about
I had the opportunity to record a single out at Jim Henson Studios in LA back in December. I got the chance to work with Nathan Jenkins who has worked with Beyonce, Aaliyah, and a whole list of other awesome people. He chose one of my songs to record, “Running”, and brought in a group of musicians from Joseph Karnes (bassist for Fitz and the Tantrums), Blair Sinta (drummer for Alanis, Melissa Etheridge), Zac Rae (pianist for Annie Lennox, Fiona Apple) and Joel Shearer (guitarist for Damien Rice, Alanis), and me (Eric Himan, Eric Himan) to play on the track. I had the time of my life being able to record with these guys in this historic place (Muppet-land!) and one of the highlights of my career. It also features a fantastic horn section and the vocal stylings of, Theresa Jones, a backup singer for Chaka Khan, Snoop Dogg, and many more.

Running
written by Eric Himan
(Thumbcrown Records Publishing, Inc, ASCAP)
Some days I wanna be your partner
for any crime you wanna commit
Some days I wanna be the policeman on the corner
gonna catch you when you're least expecting it
Tell me what's the deal, tell me who's to blame
you got me coming and a going in the pouring rain
I swing and sway fight then I cave, I gotta let you know
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
Some days I wanna be your keeper
some days I feel just like your slave
some days I wanna be the lighthouse in your harbor
some days you bring me waves
Tell me what's the deal, tell me who's to blame
you got me coming and a going in the pouring rain
I swing and sway fight then I cave, I gotta let you know
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
Wanna run away where the wild is near
want you standing by my side when the coast is clear
wanna have my say yet keep your view,
wanna have my cake and eat it too
Wanna push you far
come back to me
got a fence around you
no one can see
fraid' your gonna quit cherish what you've done
one day I'm gonna push you til you run
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
I'm running in and out of your love
