American Songwriter: Song Premiere: The Narrative, 'Chasing a Feeling'

The site/magazine American Songwriter reviewed and premiered The Narrative's new song "Chasing a Feeling". The band posted on Instagram some teasers for the song release and it's finally here. You can read the original post from American Songwritter here by Will Minter. Also in the post, the band shared a never seen photo from 2012's photoshoot with Vicky Dinka.

The Artist: The Narrative

The Song: “Chasing a Feeling”

Fun Fact: This Long Island duo met on Craigslist.

Songwriter Says: “‘Chasing a Feeling’ is about accepting that life keeps moving forward, whether or not you’re ready for it. Being indecisive doesn’t stop everything around you from changing, and getting swept up in a really difficult moment in your life can feel endless but eventually it passes. It’s about time, how you spend it, and how it eventually brings you clarity and comfort.

Jesse [Gabriel] and I have a really supportive and collaborative writing process. This song in particular started on piano with a melody and a lyric. From there, we put together a drum machine beat and started exploring the feel of the song. We knew for this song we wanted a certain kind of guitar riff, and this is one of the first times we really focused on that jointly. Once we get a song in a good place, we invite some talented friends of ours to come play drums and bass and build the song more off of that collective energy.”
