RUN

The tune for “Run” was written by Shayne and he sent it to me at some point in (I think) 2020. Shayne was coming up with a lot of different tunes around that time, some of which I felt I could work on, some of which I didn’t. The tune for “Run” stuck with me though, and I spent a little while trying to fit a lyric to it, which is something I struggle with oftentimes. My memory of the “Run” lyrics, though, was that they fell out of me almost stream-of-consciousness, which is pretty unusual for me these days. The lyric itself started off telling the story of a 10k run I did around Dublin City centre a few years ago, when I was training for a half marathon. The early verses attempt to emulate the feeling of trying to get up a momentum, dodging around cars and crowds of people, attempting to find a long straight road to get a few miles in. After that, for whatever reason, I started to try and mix it with and idea of shape-shifting into a bird of prey and taking off at the end of the song. God knows where that came from. Must’ve been something in the water. - Hutch
