With a clear nod to British indie tradition, Mansfield’s single “Chasing after You” is an honest and novel interpretation of the Merseybeat sound. Instantly appealing with its playful yet catchy guitar riff and an anthemic chorus, the song is captivating from start to end. Mansfield’s recent performances at The Cavern Club, Liverpool have manifested their appeal on the international music scene leading up to the release of their EP “Come Rain or Shine” in early 2023.
lyrics
Chasing after You
Girl, I’ve got my eye on you
You’re the one I want
But people say it’s a waste of time
Cos you are second to none
I’m infatuated
What am I to do
When will I stop
Chasing after you
When you walk into the room
My heart will skip a beat
But when I look into your eyes
They bring me misery
I’m infatuated
What am I to do
When will I stop
Chasing after you
I’ve been thinking of you night and day
No-one else can make me feel this way
But my love is just a big mistake
And it only takes a kiss to bring me down
A pretty girl with a lovely smile
Can surely drive you mad
But in the end, you’ll realise
She’s gonna leave you flat
Days of joy and laughter
Seem so far away
Now I sit and
Long for yesterday
I’m infatuated
Feeling like a fool
Now I’m done with
Chasing after you
Now I’m done with
Chasing after you
