Story Behind The Song
You decide to escape from the dulldrum of life, pack a bag and hitchhike across the country. You're running from a lie, from wasted time, difficult dreams, old lovers, and the open road awaits.
Song Description
Chasing Moonlight -- a melding of Popdust favorite Zeke Hunter and Kalimur's Brett Steinberg -- are "optimistic fuzz," as they tell it. Mashing up anthemic, foot-stomping alt-pop, sparking electronics and a heavy rock shockwave, the duo hit on all cylinders with their debut single together, the rowdy and propulsive Wake Up!. Flaked with infectious hand-claps, a ghostly chant and alarming percussion, the track glimmers, too, with a hip-hop rumble and dubstep tilt. The song -- premiering exclusively today -- is a kaleidoscopic journey, packed into a little over three minutes. You don't know it yet, but you just stumbled onto one of the year's best pop tunes. -POPDUST

Lyrics
Wake up (Wake up!)
On the side of the road
Your bag is your home
Your bag is your home
Freedom (Freedom!)
Beckons you on
Beckons you on
You've got a tired soul
Thoughts in your head
Girls in your bed
Common regrets
You know it
Wishing you'd spent
The time you've been lent
To be confident
And beat the odds
Static that breaks
The haze that you hate
When you nothing relates
I know (I know it)
Anticipate
The fate you create
Built from mistakes
You know it (You know it!)
You want to lie
Give up and lie
The truth isn't something you can hide
No alibi for wasted time
A shattered compass in my mind
You want to lie
Give up and lie
My soul unbound to what's outside
No alibi for wasted time
A sinking ship won't take the tide
Hung up on a lover or two
Who didn't feel the burn
Destroyed on what you've lost
Turn blind eyes
To gold you hold everything
But it slips right through
Only in your depths you see truth
Thoughts in your head
Girls in your bed
Common regrets
You know it
Wishing you'd spent
The time you've been lent
To be confident
And beat the odds
Static that breaks
The haze that you hate
When you nothing relates
I know (I know it)
Anticipate
The fate you create
Built from mistakes
You know it (You know it!)
You want to lie
Give up and lie
The truth isn't something you can hide
No alibi for wasted time
A shattered compass in my mind
You want to lie
Give up and lie
My soul unbound to what's outside
No alibi for wasted time
A sinking ship won't take the tide
You want to lie
Give up and lie
The truth isn't something you can hide
No alibi for wasted time
A shattered compass in my mind
You want to lie
Give up and lie
My soul unbound to what's outside
No alibi for wasted time
A sinking ship won't take the tide
