For Dan and Jill, the hunt led them to one another. The duo turned 4 piece band are forging an exciting, dreamy electro-pop sound that is attracting listeners on both coasts. Less than 48 hours after releasing their debut single "Lost" it was played on University Of Pennsylvania's WXPN. Since then, the track has received blog acceptance by Pigeons and Planes, Indie Shuffle, The Burning Ear and Neon Gold. They are embarking on their first tour this spring supporting Capital Cities and are releasing their debut EP in early April.

PEOPLE ALSO SEARCH FOR
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
If you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name
Mmm, mmm, mmm
I won't tell 'em your name, ow
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
The lyrics to Scavenger Hunt's song "Name" tell a story of loss, disillusionment, and the difficulties of growing up. The singer reflects on how our dreams can be lost or forgotten over time, and how we can become "grown up orphans" who are disconnected from our true identities. The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "And I won't tell them your name," which seems to signify a desire for privacy or secrecy, perhaps reflecting the idea that our true selves can be lost or hidden over time.
The lyrics also touch on themes of regret and nostalgia, as the singer wonders if life might have been different if certain paths had been chosen, and reflects on the sadness of realizing that our lives are more than just the sum of our accomplishments. The idea of scars being "souvenirs you never lose" adds a layer of complexity to the song, suggesting that our past experiences, even painful ones, can become a part of our identities and stay with us indefinitely.
Overall, "Name" is a poignant and introspective song that encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences of growing up and becoming adults, and the ways in which our identities can be shaped and transformed over time.
Line by Line Meaning
And even though the moment passed me by
Although I missed my chance, I can't ignore the situation
I still can't turn away
I can't help but continue to think about what could have been
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
We often lose sight of our dreams and aspirations
Got tossed along the way
These dreams were abandoned or forgotten during the journey of life
And letters that you never meant to send
Unwritten words and unspoken thoughts that were never shared
Get lost or thrown away
These thoughts and words are often misplaced or discarded
And now we're grown up orphans
As adults, we sometimes feel lost and abandoned
That never knew their names
We may not always have a clear sense of identity or purpose
We don't belong to no one
We often feel like we don't fit in or belong anywhere
That's a shame
This lack of belonging is unfortunate
If you could hide beside me
If we could be together and support each other
Maybe for a while
Even if it's just temporary
And I won't tell no one your name
I promise to keep your identity and secrets safe
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
Painful experiences often stay with us and shape us
The past is never far
Our past experiences continue to impact us in the present
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Have you ever felt like you've lost your way?
Did you get to be a star
Did you achieve the success you had hoped for?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Isn't it depressing to realize that life is more than just accomplishments?
Is more than who we are
There's more to life than just achieving greatness
We grew up way too fast
Life moves quickly and we often feel like we didn't have enough time to enjoy our childhood
And now there's nothing to believe
As adults, we often struggle to find meaning or purpose in our lives
And reruns all become our history
Our memories become distorted and blurred over time
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
Life can often feel monotonous and uninspiring
I won't tell 'em your name
I'm here for you and won't betray your trust
Mmm, mmm, mmm
A musical interlude
I think about you all the time
You're always on my mind
But I don't need the same
I don't expect you to feel the same way about me
It's lonely where you are, come back down
I sense that you're feeling alone and I want to help you
And I won't tell 'em your name
I'll keep your secrets and protect your identity
