Backstory:

Twin Commission was formed in the bustling city of Portland, Oregon in early 2011. The band is made up of identical twin brothers, Ethan and Aaron Matthew. Ethan, the lead vocalist, learned to play the guitar at the age of ten, while Aaron, the drummer, developed a love for percussion instruments around the same time. They grew up in a musically enriched household, with both parents being former members of local bands in the 80s. Although they started out performing at school functions and local community events, they quickly gained recognition for their unique sound and infectious energy. Their close-knit bond not only as brothers but also as musicians, is apparent in their perfectly synchronized performances and harmonious songwriting.

Title:

“Chasing Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Em
Underneath the starlit sky,
G
We listen to the city’s sigh
D
Two hearts chasing shadows
A
In between these narrow rows

(Chorus)
Em G
We are the echoes of our past,
D A
Running fast, oh so fast
Em G
We’re the melody in the night,
D A
Burning bright, oh so bright

(Verse 2)

Em
In the silence of the dawn,
G
We find the strength to carry on
D
In the echoes of our dreams,
A
We see the truth behind the scenes

(Chorus)
Em G
We are the echoes of our past,
D A
Running fast, oh so fast
Em G
We’re the melody in the night,
D A
Burning bright, oh so bright

(Bridge)
F#m
Underneath the veil of time,
Bm
We find our rhythm, we find our rhyme

(Chorus)
Em G
We are the echoes of our past,
D A
Running fast, oh so fast
Em G
We’re the melody in the night,
D A
Burning bright, oh so bright
