British indie pop duo Wings of Desire (the project of INHEAVEN’s James Taylor and Chloe Little) have released their new single “Runnin’“, alongside an accompanying music video.
The song follows last year’s track “Choose a Life,” and is taken from their upcoming double single “001 / Runnin’“, set to arrive on February 8. Pre-order it here.
The duo explain: “Running endlessly in circles under the tight grip of a culture designed to distract us from ourselves. Do we still believe that the internet knows what’s best for us Maybe it’s time to get off the wheel and see what’s outside.”
Watch/listen below.
Drawing inspiration from psychological revolution, visual arts, and 20th century counterculture, the result is a Factory-era creative outlet for a disenfranchised generation. Wings of Desire is simply a mirror to the planetary shift we are all experiencing, to permeate the zeitgeist and remind us all that there is more to living than what we consider tangible.
Wings of Desire “Runnin'” Lyrics:
You know I’ll do whatever it takes
No more jobs and cigarette breaks
The ex-lovers and things you hate
Racing to an early grave
Runnin Runnin Runnin Runnin (x4)
How can life do you harm?
Rope round your neck has its charm
Place your bets, collect your cards
But they won’t cure your empty heart
Runnin Runnin Runnin Runnin (x4)
The misfires and their mistakes
Go towards the debt you pay
A world that serves the richer man
Oh come on baby give me a hand
Runnin Runnin Runnin Runnin (x4)
