Lyrics:
V1.
Keep your secrets from me boy
When you're running, running
Keep a little lie
When you're running, running
Could it be any harder?
When you're running, running
Can’t keep yourself satisfied
When you're running, running
Chorus.
Show me the way you're moving
Won’t you show me the way you're moving
Boy and we look and we find it
Boy and we look and we find it
V2.
Show some weakness for me boy
When you're running, running
Figure out the words
When you're running, running
Could you be any colder?
When you're running, running
Taking another side
Chorus.
Show me the way you're moving
Won’t you show me the way you're moving
Boy and we look and we find it
Boy and we look and we find it
Bridge.
Show a little weakness boy
Growing colder
Show a little weakness boy
Show a little weakness boy
Growing colder
Show a little weakness boy
Chorus.
Show me the way you're moving
Show me the way you're moving
Show me the way you're moving
Won’t you show me the way you're moving
Boy and we look and we find it
Boy and we look and we find it Видеоклипы

Just came from Sean Lews movie, the choreo to this song was so beautiful
yaaaaaaaaa of course
Another one lol... :)
Me too😭
Whats the name the film please??
@@tami2175 sorry, it’s called Two, just look up Sean lews RUclips channel and you’ll find it
Anyone else here from Sean Lew's Film "Two: An Unspoken Narrative." His choreography with this song was just absolutely stunning. Thank you Sean for leading me to find yet another beautiful song ❤️
his short film was insane. will always thank him for inspiring millions
Yes! Incredible song. This scene was one of my favourites. Sean's film is a masterpiece, so grateful to have witnessed it ❤️
I’m here from two also !!!
Yuh❤️🔥🥺🥰💞😍
Yesss the film is completely underrated
Random click, totally pleased with my choice😍
The same one year after the story is repetitive ♡

The best thing I did today was click on this video.
❤️

Who's here after Sean Lew's Short film? ^^ Awesome song. Food for the soul.
Meh
I seriously am in love with this song. Thanks to Sean Lew's movie
Yes same :)
Same :>
I have been in a 'music crisis' for months.. until now that I found this true piece of art.
Same!! This is amazing. Sometimes we find music, sometimes the music finds us.
I thought I was the only one who had such a crisis 😍 I’ll go weeks not knowing what music I want... then I come across something like this ❤️
Same here, been on repeat for a week now. No secrets here, theres alot going further. Makes me do real thinking.
Plus its a great groove to make love to
So easilly done in this era....
I call it a "music desert" or "sonic desert" where you're starved of new, exhilarating musical experiences
Hope this earth doesn't have another war ,bless everyone in life.
Here after Sean Lew new's film 🙏🏻❤️
A Moment Of Silence For People Who Can't Find This Song
As a man, when she says “show some weakness for me, boy” I feel that shit… To all women, on behalf of all men.. I’m sorry we don’t like being vulnerable. Society has taught us not to be.
I feel this so hard
I'm thinking that the key is knowing when to be what. That's all I got.
I love and respect your comment xx
🖤 beautiful
Quite sure she says "show some thickness for me, boy". But perhaps we all hear the words we need to hear
Keep your secrets from me boy
Running, running
Keep a little lie
Running, running
Could it be any harder, no
Running, running
Can't keep yourself satisfied
Running, running
Come forward
Yo I said come forward
Come forward
What are you afraid of
Show me the way you move in
Won't you show me the way you move in
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Show some thickness for me boy
Running, running
Figure out the word
Running, running
Could you be any colder
Running, running
Take in another inside
Running, running
Come forward
Yo I said come forward
Come forward
What are you afraid of
Show me the way you move in
Won't you show me the way you move in
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Running, running
Colder ooh
What are you afraid of
Colder ooh
Show me the way you move in
Show me the way you move in
Show me the way you move in
Won't you show me the way you move me
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Boy if we like it, we'll find it
Running, running
Tyvm
Found this accidentally, lost it, then found it again. I have Running saved. Been listening on repeat for days now ❤️
Glad it came back to ya! Sending you love ❤
Same 😂😂... I was like who is Abi Ocia and immediately the song started I said Wtf this is my favorite song. How could have forgotten
Wow beautiful song! Sean Lew and Kaycee mastered it.
The dance is STUNNING!
‘Running’ went through many versions of its self before becoming what it is now. The song was actually written last year in a two-day studio slog with a producer called Draper. I had worked with him for a few years and always looked forward to writing together - but ‘Running’ was definitely a challenge. We started the session with Draper playing different chords on the piano and myself finding melodies to follow. We established a chord progression for the verses fairly quickly, and started to craft an atmosphere in the production to carry a sparser vocal top line.
I managed to write a rough verse and chorus before we decided to call it a day. Draper had a friend round that evening, so we all crashed at his place and watched a film called Requiem For A Dream. I remember lying in bed that night thinking of the film and listening to a voice note of the track, feeling that something wasn’t quite right. The next day I started writing from scratch and the opening line - ‘Keep your secrets from me’ - was born. From that point onwards the rest came naturally. Draper definitely helped to keep what I was writing as varied and interesting as possible. Going home that night I was exhausted but pleased to have such a beautiful demo with Draper’s slick production.
When I revisited the song, it felt as if more could be drawn out from it to help underline the content of the lyrics. I wanted to explore an inner dialogue - for the song to question and challenge what we fear in life. Too easily we are swept away by circumstances and distracted by things that don’t help us grow. We limit ourselves to our realities, which can make life feel like a slow and repetitive routine. Ultimately, I wanted listeners to not be afraid to look inward and begin to cut away the decay that can consume us. ‘Show me the way you are moving’ so that we can ‘look’ and ‘find’ a greater peace in life. Rather than ‘running’ from things, run to them with a confidence that they can be overcome.
I had been working with a producer called Mkulu for a year and a half; and I knew he could bring this narrative to life. He continues to help hone my sound, and the progression of ‘Running’ into what it is today mirrors that development. We spoke at length about what I was trying to convey, sharing historical and visual references that emphasised the songs meaning. We filled the track with old Underground Railroad sounds, replacing the existing percussion and adding new chords to parts of the track. The changes assisted in the sense of monotony that the ‘oohs’ and the chant - ‘when you’re running, running’ - carried. The new sounds represented the routines of life; and the spoken vocal acted as a facilitator in trying to break that emotional cycle. The person you actually hear speaking and asking the key question - ‘what are you afraid of?’ - is Mkulu’s voice. His co-production gave the song its legs and strengthened its message. I am blessed to have worked with two such talented individuals on this debut.

