A common theme with the b-sides for Dusk seems to be that they were started around the time we were completing Empires (well, I suppose we had nothing better to do). Running with the Wind is yet another of these. It's a pretty simple song about throwing everything away and biting the bullet, but I got stuck half way through, with one verse and half a chorus. I handed it over to Simon, and he did all the hard work on this one.
Musically, it owes a lot to the Dutch duo Sylver, and they should think themselves pretty lucky given the number of song titles they've stolen from us in the past* - In Your Eyes; Summer Solstice; Turn the Tide... (actually we may have borrowed that last one off them). Because of this, it rumbles along at over 130bpm along with slightly clichéd fills, bass and filters.
And so that was Running with the Wind. More tomorrow.
* This does not constitute an accusation of theft.
