VibeFoundry - Shadows of Memphis | Prohibition Rock

Dive into the haunting blend of southern rock and 1930s jazz-inspired grit with "Shadows of Memphis." This track captures the dark allure of a city shaped by crime, blues, and legends like Machine Gun Kelly. Featuring raw vocals, wailing slide guitars, muted trumpets, and swing-style drums, it’s a journey through smoky alleys and neon-lit streets where shadows whisper the stories of the past.

Lyrics:
Smoke rolls thick where the river bends,
A city of sinners with no amends.
Whiskey flows where the dark deals hide,
On Memphis streets where justice died.

In the shadows of Memphis, where the lights don’t glow,
Blood stains the alleys where secrets grow.

Bootleg trails down the river’s spine,
Barrels of bourbon, they call it fine.
Machine Gun Kelly made his stand,
But Memphis law was a ruthless hand.

The blues were born from pain and sin,
Echoes of chains and hearts worn thin.
Memphis cries, but the city won’t fall,
It’s a devil’s game behind every wall.

Crumbling bricks and neon haze,
Souls are lost in the smoky maze.
Gunfire echoes through Beale Street’s bars,
Under a sky of fading stars.

The lawmen came with their badges cold,
Chasing shadows, chasing gold.
Machine Gun Kelly took his last breath,
But Memphis kept its dance with death.

In the shadows of Memphis, where the lights don’t glow,
Blood stains the alleys where secrets grow.

Memphis stands where the river flows,
With stories carved in the stones it knows.
A city of legends, sin, and pride,
Where shadows and truth collide.
