"Shadow" gives a nod to New Orleans jazz, featuring some of Chicago's best musicians, including Shane Jonas (Lowdown Brass Band) and John Deitmeyer (Matthew Santos). Eide's tongue-in-cheek lyrics and sparkling piano riffs make for a smart and catchy tune.

LYRICS
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
Following me everywhere, seeing every little thing I do
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
You keeping me on my toes, you making me follow through
Darling your inclined to be just one step behind me
Never minding my pleas to turn the other way
I don’t you to see the rougher parts of me
I don’t want to have to worry about what’s on display
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
Following me everywhere, seeing every little thing I do
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
You keeping me on my toes, you making me follow through
My tiny silhouette, you won’t let me forget
the ways I affect you, you mimic my flaws
Seeing the things about myself I detest
is getting hard to digest
and got me feeling depressed
Cause, I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
You’re following me everywhere, seeing every little thing I do
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
Keeping me on my toes, you making me follow through
Hey!
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
You’re following me everywhere, seeing every little thing I do
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
You’re keeping me on my toes, making me follow through
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
Following me everywhere, seeing every little thing I do
I can’t shake you my shadow, no I can’t shake you
Keeping me on my toes, you’re making me follow through
Following me everywherem, seeing every little thing I do
Keeping me on my toes, you’re making me follow through
