Backstory:
Polished Motive was formed in the bustling music scene of Austin, Texas. The lead vocalist and guitarist, Ray Thompson, met drummer, Adam Garcia, in a local dive bar during a trivia night. Their shared love for music and a vision for something different led to an impromptu jam session, marking the genesis of Polished Motive. As the duo started playing small gigs, their unique sound caught the attention of bassist, Emily Ross, and keyboardist, Leo Williams. The four-piece band was complete, and they started gaining traction with their electrifying performances and soulful lyrics.
Genre:
Alternative Rock with hints of Blues and Folk.
Title:
“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am F C G
Walking down the road, feeling the rain,
Am F C G
Whispers of the wind call out your name,
Am F C G
The sky’s painted grey, echoes of pain,
Am F C G
In the midst of it all, I see your face.
[Chorus]
Am F C G
I’m chasing shadows in the pouring rain,
Am F C G
Looking for pieces of a love in vain.
Am F C G
Your memory lingers, driving me insane,
Am F C G
I’m lost in the rhythm of our old refrain.
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
Underneath the stars, feeling so small,
Am F C G
With your ghostly whispers in every hall,
Am F C G
In every corner, every dream I fall,
Am F C G
In the silence, I can hear your call.
[Chorus]
Am F C G
I’m chasing shadows in the cold moonlight,
Am F C G
Seeking comfort in the echoes of our last fight.
Am F C G
Your memory’s a ghost, fading from sight,
Am F C G
Yet in my heart, you’re the brightest light.

Testimonial:
Polished Motive is my favorite band because their music speaks to my soul. The raw emotion in Ray’s voice, the rhythm of Adam’s drums, the melody of Emily’s base, and the harmony of Leo’s keyboard all come together to create something truly unique. “Chasing Shadows” in particular always gets me—it’s like they’ve taken my deepest feelings and put them into a song. Seeing them perform live is an experience unlike any other; the energy they bring to the stage is electric. I’ve seen them five times and can’t wait for the next show.
