Backstory:
Excellent Desire was formed in early 2010 in the bustling heart of Denver, Colorado. The band’s members – lead vocalist Alex, guitarist and backup vocalist Taylor, drummer Connor, and bassist Max – were all childhood friends who shared a love for music. They started playing together in their parents’ garages when they were just teenagers, inspired by their diverse musical influences ranging from classic rock, punk, and contemporary pop. They began writing their own songs, and as they refined their sound, they gained a local following. Their big break came in 2013 when they won a citywide battle of the bands and were signed to a major record label.

“Chasing Stars”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]Underneath the city lights, [D]we’re dreaming with our eyes wide open, [Em]chasing what feels right, [C] even when we’re broken.
[G]Running from the past, [D]into the arms of the future, [Em]hoping that it lasts, [C] this feeling is our suture.
(Chorus)
[G]Oh, we’re just chasing stars, [D]trying to find who we are,
[Em]in the midst of the chaos, [C]we find our Excellent Desire.
[G]Living on a hope, [D]we’re more than just dreamers,
[Em]And in the darkness, we cope, [C]we’re the star chasers, believers.
(Verse 2)
[G]Through the city’s beating heart, [D]we’re dancing in the rhythm,
[Em]Tearing all our fears apart, [C]we’re painting our own prism.
[G]Fighting against the odds, [D]carving out our own path,
[Em]Breaking all the molds, [C]we are the aftermath.
(Chorus)
[G]Oh, we’re just chasing stars, [D]trying to find who we are,
[Em]in the midst of the chaos, [C]we find our Excellent Desire.
[G]Living on a hope, [D]we’re more than just dreamers,
[Em]And in the darkness, we cope, [C]we’re the star chasers, believers.
(Bridge)
[G]And even when the night falls, [D]and shadows close in,
[Em]We’ll keep chasing stars, [C]with hearts ablaze, we’ll win.
(Chorus)
[G]Oh, we’re just chasing stars, [D]trying to find who we are,
[Em]in the midst of the chaos, [C]we find our Excellent Desire.
[G]Living on a hope, [D]we’re more than just dreamers,
[Em]And in the darkness, we cope, [C]we are the star chasers, believers.
