1. Short Backstory:

Pleased Thing formed in the bustling scene of 1990s Seattle, initially as an indie side project of three high school friends, Madison ‘Maddy’ Wells (vocals), Dylan ‘Ghost’ Jacobs (guitar), and Samantha ‘Sammy’ Roes (drums). Known for their late-night jam sessions in Maddy’s basement, the trio created a unique style that quickly gained a cult-like following in their local music scene. Later joined by bassist Ray ‘Stingray’ Garcia, the band’s sound matured into a fusion of alternative rock, grunge, and a hint of folk, making them pioneers of a new sub-genre.

Their journey has been marked with highs and lows, from sold-out backyard gigs to near break-ups, but their underlying love for music and one another has kept them together. Their sound, deeply rooted in the emotions and experiences of their youth, connects with listeners of all ages and resonates with those who yearn for a taste of raw, unfiltered emotion in music.

4. Full song lyrics:

Verse 1:
In this crowded room, full of empty faces,
I find solace in the corners, in the darkest spaces.
Caught between the now and the places we’ve been,
I’m stranded here, lost in reverie again.

Chorus:
Lost in reverie, can’t you see?
Our past is a ghost, a haunting melody.
Caught in your orbit, I cannot break free,
I’m sinking deeper, lost in reverie.

Verse 2:
We danced in the moonlight, under velvet skies,
Now all that remains are the echoes of your lies.
In the ruins of our love, I’m left to roam,
In this labyrinth of memories, I’ve made my home.

Chorus:
Lost in reverie, can’t you see?
Our love’s a shipwreck in this stormy sea.
Marooned on this island of our history,
I’m drowning slowly, lost in reverie.

Bridge:
The echoes of laughter, the shadow of a kiss,
A spectral love, it’s you I miss.
Caged by the past, unable to flee,
Forever doomed, lost in reverie.

Chorus:
Lost in reverie, can’t you see?
Our love’s a phantom, a distorted reality.
Tangled in this web of our shared memory,
I’m trapped forever, lost in reverie.
