Backstory:
Blank Sleet was formed in the heart of New York City in 2013. The band’s four members, Sophia (vocalist), Tom (bassist), James (guitarist), and Richard (drummer), first crossed paths at a local open mic night. They shared similar musical tastes and a mutual passion for crafting authentic, emotionally charged music, and in no time, they began to jam together. A few late-night jamming sessions in James’ basement led to the inception of a band that would soon capture hearts with its distinctive sound.
Their journey from playing in small, dimly lit bars to sold-out concert arenas was not without hardships. Yet, the band stood strong, using these struggles to fuel their music, adding depth and a unique touch to their sound. Today, Blank Sleet is a name synonymous with authenticity, raw emotion, and undying passion for music.

Song Title:
“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Down the alleyways, [D] under city lights,
[Em] Chasing shadows in the [C] dead of night.
[G] Dreams crumbled, secrets [D] spilled,
[Em] Yet we keep running, [C] chasing the thrill.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] always in flight,
[Em] Lost in the darkness, [C] seeking light.
[G] A wild chase, an endless [D] fight,
[Em] In the midst of chaos, [C] we ignite.
(Verse 2)
[G] Echoes of laughter, [D] tears we’ve shed,
[Em] Memories dancing in our [C] heads.
[G] Through heartbreak, through [D] bliss,
[Em] We are the story, we are [C] this.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] beneath the moon’s glow,
[Em] Running from the past, [C] braving the unknown.
[G] A reckless pursuit, a story [D] untold,
[Em] In the midst of silence, [C] we unfold.
