about

The title of this track was inspired by a chance meeting we had with a Russian gentleman outside of a liquor store while he was playing guitar for change. We put some money in his guitar case and he said he was going to play a song "for men". He proceeded to sing a beautiful song in Russian with sadness in his voice and, by the end, tears in his eyes. We were blown away by the his passion and how freely this man had bared his soul to us and asked what the song was about.

His reply: "In life there are hard times. But this place is not flat, this place is mountains. So don't talk, just climb."

This phrase stuck with us and went perfectly with the theme of "Running Strong".

lyrics

/As the miles add up I still think of how I should never think of you/But I do/Now there's nothing but the future ahead of me/It could have been yours/But oh well/I don't need love/I don't need anything/Why would I want another excuse just run away?/I don't need you or anything you offer me/You're just another part of my fantasy/The aches and pains of every day seem to be eating me away/Now the holes in my brain show where something golden used to be/(Take it all away; Empty out my lungs)/And no matter how hard I grasp there is no breath I can catch/I scream until my lungs are as empty as the day we did part like a sea/You from me/And in that water we found we were nothing more than Shells of what we used to be/I'm a man made of kisses/Holy and Unholy/But nothing gets through me/I just let it sink deep/Deep where you used to be/
