Backstory:
Thankful Payment was born somewhere between the glamour of Los Angeles and the rustic charm of Nashville. Originally, four friends, Mike Winslow, J.D. Bailey, Lisa Fields, and Tommy Lawson, had an idea of blending their diverse musical interests into a unique sound that would defy genre boundaries. They started out in 2005 as humble street performers, busking for spare change. Their honest and soulful performances attracted a local producer who helped them record their first EP. This chance encounter sparked the beginning of an exciting journey, as the band moved from the streets to sold-out concert venues. Thankful Payment has always maintained their humble roots, expressing gratitude for every opportunity and every fan that has supported their journey.

Title:
“Chasing Echoes”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1, Am, G, F, C)
In this town of broken dreams, Am
Where nothing’s as it seems, G
I found my heart, lost in your eyes, F
In the midst of all these lies. C
(Chorus, G, F, Am, G)
Chasing echoes of your voice, G
In the noise, I had no choice, F
I followed you, through every tear, Am
In your echoes, I found my fear. G
(Verse 2, Am, G, F, C)
Like a ghost, you haunt my mind, Am
A love, so undefined, G
In the echoes, I feel your touch, F
In your absence, I miss you so much. C
(Chorus, G, F, Am, G)
Chasing echoes, in the night, G
In the darkness, you’re my light, F
Your echoes, like a song, Am
In your echoes, I belong. G
(Outro, Am, G, F, C)
I’ll keep chasing echoes, until the end, Am
In the echoes, I find a friend, G
Your echoes, a thankful payment, F
In your echoes, is my statement. C
