Backstory:
Ashamed Claim was born out of a college dormitory in 2009, where four friends – Jace Malone (vocals), Casey Hartman (guitar), Leo Vaughan (bass), and Tucker Reed (drums) – decided to channel their lifelong passion for music into something tangible. Their unique blend of styles and backgrounds gave birth to a new sound, truly representing their shared love for music and their individual experiences. Despite the band’s name, the quartet is anything but ashamed of their claim to create music that touches the soul and stirs up emotions in the listeners.

Their break came in 2012 when they won a local battle of the bands competition, which led to their first record deal. The subsequent decade saw Ashamed Claim establish themselves as a mainstay in their genre, producing multiple albums, touring worldwide, and building a loyal fanbase. Their journey of exploring themselves through their music and connecting deeply with their fans has been the driving force behind their success.

Alternative Rock

Song Title:
“Chasing Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Caught in a dream, [Em] tearing at the seams,
[C] Dance to an old song, [D] feeling like I don’t belong.
[G] Down this lonely road, [Em] bearing a heavy load,
[C] Seeking reality, [D] amidst this duality.

(Chorus)
[G] I’m just chasing shadows, [D] in the dead of night,
[Em] Searching for answers, [C] finding no respite.
[G] In this endless run, [D] under the setting sun,
[Em] I’m just chasing shadows, [C] until I find the right one.

(Verse 2)
[G] In the heart of chaos, [Em] finding the path across,
[C] A journey within, [D] shedding my own skin.
[G] Echoes of the past, [Em] fading fast,
[C] In the mirror’s reflection, [D] seeking my direction.

(Chorus)
[G] I’m just chasing shadows, [D] in the realm of the unknown,
[Em] Between reality and dreams, [C] finding a way to atone.
[G] In this eternal quest, [D] giving it my best,
[Em] I’m just chasing shadows, [C] till I find my rest.
