My new running song dedicated to my amazing runner brother Mathew.
 
Because it is a running song, I intentionally made time signature 5/4 so that if you run in time with it, you will be alternating which foot hits the downbeat, and if you breathe using traditionally running breath rhythms, the song will help you switch between starting your in-breath/out-breath on your left and your right foot. I also made the BPM suitable for a good easy running cadence.

Lyrics:
Run straight 
End hate
Run gay 
Every day
Run tall
Kick back
Run Laps 
Hand claps

Run because you can
Run because you’re strong
Running is a dance 
Running is a song…

Run pain
Run fun
Pain’s fun
When you run
No wheels
Glow feels
Even keels
Vegan meals

Run because you can
Run because you’re strong
Running is a dance
Running is a song…

Run to be more alive
Run to see the sun…

Run to be more alive
Run for the sun

Running Is A Song [1]

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.
