about

James Nagel’s newest single, Underneath the Shadows, was originally written as a title theme for a show that never came to air. After pouring so much of his time, effort and money into producing the track James decided it still needed to be shared with the world, releasing it independently for his fans. The song explores dealing with one’s own demons and encompasses an infectious groove paired with gritty, dark undertones.

Underneath the Shadows
© 2017 Nagel

Intro
Come put your hands on me
I know you want to go
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down

Verse 1
Never had trouble on the street
Never had problems in the home
Always seemed to have enough to eat
So I’m not sure where this hunger comes from

Pre 1
I used to stand on Sunday morning, hear the choir sing
Prayed to the Good Lord to keep from stumbling
But every good fruit fades, every well runs dry
Seems all that’s left is just this wild deep inside

Chorus 1
Come put your hands on me
I know you want to go
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Underneath the shadows
Can’t you see?
This storm is ready to roll
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Underneath the shadows

Verse 2
When did my light fall away?
Where did my love run and hide?
Maybe I’m destined just to lose our way
Maybe I’m made to come alive

Pre 2
I used to stand on Sunday morning, hear the choir sing
Prayed to the Good Lord to keep from stumbling
But like a hurricane rips it’s path right through
I’m spinning out and there’s no telling what I’ll do


Chorus 2
Come put your hands on me
I know you want to go
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Underneath the shadows
Can’t you see?
This storm is ready to roll
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Underneath the shadows

Bridge Section
Whoa-o-o-o-oh
Whoa-o-o-o-oh
Whoa-o-o-o-o-oh (2x)

Breakdown Chorus
Come put your hands on me
I know you want to go
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Oh can’t you see?
This storm is ready to roll
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down

Final Chorus
Come put your hands on me
I know you want to go
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
Underneath the shadows
Can’t you see?
This storm is ready to roll
I’ll send your soul
I’ll send your soul way down