💯% Colors RUclips channel 🎶 Make it happen 🍻
Marques Hill 😍😊
speak man speak
true, a session of colors would be dope.
Heres your "HERE FROM SEAN LEWS SHORTFILM"
If people had their own theme songs, i would choose this as mine.
The absolute best ❤️
I found this song yesterday. I'll hold on to it forever.
These small moments is what’s life all about, when you unexpectedly come across magic like this ....
This song is at 180 bpm, which is the ideal cadence (footstrike frequency) for... running.
It’s actually 90. You just doubled it but I know what you mean.
Lol it's not 180 BPM.
Drum and Bass is, and this is much slower.
No it really is at 180... You just have to count in 6... Wouldn't use it for running, though... 😅
I have to ask.... What made you find that out? I'm super intrigued by your comment.
Always drawn back into a sense of calm whenever I come back to listen to this song🍃🍃
The first time I heard this song I was at the lowest point in my life and now it's a reminder of how far I have managed to keep "running" forward. My girlfriend also told me about this song since I like running :) ...I can't stop smiling when I hear this masterpiece. I love it.
Your story is beautiful, thank you for sharing it! Always gotta keep on going! Big love to ya! ❤️
@@abiocia thank you for making beautiful music ❤️
RUclips algorithm did me good for once :D soo good
i fell in love with you the first time i heard this song... and now, even more

I wish I could connect with someone's daughter with such soulful music whereby u could just sit there together,silently looking at each and let ur souls connect 🇰🇪❤
After an amazing candle lit dinner, now you're just sipping some wine, gazing into each other's eyes and soul

