Backstory:
Right Quartz was formed in 2011 by childhood friends Barry McDonald and Frank Peters in the vibrant music hub of New York City. As graduates from the Juilliard School of Music, they shared a deep passion for sound and rhythm, experimenting with various genres from blues to jazz, and everything in between. The name “Right Quartz” came about through their fascination with sound frequency and purity, as quartz is known for its perfect pitch in musical instruments. They soon roped in multi-instrumentalist Sarah Lewis and drummer Riley Smith, finalizing the sound that would define Right Quartz.
Genre:
Right Quartz identifies most strongly with the Indie Pop genre, with undertones of Jazz and Blues. Their music is known for its complex melodies, beautifully layered harmonies, and meaningful lyrics. They tend to create music that speaks to the soul, the kind that makes you want to close your eyes and lose yourself in the rhythm.
Title:
“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
C G
Underneath the moonlit sky,
Am Em
Searching for a lullaby,
F C
Running wild, hearts in hand,
G C
Lost in our own wonderland.
[Verse 2]
C G
Through the city, under stars,
Am Em
Finding beauty in the scars,
F C
In the silence, we find peace,
G C
In the chaos, we find release.
[Chorus]
F C
We are chasing shadows,
G Am
Dancing between the lines,
F C
In a world of echoes,
G C
We find the rhythm, time after time.
[Verse 3]
C G
Mornings shrouded in mystique,
Am Em
Whispered words we never speak,
F C
Every moment holds a song,
G C
In this symphony, we belong.
[Chorus]
F C
We are chasing shadows,
G Am
Lost in the twilight’s glow,
F C
In a world of echoes,
G C
We find the rhythm, and let it flow.
