Backstory:
Formed in the heart of New York City during the fall of 2009, Emotional Incidence is the brainchild of four college friends, each hailing from different corners of the USA but united under the banner of music. The members, lead singer Erin White, drummer Mike Anderson, guitarist Jack Williams, and bassist Ethan Brown, all met while studying at the renowned Julliard School of Music. With a shared passion for music and a mutual understanding of the emotions it can evoke, they started making music together during late-night jamming sessions in their dorm rooms. Over time, the foursome realized their shared chemistry and decided to write their own songs, leading to the creation of Emotional Incidence. Their music seeks to capture the essence of human emotions and the various incidences in life that provoke them.
Genre:
Emotional Incidence pursues an eclectic mix of Alternative Rock and Indie Pop, flavored with a touch of emotional ballads and lyrical storytelling.
Title:
“Chasing Shadows”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Sitting by the windowpane, [D]watching the falling rain,
[Em]Moments of joy, moments of sorrow, [C]all in a timeless game,
[G]Once we were brave, a love that [D]no storm could tame,
[Em]Now we’re just chasing shadows, [C]in the darkness once again.
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing shadows, [D]in the night,
[Em]Lost in the echoes of our [C]love’s twilight,
[G]Can we find the light, [D]can we make it right,
[Em]Or will we keep on chasing [C]shadows, out of sight?
(Verse 2)
[G]In the mirror of our past, [D]we see reflections cast,
[Em]Echoes of laughter, echoes of tears, [C]from a love that didn’t last,
[G]We danced in the sun, till it [D]set too fast,
[Em]Now we’re just chasing shadows, [C]held captive by the past.
(Chorus)
[G]Chasing shadows, [D]in the night,
[Em]Lost in the echoes of our [C]love’s twilight,
[G]Can we find the light, [D]can we make it right,
[Em]Or will we keep on chasing [C]shadows, out of sight?
