Backstory:
Indolent Seat, a garage band-turned-indie sensation, was born out of a sleepy college town in the heartland of America. The members, lead singer and guitarist Rory, bassist Jake, drummer Leo, and keyboardist Meg, met in their freshman year of college, all studying different majors but with a shared passion for music. Their jam sessions in Rory’s cramped dorm room soon turned into local gigs and then onto high-profile music festivals. The band’s name is a nod to their humble beginnings, a reference to the old, worn-out couch in Rory’s dorm room, where they spent many an hour lazily writing songs and dreaming of stardom.
Indolent Seat’s music is known for its laid-back, dreamy vibes, blending the nostalgia of the classic rock they grew up on with the raw intimacy of indie. Their songs often explore themes of youth, love, and the struggles of growing up, resonating with their generation’s hopes, fears, and dreams, and earning them a dedicated fan base across the globe.

Title: Chasing Shadows
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Waking up, [D] sun’s low in the sky,
[Emin] Chasing shadows, [C] we got lost in time,
[G] Running wild, [D] in the heart of the city,
[Emin] Remember how it felt to be [C] young and free.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] under neon lights,
[Emin] We were young, [C] we were wild,
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] in the dead of the night,
[Emin] Living on love, [C] living on borrowed time.
(Verse 2)
[G] Late-night talks, [D] on the indolent seat,
[Emin] Whispered dreams, [C] that tasted so sweet,
[G] Hearts on fire, [D] in the glow of the moon,
[Emin] Memories that faded [C] way too soon.
(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] under starry skies,
[Emin] We were reckless, [C] we were out of line,
[G] Chasing shadows, [D] with the rising tide,
[Emin] Living on love, [C] living on borrowed time.
