Story Behind The Song
The song "Chasing Shadows" was written and first released as a single in 2015. Although i loved the track, i was never entirely happy with the mix and my production skills were rather basic at the time. The following year after submitting it to many directors and music supervisors, Rob Hawk heard it and it was featured in his 2016 film "Fight Valley". With each country the film was separately released in, I would see a steady rise in the song plays from there. People were searching it out and this gave me the kick to re-record and breathe a lot more life into it. I was very happy with the results and was finally able to release an EP in its name. "Last Man On Earth" and "Jarnana" were always planned for the EP, while "Stronger" was an older track I wanted to include to add a little more dance-rock feel to contrast the heaviness of the others. And like the title track, it was re-recorded and re-produced to bring it right out of its shell.
Song Description
Chasing Shadows is a dramatic alt-metal track with soaring female vocals, shouted backing vox and an energising EDM-styled breakbeat mid-section. The lyrics are toying with your captor during a deadly pursuit. The song features in the film "Fight Valley" (2016) and plays uninterrupted for the first 2.5 minutes.

Lyrics
Breathe in, breathe out
Save yourself the time is now
Breathe in, breathe out
Cos your time is running out..
Cos your time is running out!
Chasing shadows in the night
Hunt me down I'll run and hide
It's a game we always play
I'm fighting for my life
Breathe in, breathe out
Save yourself the time is now
Breathe in, breathe out
Cos your time is running out..
Cos your time is running out!
Air is still.. my heart beats fast
There's a chill.. I can't react
It's the chase for the kill
My life's at stake.. this can't be real
Baby shoot that arrow
Right there..right there into my heart
Cos your love's like ammo
It gets in..it gets in and tears me apart
Chasing shadows in the night
Hunt me down I'll run and hide
It's a game we always play
I'm fighting for my life
Breathe in, breathe out
Save yourself the time is now
Breathe in, breathe out
Cos your time is running..
Cos your time is running..
Cos your time is running out!
