Backstory:
Intentional Division was born in the bustling music scene of Brooklyn, New York in 2013. Comprised of four childhood friends, Riley Mason (lead vocals and guitar), Jesse Harper (lead guitar), Marlon Chase (bass), and Terrence Howard (drums), the band initially came together to blow off steam and find solace from their humdrum desk jobs. As they started playing together in various local bars, their raw energy and emotive lyrics resonated with the audience, ultimately deciding to quit their 9 to 5 grind and pursue music full-time. Their journey has been marked by perseverance and a passion for creating music that’s as real and complex as life itself.

Genre:
Alternative Rock

Title:
“Chasing Shadows”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] Here I stand, [C] chasing shadows in the [D] dark,
[G] Searching for your [C] love, wandering in this [D] park.
[G] Promises you made, [C] written in the [D] sand,
[G] Washed away by [C] time, slipping through my [D] hands.

(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] blinded by the [D] dark,
[G] Our love was a [C] fire, now it’s just a [D] spark.
[G] Lost in the [C] echoes of our [D] laughter,
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] what I’m really [D] after.

(Verse 2)
[G] The city lights, [C] they flicker and they [D] fade,
[G] Reflecting off your [C] eyes, our promises [D] betrayed.
[G] Silent whispers, [C] echo in the [D] night,
[G] Can’t escape the [C] memory, of your fading [D] light.

(Chorus)
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] lost in the [D] night,
[G] Our love was a [C] blaze, now it’s out of [D] sight.
[G] Trapped by the [C] memories of our [D] past,
[G] Chasing shadows, [C] fading so [D] fast.

Favorite Fan’s Testimonial:
Hi, I’m Lisa, an avid follower of Intentional Division since their early days at local bars in Brooklyn. Their music has been my solace in the chaos of New York City. The rawness in their lyrics combined with the rhythmical alt-rock sound has an authenticity that’s hard to find these days. It’s evident that every word they sing, every note they play, comes straight from the heart. Their song “Chasing Shadows” is my personal favorite. The melancholic melody intertwined with the heartfelt lyrics perfectly encapsulates the bittersweet experience of love and loss, something I deeply relate to. Intentional Division is more than just a band to me; they’re the voice of our generation.
