Running Beside Myself

about

I wrote the first version of this song ‘Running Beside Myself’ about 12 years ago. It kept badgering me, waiting to be better. I ended up recording it over this summer at Roosa Records in Brentwood BC with my friend and producer Nick Gilchrist. I sent him an acoustic demo, then an electric demo to a drum machine, I was searching for a tempo and a feel.
I told him I wanted it to sound like Bruce Springsteen, The Killers and Def Leppard made a song and Taylor Swift produced it.
Maybe that’s not what it sounds like at all, I mean it probably sounds like me-but well produced for a change.
Our real goal was to create a song we were so happy with it would be an actual shame not to share it.
So here it is for you and hopefully many others to listen to and enjoy.

Many thanks to Andy Sloniowski for his amazing piano work and to Madi Olsen for stellar backing vocals. Special thanks to Lee Hyldig of Mae Lutherie for lending us some beautiful guitars to play on and of course we owe the world to producer Nick Gilchrist for his skills, guidance and wicked 5 string bass grooves.
Please press play, turn up the volume and maybe go for a drive in the rain.

Sincerely,

Bosma

lyrics

Running Beside Myself


Walking round the room again
Headphones on I got a song in my head
It takes a while to work it out
I might have to scream I might have to shout
There’s nothing left but the telephone
that could ruin this take
I got a moment alone

Nothing else gets me off like you do
Running beside myself trying to find what
to do to you
I know that the night is for lovers but here
I am all alone
Chasing the moon till sunrise
trying to find my soul
I can let you know

I’m mostly tired and kindly true
There’s nothing new about my attitude
I’m over now and then I’m not
I got what you need baby I got what you got

No one else turns me on like you do
I’m running beside myself trying to find what
to do to you
I know that the night is for lovers but here
I am all alone
Chasing the moon till sunrise
trying to find my soul
I can let you know
