Backstory:
Originally formed in the sleepy town of Brighton, England, “Bright Blanket” was created when childhood friends, Jamie Philips and Chris Miller, decided to channel their mutual passion for music. They found fellow band members in Daisy Huxley, an extraordinarily talented bassist from their local school, and drummer Sam Robinson, who had been playing since he was six, discovered busking on the streets of their town. The friends would lock themselves in Jamie’s basement every weekend, creating a sound that was unique, free-spirited, and bursting with energy. Their local gigs soon gained popularity, and the band’s fan base exploded overnight when a song they uploaded online went viral.
Genre: Alternative Pop-Rock
Title: “The Dreams We Chased”
Full Song Lyrics (with chord progression):
(Verse 1 – Em, C, G, D)
Em
Underneath the crimson skies,
C
We laid our hearts bare and open wide.
G
We’ve got nothing but time,
D
And the dreams we chased in our mind.
(Chorus – C, G, Am, F)
C
The dreams we chased,
G
They leave no trace,
Am
In the world that’s spinning, haste upon haste.
F
Yet our hearts will remember the pace,
G
Of the dreams we chased.
(Verse 2 – Em, C, G, D)
Em
In the echoes of past laughter,
C
We found the silence we were after.
G
A bright blanket of hope,
D
Weaving tales with the dreams we’d cope.
(Chorus – C, G, Am, F)
C
The dreams we chased,
G
Are not misplaced,
Am
In the world that’s spinning, an endless race.
F
Yet our hearts will whisper the grace,
G
Of the dreams we chased.
