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

‘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. www.clashmusic.com/news/listen-abi-ocia-running

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 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.

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!!! ❤️
