Backstory:
Tasty Tail is a band that transcends the usual definition of a musical ensemble. Born from the ashes of a college jam group in the late 90s, the Tasty Tail is a unique blend of friends who revel in creating musical magic. The band came together in a small apartment in Nashville, where Mitch (the drummer) and Sam (the guitarist) found themselves jamming together into the wee hours of the night. They soon brought in Olivia, a classically trained pianist, and Tony, a soulful singer, into the fold. Their shared love for music, coupled with their differing musical backgrounds, gave birth to an unmatched melodious amalgamation, and thus, Tasty Tail was born.
The band’s journey through the landscapes of the music industry has been filled with ups and downs. After years of playing in small bars and local festivals, they released their first album in 2005. The album was a surprise hit and catapulted them into the limelight. Since then, Tasty Tail has continued to delight fans with their relatable lyrics and catchy tunes.

“Chasing Shadows”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
[G] I’ve been chasing shadows, [D] lost in the night [Em]
[G] Running from the demons, [D] hiding from the light [Em]
[G] Lost in the confusion, [D] drowning in my plight [Em]
[G] Yet, I keep on chasing, [D] chasing shadows in the night [Em]
(Chorus)
[C] Shadows in the night, [G] echoes of my soul [D]
[C] Whispers of my fears, [G] of a story yet untold [D]
[C] Amid the falling stars, [G] beneath the moon’s soft light [D]
[C] I find myself chasing, [G] chasing shadows in the night [D]
(Verse)
[G] In the echoes of the silence, [D] in the corners of my mind [Em]
[G] I look for answers, [D] that I never seem to find [Em]
[G] Yet, in the darkness, [D] I find an odd delight [Em]
[G] As I keep on chasing, [D] chasing shadows in the night [Em]
(Chorus)
[C] Shadows in the night, [G] echoes of my soul [D]
[C] Whispers of my fears, [G] of a story yet untold [D]
[C] Amid the falling stars, [G] beneath the moon’s soft light [D]
[C] I find myself chasing, [G] chasing shadows in the night [D]
(Outro)
[G] So, here I am, [D] chasing shadows in the night [Em]
[G] Caught in the echoes, [D] of a love that took flight [Em]
[G] But in the darkness, [D] I see a glimmering light [Em]
[G] And I know I’ll keep on chasing, [D] chasing shadows in the night [Em]
