Approved Artist Bio (copy& paste)
"You Ruin Every Holiday!" his mother yelled across the Thanksgiving dinner table. Dan Pyle was a hyper child growing up in Columbia, Maryland, a multicultural environment. He received his first guitars at the age of 16 from his mom, after she heard the lyrics to Metallica's "Fade to Black" for the first time. She made Dan promise to perform it at her eventual funeral, and passed away only a few short years later. "Mom played piano for over 55 years, so I incorporate a lot of piano into my music as an ongoing tribute. I can always feel her with me when I'm composing a new piano piece." Self-described as Alternative Rock, trying to find a similar artist can be a challenge, as Grooves to Chaos provides an interesting clash of brands, from RATM to Mazzy Star, Metallica to Pink Floyd, EDM to Twiddle - there's a taste of many genres to enjoy. As for musical accolades and achievements, you'll find that Grooves To Chaos only has one at the moment -- taking a chance on chasing a dream a little later on in life. Dan plays all the instruments, composes and produces all GTC's music, and his girlfriend, Grace Anastasiadis, sits in as a vocalist and consultant. Just everyday people making high-quality tunes. |
Lyrics
These muddy streets Are caked with poverty and deceit A deadly promise fulfilled And a culture killed There's nothing left here but lies To change the face And bleed into the cracks Of this once proud place Leave it alone Just let it be You don't need to conquer everything that you see But it's too late now History can't make a difference anyhow Bleed this hate Flee to escape my fate Dark destiny Doomed am I Free to fall Failed to see This pain inside of me My bleeding glass heart Crystallized agony I failed to see This pain inside of me Go ahead and smile your lies Deny the problems and avoid the eyes That plead for recognition From your senseless ambition I hope that when you started You at least had a heart Maybe it got lost in the money Where exactly does corruption start? Leave it alone Just let it be You don't need to conquer everything that you see I am sorry for All of those who came before Your land was raped and taken With a greed so blatant People murdered for metal It will never be settled When I look around all that I see Are imperial casualties Bleed this hate Flee to escape my fate Dark destiny Doomed am I Free to fall Failed to see This pain inside of me My bleeding glass heart Crystallized agony I failed to see This pain inside of me My bleeding glass heart Crystallized agony I failed to see This pain inside of me |