This is amazing and was so beautiful to read. Thank you Katie!
@@abiocia I want you to know how relief I felt after listening to your song it has been rough these past few days.i am forever grateful for this moment:)
Who's jamming this in 2020.
Just went through the comments for this amzing song and not only am I in love with the positivity, but in love with the fact that Abi Ocia responds to so many. Those are the kind of artists that uplift people.
Reading this bought a smile to my face. Thank you so much, the love I get from you guys is simply beautiful - can't help but let you know! ❤️
this song reminded me of the longing I had for my lover to love me the way I loved him... he passed away
Wow, sending you so much light. Your story is so powerful Shandi
thank you for reaching out to me You are an amazing artist .He died in April we knew eachother 10 years he had me on lock so confused sad and mad lonely ...waiting .....waiting
and what i really learned was my own self love would hold me down when i wanted to burn the bed or anytime he was with her and I felt so broken and revengeful or hopeless I made my soul heal through dancing or crying we ended our relations in terms of romance but stayed living together for all those years and it gave me inner strength to be confident and fight injustices and not settle for a man not into me for keeps any part time lover ,..kindness ...
human nature is complex but
I still miss his quirky ways and his smell ...thanks fo the love and the heartfelt words
D v was a ,part of the trouble we shared a real childhood pain of violence replaying through us damn it is hard being a lady and taking care of yourself asking just for a friend who is a lover also
come up short but end in our self sacrifices and redemption in helping othars break the cycle and i feel alive and grareful
this song is beautiful, her voice is so clear and its so relaxing😍😍
This song cuts deep in my soul and stays there,,,....
This song is my current favourite and probably my personal theme track.. I'm suffering from the pain of being ghosted by someone who I thought was special. It's killing me inside. And this song.. every single beat and word touches my heart and makes me cry even more. Listening to this song is like an acheing relief. Can't find words to describe the meaning of your song for me. You're beautiful Abi Ocia. THANK YOU!
❤
Hope your feeling some what better now...take care of yourself and be easy with your heart ❤️
You are worthy and deserving of so much more. It is a tough lesson to learn, but I promise you - it's worth it. Sending you so much love, and thank you for sharing this with me. Big hugs angel ❤
I've been listening to your song everyday since I saw Sean's film. It sounds amazing every time.
Sameee
Transcendental. Echoing through clouded mysteries of the soul.
This is pure bliss. Thank you for your beautiful music!
I have no feeling to describe this song. Just deep and amazing
I was literally searching for new music and damn, this song is therapeutic. I'm definitely putting Abi Ocia on my favorite artists list.
Can't believe I haven't found this masterpiece until now I feel ashamed 😔 but now that I have found it, 100% been on repeat 4days Inna row. It's something bout the melody when it first starts that just hooks it for me it's so graceful 🥰🥰
Never ever too late, welcome and lots of love! 😉❤
This womans voice is fire 🔥🔥 love this song 🎶
Amazing!!! Visuals 10/10 - Track 10/10
One of the best songs and dance song EVER! Couldn't stop moving and dancing with it. Masterpiece!
It's so amazing how many more people are like me in such a crisis at finding music that truly feels like this art!!!! This touches my soul!!
This song is so beautiful and MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL
2021? Someone. This is art in its best. Shake you to your core.
underrated song, and singer.

Where has your music been all my life?
"boy if we like it we will find it."
Damn!! What a jewel of a song ✨ can’t stop listening!
This song randomly played I've been replying it for the past HR ! Wow beautiful song
i just happened to stumble upon this and i am in love. Literally searching for all her songs right now
Grace Smith Epic! More coming beautiful! ❤️
I've found this masterpiece today and i'm so in love...great great great
Artur Ribeiro Me Too ♥️
Today it showed up on my recommendation and already destroyed the replay button 😁
I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never!! What a precious find! Absolutely truly unique.
I wish Kwaye, Abi Ocia and FKA twigs would collab in the near future. We need that kind of remedy!
That would be DOPE! ❤️
Smooth and easy listening
There's something so sad about this song, but yet it's so heavy and deep that it captures the attention of anyone who listens. So in love with this. 🖤
Felt this - thank you ❤
Perfectly said. ❤

Shes absolutely amazing. Her style and voice are so special.
For those in search of new music to add to their collection...
Check out
Closure & Again by Sam Nelly You wont be disappointed I pinky promise.
My new bff! Thank you for Samnelly! I would have never found those songs! I must return the favor. Please listen to literally everything by Allan Rayman, and 6lack is one of my favorites right now. Anything at all by either of them is magic and peace and hope, just like Running ❤️ omg Charlotte Cadin, anything by her but I'm telling you, listen to "Like it doesn't hurt" you'll fall in love. "Dirty Dirty" is phenomenal as well. Ok ok, I've found a lot of new loves lately. Check out the most confident, sensual, gorgeous voiced human ever, Sabrina Claudio. My favorite right now by her is probably the accustic version of "The problem with you" I honestly haven't even heard the original studio version lol ok I'm done, I hope you find new loves!!! ❤️
I am sad because I was not know this great voice before , thank you Abi Ocia thank you Sean Lew 💜
I must've been living under a rock. This is my first time hearing this magical phenomenalism.
The love shown for this track has been absolutely beautiful. So beautiful, it was about time to drop some new music. 'Easy to Love,' the first single from my upcoming debut EP, out now! Listen here, ruclips.net/video/Pte2_mInfWs/видео.html!
