Backstory:
Euphoric Burden, a band hailing from a small, nondescript town in Northern Vermont, came together in 2010. The four members, childhood friends who had grown up on a rich diet of music, ranging from classic rock to pop, found a unique, unifying sound that resonated with individuals who sought more than what mainstream music had to offer. The band’s heart and soul, lead vocalist and songwriter, Jesse Matthews, along with lead guitarist, Alex Knox, bassist, Mike Turner, and drummer, Phil Johnson, bonded over their shared love for music and the dream to create something extraordinary.

Euphoric Burden’s rise to fame was anything but instant. They started by playing in local bars and festivals, slowly building a fan base that appreciated their unique sound. Their breakthrough came in 2015 when they were discovered by a record label scout at one such local gig; they have been on a steady ascent ever since. Despite their growing fame, Euphoric Burden has stayed true to their roots, maintaining their authentic sound and connection with their fans.

Title:
“Chasing Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Am – E
In these winding streets, where echoes meet,
G – D
I’ve been chasing shadows, lost in retreat.

Am – E
A ghostly whisper, a silent plea,
G – D
Looking for answers in a mystery.

[Chorus]
C – G – D
Chasing shadows, in the dark,
Am – E
Running circles, missing the mark.
C – G – D
A quest for truth, a desperate art,
Am – E
In chasing shadows, we fall apart.

[Verse 2]
Am – E
In the mirror’s reflection, a stranger’s face,
G – D
Chasing shadows, in an endless race.

Am – E
The clock is ticking, time’s cruel game,
G – D
In the pursuit, we’re all the same.

[Chorus]
C – G – D
Chasing shadows, in the dark,
Am – E
Running circles, missing the mark.
C – G – D
A quest for truth, a desperate art,
Am – E
In chasing shadows, we fall apart.
