Cosmo Sheldrake - Run

Listen to the new album Eye To The Ear here:
found.ee/eyetotheear
I first wrote this while composing music for a Cirque de Soleil show just before the pandemic. The lockdowns brought a swift end to the project and Cirque de Soleil went temporarily bankrupt so I decided to rework it into its current form. It is a song about trying to figure out when best to run away from something and when to come back to it. I often find myself running away from unfinished music or unfinished projects, sometimes taking a break from them is very thing that was needed and can give rise to a burst of inspiration. But sometimes the impulse to run is the last thing I need to do. There is no easy answer to when to do which.
Lyrics:
I’ll run away
I ran away
I’ll run away again
And then
I’ll come back home
I tried to stay
I tried to say
I’ll try again and then I’ll be alone
I tried again
To make amends
To clear the way
To blink and say the words again
I’m over the walls
Out the door
On my way
Because the wind won’t wait for me
My music, shows/tour dates, merch, socials and more can be found here

Marching into the forest for the Teddy Bear's picnic.

[@thebonjourbear6030]

Run? Yeah you bet your sweet bippy I'm running towards wherever I hear this coming from 🗣🔈🔈

[@synsyin4725]

You almost composed for Cirque De Soleil!?!? That literally would’ve been the best performance ever that’s awesome

[@bfahamas]

I go about my day, but in my heart I'm always waiting, always looking over my shoulder. A faint sound of cymbals and birdsong swells in the distance. It's coming for me. One day it's coming, and I'm going to be so ready to be swept away. Cosmo's jolly stampede of frolicking creatures, tardigrades, pelicans, warblers, shrimps and monkeys is coming to town. I have my running shoes on and a baggy of raisins ready, so I can share with all my new friends. Where are we running? Away, apparently.

[@wolfgang4697]

You would like the stardust graphic novel and or Thle Sandman ccomics. Both are very whimsical

[@LucasGleason]

Ew raisins

[@tubbyqueen]

I’m one of the frolicking creatures

[@CherryZomb13]

The Lady Amalthea awaits you. Tell her I said hello

[@optima1774]

This song genuinely made me acknowledge the depressive slump I fell into and go talk to my friends, I really owe it a lot and it’s only been out less than a day

[@TheRyleo]

Ahh I wish we could've seen that Cirque show come to fruition, your composition style would be a fantastic fit! Loving all of the new songs so far.

[@mookieluvr]

Fr I happen to live in Vegas and a Cirque show with music by Cosmo might be the only reason I would have to see another Cirque show.

[@shugarshack8536]

Very ominous title '°-°

[@mothbrainedindividual]

You better watch out

[@bread_box_6284]

Cosmo is rapidly approaching your location

[@dacheesesdoggo]

@@bread_box_6284 The only thing about that that’s scary to me is not getting tea done it time! I didn’t expect guests!

[@tubbyqueen]

@@bread_box_6284 good

[@cabtaxi1146]

I have always adored how you end your songs like Run Rings Right Wrongs having a little like squelch at the end, and the BIG brass honk at the end of this song is amazing!

[@thecattking]

Im running, frolicking, skipping all of the above to this one

[@thewanderingkokioflower7783]

Its giving "Now that we're men" and I mean that in the best way possible

[@SilentBeaver]

SKIDADDLE!

[@T3CHN0L0G1C4L]

I’ve been a bit occupied with things so I’m finally listening to all the new songs that were released the other day and THIS.. this one has immediately became one of my favorites

[@TheWilderCat]

Never will forget the point in the live album watch party when Cosmo Sheldrake just said "Run" in chat, frightening everyone.

[@tubbyqueen]

everybody gangsta until Cosmo tells us to run

[@JodediahHolems]

Oh, We're Getting Silly And Goofy With This One

[@Baked_bean571]

The best song for walking

[@ayelaruiz2959]

Yo this really reminds me of John Mackey pieces! Like asphalt cocktail maybe (though I may be mixing it up with another)

[@BunnyTheCat]

[@rowans556]

Do u think you and Johnny Flynn will ever work together again? I heard you were going to before the pandemic.. but maybe im wrong

[@coolmusicandthings]

Johnny came to Cosmo's album launch last week and me and Cosmo's manager may have asked him about them doing something together... never say never!!

[@savannahsmith4739]

Believe or not this would have made a great track to go behind Tommy Shelby walking down Garrison rd.

[@LostCommsEntertainment]

This sounds like a continuation of hocking where whatever has been singing in the forest has come too close.

[@cringedetector5560]

What are you running from? 🤔

[@staticstars6721]

The fact i know as soon as tiktok gets ahold of this its gonna be a trend.

[@MyselfCollective]
