about
A song written during a dark period where I did a lot of soul-searching, it's about trying to make the most of however bad a situation may seem. For some it's difficult, due to the cards that have been dealt and the reality may seem like a dead end. But it's a song about hope and not giving up, about trying to get rid of the negativity and dark thoughts surrounding certain situations.
Musically It was one of the first songs I wrote after the Sentimental Dust sessions, and whilst it was originally a slower, softer acoustic basedtrack, the recording was a different beast altogether. A huge bass and drum sound, a heavy riff coinciding with rhyhm guitar work featuring plenty of digital delay and an almost futuristic sounding guitar melody, influenced by synth/electronic rock acts like Depeche Mode and Paradise Lost (during the Host period in the late 90's.)
For me it was an obvious single choice, showing signs of what's to come in the future, lyrically and musically. "We all dream...we're bought and sold..." but the dream is still alive! Thank you for reading.
lyrics
Do you love what you are doing?
Do you loathe the things you see?
Watching back it makes me certain
That we need this chemistry
I’m finding it difficult to hold
I just want to be together
We all dream, we’re bought and sold
I’m running around the sun
To be free, and in control
I’m running around the sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun
Do you practice what you are preaching?
Do you feel the end is near?
When we fail we reach for answers
Standing still we face our fears
I’m finding it difficult to hold
I just want to be together
We all dream, we’re bought and sold
I’m running around the sun
To be free, and in control
I’m running around the sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun
That journey, the cold cold journey
Where we sustain our thoughts and freeze our minds
We should let loose in the warmth of the womb
Take a left to finish in the hearts that glow
Instead we enjoy the right hand side
That figures out the cost of what's inside
Left, Right, Left, Right
Left, Right, Left, Right
Right
I’m finding it difficult to cure
I just want to be together
We all dream, we’re bought and sold
I’m running around the sun
To be free, and in control
I’m running around the sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
Around The Sun
I'm Running Around The Sun

Just like on Foo Fighters' debut album there is only 1 mastermind behind The Elegant Chasers, Maz Loizou. Having been made
redundant Maz retrained as a fire alarm engineer in '20. Feeling cheated & exhausted he'd write songs around a derelict London. First 4 singles received over 10000 streams on Spotify. Debut Album Sentimental Dust released 8/7/22. But The Chasers are back with a bang in 2024!...more
