Pleasant Platform emerged from the vibrant indie music scene of Portland, Oregon. In 2011, four friends from college, Simon Parker on vocals and rhythm guitar, Maddie Jones on lead guitar and backing vocals, Dan Johnson on drums, and Tommy White on bass, decided to come together and channel their shared passion for music into a band. They named themselves ‘Pleasant Platform’, symbolizing the stage they wanted to create for their listeners where they could escape from their lives and find solace in music.
The band quickly gained a local following. Their raw, authentic sound coupled with their honest and heartfelt lyrics resonated with fans. In 2013, they were picked up by indie label, Driftwood Records and released their first EP. Since then, they have been touring and recording consistently, making their mark on the indie music scene.

4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Walking through the streets, under the city lights,
Lost in the rhythm of the echoes in the rain.
Memories flooding back, in black and white,
Filled with regrets, and struggles in vain.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the rain, footprints on the pavement,
Haunted by the past, chasing the moment.
In every drop that falls, I see your face,
Echoes in the rain, your memory, I can’t erase.
(Verse 2)
Your laughter still lingers, in the quiet corners of my mind,
Your touch, still a phantom sensation on my skin.
In the echoes in the rain, I’m trying to find,
A way to move on, a place to begin.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the rain, whispers in the wind,
Bitter-sweet symphony, of a love that’s been pinned.
In every drop that falls, I feel the pain,
Echoes in the rain, my heart, you still reign.
(Bridge)
Raindrops washing away, the traces of our love,
But the echoes remain, a reminder from above.
In the silence of the night, against my window pane,
All I hear are the echoes, echoes in the rain.
(Chorus)
Echoes in the rain, traces of our love’s refrain,
In the symphony of the night, I’m dancing with your ghost again.
In every drop that falls, I whisper your name,
Echoes in the rain, without you, it’s not the same.
