Running days is one of those songs that just comes out� I mostly cut songs that way. I hit record and start playing and usually something going on at the time comes out.

I woke at night and went to a studio I had booked up overnight and started recording ideas. The exact same lyrics you listen in the song came on the original improve.

At the time, I had moved to the US and after being here for an year I was not earning any money� don't really knowing what to do� (I never really know what to do)� but I was happy with the adventure. I had recently arrived from NY and we know that city� it's a Running City. The feeling in the air was and is that these days go fast in big cities., even in LA that's a sparse metropolis but still you have so many things going on at the same time.

It's a happy and optimistic song about the speed of nowadays that's usually perceived as something bad. So everything was looking so fine� those running days.

The Video came out the same way two months later. I was visiting my girlfriend at the time, in NY and my younger brother Andres was visiting us. I woke up one day and told him "We are going to the Brooklyn Bridge to shoot a Video of a guy trying to get into the city and not being able to". We had no script or a clear Idea of what to do but went that same day and started shooting this stop motion video of a guy in the bridge that would play around but could not cross it� Next day we came up with the idea of him falling asleep� learning to fly from a ghost in his dreams and finally being able to fly towards the city. It took me a lot of time afterwards to edit and add the drawings on the video but the simple idea came clearer and clearer� a little clich� but straight forward� and happy. I guess to follow ones feelings or dreams and play around with our ghosts to learn to "fly" over the cities or realities we go through� to be able to do what we need and makes us happy.

I'm still in LA do, thinking of moving to NY all the time�. Will eventually! But I love LA and I'm not in a hurry� in these running days!
