Backstory: Thick Direction arose from the bustling music scene of Manchester, England, in 2007. It began as a group of five friends, Paul Martin, Chris Evans, Max Rivers, Rick Lewis, and Gary Moore, who shared a common passion for music and an ambitious dream. They all met in college, bonding over late-night jam sessions and a shared affinity for the classic rock of the ’70s. Thick Direction took a major step in their career when they won a local battle of the bands competition, catching the attention of a renowned music producer who offered them a record deal. Their journey since has been a rollercoaster ride, facing several obstacles but always coming out on top, with their music and camaraderie holding them together and propelling them forward.

Title: “Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Wandering down the [D]old town streets,
[Em]Lost in memories, [C]feeling the beats.
[G]Riding on dreams, and [D]chasing the sun,
[Em]Back when we were young, [C]having our fun.
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing shadows, [D]in the dark,
[Em]Playing our music, [C]leaving a mark.
[G]Running wild, [D]under the stars,
[Em]Living on the edge, [C]playing our guitars.
(Verse 2)
[G]Those were the days, [D]of truth and dare,
[Em]Walking on the edge, [C]without a care.
[G]Broke but happy, [D]high on life,
[Em]Bleeding passion, [C]cut like a knife.
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing shadows, [D]in the night,
[Em]Playing our music, [C]with all our might.
[G]Living dreams, [D]in our heads,
[Em]Laughing and singing, [C]till the night sheds.
