Every Us don’t make noise just to be heard. They build tension, let it breathe and trust that emotion will do the heavy lifting. The Motions is a slow burn dressed in distortion. A song that captures what it feels like to drift through your days on autopilot while quietly wondering when you stopped feeling alive.
Every Us isn’t a traditional NYC band, but rather a music collective and community built around the idea of belonging. Live events have brought together over 200 artists across NYC, spanning folk to R&B to jazz.
The guitars carry a distorted shine, gritty but controlled, like static cutting through calm. Beneath that, the rhythm section moves with purpose, never rushing, just keeping time with the weight of the lyrics. It’s indie art pop with a pulse, textured and absolutely impossible to tune out once you’ve locked in.
Vocally, it’s calm but heavy. There’s no overreach here; the power comes from the restraint. Every word lands like a private confession. Melodic and quietly anthemic, it lingers longer than it should, with the kind of hook that sneaks up and stays with you.
By the end, “The Motions” feels less like a single and more like an experience. One that mirrors the uneasy rhythm of real life. Every Us manage to make disconnection sound beautiful, turning the grind of existence into something that glows from the inside out.
Even when you’re just going through “the motions,” this song reminds you: there’s still movement and meaning underneath it all.
“The Motions” was written and produced by Ryan Jones, and features contributions from Olivia Reid, Connor Sandstrom, and Chynna Sherrod, mixed and mastered by Ian Kimmel.
