Running

About Running

Running is a single by the band InSoc (Information Society) originally released on the Creatures of Influence album in 1985. The single for Running was distributed to club DJs, and became a favorite all over clubs, particularly in the Latin clubs of New York City. The single was later remixed by Tommy Boy Records and the remix single was released and became even more of a club hit, eventually reaching #2 on the Dance/Club Airplay charts and becoming an enduring classic of the Freestyle genre. Tommy Boy Records signed Information Society in 1986 and their self-titled album soon followed, featuring a mix of the single. In 1988 Information Society's self-titled album was released and went platinum. Unlike other singles in the catalogue, "Running" does not feature Kurt Harland on lead vocals, as the song was written and recorded by short-lived band member Murat Konar, who left the band in 1985 and would later be an integral part of the development of both SoundEdit (a Mac hosted sound editing application) and Adobe Flash applications. For a very long period of time, the band would not perform "Running" live, requesting not to be asked to play it and generally refusing all questions pertaining to their dislike of the song. It is generally believed this is due to the song being very difficult to play live, and because the song was written at a particularly fractious period in the band's life. more »

Hot steamy night alone
I wait for you
Cold brittle morning alone
And I cry for you
And when you finally call
You cloak your moves in the shadows

Chorus:
Those days and nights I was good to you
They must not have meant very much to you
The night I needed you the most
My cries fell on deaf ears

And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you know to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I'll never leave you now

Chorus

Now I don't want to play games with you
But I don't know what to say to you
The digits change so slowly now
I'm going it alone

And I'm running so hard to find it
And I'm running so fast
And I'm telling you now to leave me
Our romance cannot last
And if someday I need to see you
I'll come back from the past
I'll come back and find you
I'll never leave you now
