“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Gm F
Running down the field, under the twilight,
C Dm
Dreams as tough as steel, need to take flight.
Em F
Remembering the days, when we were free,
Am D
Now I’m just chasing shadows, can’t you see?
(Chorus)
Gm F
Chasing shadows, running from the past,
C Dm
Hoping this race, somehow would last.
Em Am
Chasing shadows, it’s a demanding sport,
D
We are never giving up, we retort.
(Verse 2)
Gm F
Sweat streaming down, as the crowd roars,
C Dm
Our dreams, our sound, it all pours.
Em F
We are more than just a band,
Am D
We’re a team, making our final stand.
(Chorus)
Gm F
Chasing shadows, running from the past,
C Dm
Hoping this race, somehow would last.
Em Am
Chasing shadows, it’s a demanding sport,
D
We are never giving up, we retort.
Favorite Fan’s Testimonial:
My name is Ben Turner, and Demanding Sport is my absolute favorite band! Their energy, their sound, it’s unlike anything else. As a basketball player, their music speaks to me on another level. It’s more than just catchy tunes, it’s the story of the struggle, the drive, the passion that I feel every day on the court. They inspire me to push through, to chase my own shadows and to never give up. Their song “Chasing Shadows” is my go-to before every game. It pumps me up and makes me feel invincible. I can’t wait to see where they go next, and I’ll be cheering them on every step of the way.
