This clip, from my upcoming release, is my ode to running, which is a passion for me. For a long time I had tried to write a song that expressed my love of running in a more nuanced way, in the end I just had to sit down and be literal about it. 
This excerpt jumps straight into the bridge, which is just a list of some of the runners who have made running extraordinary. Here are the lyrics from this excerpt:
"Meb, Geb, Grete, Shalane, 
Paula, Deena, Prefontaine
Amby Burfoot, Zatopek  
Mootai, Bekelee, Bolt, Joorek
Dibaba, Bikila, Goucher, Krar
Bannister, Shorter, Salazar
El Guerrouj, Endereba, KiprotIch, Coe
Lagat, Lewis, Moses, Owens, Flo, Mo
run, run into the wild,
run run just like a child,
run run run run run run run 
run, run like I can fly,
run, run without a why,
run run run run run run run... "

Excerpt from Run - Mix2 - Sidewalk Dancer

Hey, I'm Eight Two (they/them)—a nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent genre fluid singer-songwriter and self-taught visual artist carving out my own space in the world of art rock. My journey began in the vibrant streets of Brooklyn in 2008, where I found solace and inspiration in the power of music.

As a multi-instrumentalist, my primary tools are the guitar and my voice, weaving together melodies that speak to the soul. From thought-provoking philosophical musings to uplifting motivational anthems, my songs are a reflection of my quest for creativity, connection, and meaning.

Despite navigating the world without social media or a phone, I'm here to share my sonic journey with you. Whether you're a fellow oddball, a seeker of truth, or simply someone looking for a bit of inspiration, there's a place for you in my musical universe.

So join me on this adventure as I craft my next album, fueled by authenticity, vulnerability, and a whole lot of heart. Together, let's explore the depths of our creativity, forge meaningful connections, and celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically ourselves.

I am a retired high school math teacher and I have been doing music ever since I was a kid. The majority of my tracks are all original, all rights reserved. If you like what you hear and you are a musician, I would love to collaborate!
