Backstory:

Pleased Friend began its journey as a group of three childhood friends, who spent their after-school hours in a shabby garage, shaping their shared passion for music. The band was formed in the small Midwestern town of Cedar Springs, Michigan, in 2009. The trio, consisting of Bill Wells on vocals and guitar, Mike Duffy on drums, and Stephen Clark on bass, started as a cover band. They got their name from an inside joke about a comic strip they all loved. After winning a local Battle of the Bands, the trio decided to focus on creating their own music, incorporating their favorite elements from various genres they loved playing.

Genre:
Indie Rock

Title:
“Echoes in the Attic”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] I found her [D] letters in the [Em] attic
[C] Dusty and [G] frail, [D] lost in [Em] time
[G] Words of [D] love and [Em] wild teenage dreams,
[C] Echoes of a [G] past, [D] no longer [Em] mine.

(Chorus)
[Am] Echoes in the [C] attic,
[G] Whispering tales of [D] love and magic,
[Am] In every line, [C] I find,
A [G] piece of us that’s [D] left behind.

(Verse 2)
[G] Memories [D] flood in [Em] torrents,
[C] Smiles, tears, [G] and youthful [D] torment,
[G] Her scent [D] lingers in [Em] the parchment,
[C] An olfactory [G] ghost, [D] forever [Em] enchant.

(Chorus)
[Am] Echoes in the [C] attic,
[G] Spinning tales of [D] love dramatic,
[Am] In every word, [C] I heard,
A [G] love song that’s [D] never deferred.

Bridge:
[Em] Love’s [C] not lost, it’s [G] just dormant,
[D] Hidden in [Em] these letters [C] so potent,
[Em] Echoes of [C] love, never [G] absent,
[D] In the attic, love’s [Em] remnants are present.

(Chorus)
[Am] Echoes in the [C] attic,
[G] Unfolding tales so [D] ecstatic,
[Am] In her words, [C] I felt,
A [G] love, so profound, [D] never dealt.

Outro:
[G] Echoing [D] love, [Em] forever in the attic,
[C] In the silence, [G] her words [D] are so [Em] emphatic.
