Backstory:
Hailing from the sun-soaked shores of Santa Cruz, California, ‘Selfish Enquiry’ formed during a chance meeting at a local beachside jam session. Members Trey Locke (lead vocals, guitar), Luna Davis (drums), and Max Emerson (bass, backing vocals) discovered they shared not only a love for music but also a unique vision of creating something distinctive from mainstream rock. Inspired by the sunsets over the Pacific Ocean and the surf culture of their hometown, they decided to embark on a musical journey together, thus ‘Selfish Enquiry’ was born. The band’s name is a representation of their introspective lyrics and willingness to ask the hard questions about life, self, and society.

Title:
“Wave Of Thoughts”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Caught in the [D] rhythm of the [Em] ocean,
[C] Basking in the [D] sunset’s golden [G] glow
[G] A whisper on the [D] wind, my [Em] silent devotion,
[C] To the world that [D] lies just beneath the [G] undertow.
(Chorus)
[G] Riding on a [D] wave of [Em] thoughts,
[C] We’re floating on the [D] moments we [G] bought.
[G] In the selfish [D] enquiry of [Em] life,
[C] We find peace amid [D] the strife. [G]
(Verse 2)
[G] The salty air, [D] it fills my [Em] lungs,
[C] Telling tales of [D] battles won and [G] lost.
[G] And as the final [D] day’s song is [Em] sung,
[C] We count the [D] joy, ignore the [G] cost.
(Chorus)
[G] Riding on a [D] wave of [Em] thoughts,
[C] We’re lost in the [D] dreams that we [G] sought.
[G] In the selfish [D] enquiry of [Em] life,
[C] We find love amid [D] the fight. [G]
