Backstory:
Pointed Transport is a band that emerged from the underground music scene of Portland, Oregon, in late 2008. It all began when four friends, primarily coworkers at a local record store; Jesse Turner (lead vocals, guitar), Max Lawson (bass guitar, backing vocals), Amanda Brewer (drums), and Eddie Mason (keyboard, backing vocals) started to jam together in their free time. They connected over their shared love for alternative rock and their dissatisfaction with the mainstream music scene. These jam sessions soon turned into full-fledged performances at local venues, with Pointed Transport quickly gaining a cult following for their unique sound and evocative lyrics.
Genre:
Pointed Transport primarily plays Alternative Rock, but they incorporate elements of Indie, Punk and even a touch of Psychedelic Rock. The irreplicable mix of these genres blended with their thought-provoking lyrics and mesmerizing stage performances set them apart from many other bands in the scene.
Title:
“Chasing Echoes”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse1)
[G] Waking up to the [D] sound of silence, [Em] in a world that’s [C] lost its balance,
[G] Searching for a [D] voice that echoes, [Em] in the halls of [C] all our sorrows.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Chasing Echoes, [D] chasing echoes, [Em] through the tunnels of [C] time,
[G] Finding memories, [D] burning embers, [Em] of a love that’s hard [C] to find.
(Verse2)
[G] Shadows dance on [D] empty pages, [Em] where we wrote our [C] little fables,
[G] In this maze of [D] broken dreams, [Em] we find our hearts [C] in stable.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Chasing Echoes, [D] chasing echoes, [Em] through the tunnels of [C] time,
[G] Finding memories, [D] burning embers, [Em] of a love that’s hard [C] to find.
