about

The new single „Runners” seems effortless, as if Rolf Laureijs hadn’t had to write it. As if he stumbled upon it on the sidewalk, where someone had laid it for anyone to take home. One musical hook follows another; unassuming, yet ever so sure of itself. Emotionally, the song explores grey areas. Melancholy and euphoria threaten to touch each other, dark and bright cease to be opposites. Everything is true, reality is made up of contradictions, words evaporate, a feeling remains.

lyrics

Boy, when I was running
I was touching light
Boy, when I was running high
I was touching light

I’m moving on
I’m moving up
I’m moving up, boy

I was born in a shadow
Burning bright
I was born in a shadow
Burning bright

I was born in a shadow
Burning bright
I was born in a shadow
Burning bright

I was burning
I was burning

Oh boy, when I was running
I was touching light
Oh boy, when I was running high
I was touching light

I was burning
To light our way, boy
I was burning
To light our way, boy

And maybe you’ll find love and trust
With the runners
Through the dust
And maybe you’ll find love and trust
With the runners
Through the dust

I was born in a shadow
Burning bright
I was born in a shadow
Burning bright

And maybe you’ll find love and trust
With the runners
Through the dust
And maybe you’ll find love and trust
With the runners
Through the dust

With the runners
Through the dust
