Seeking answers, [C]that I can’t find.
[G]Lost in time, [Am]lost in space,
[D]Riding the echoes, [C]in a lonely place.

(Verse 2)
[G]Walking through the desert, [Am]under the blazing sun,
[D]Searching for a reason, [C]that’s long been gone.
[G]Running from the past, [Am]with nowhere to hide,
[D]Riding the echoes, [C]with the tide.

(Chorus)
[G]Riding the echoes, [Am]lost in a dream,
[D]Life ain’t always, [C]what it seems.
[G]Caught in a whirl, [Am]of love and hate,
[D]Riding the echoes, [C]it’s never too late.
