I could write a song for you so sweet it’d raise you to your feet 
and you’d come running
 Yeah, I could sing into your little ear all the words you need to hear to get things running
 You’d better get your Nikes on I’m about to start my song 
for you honey
 I’ll just be glowing here for you I know exactly what you’ll do yeah, you’ll come running And you could wake the morning with your gaze have it coming back for days and I’d come running 
Yeah, you could will with just one eye a willingness in me to rise -
 you get things running 
I best be warming up my legs
 I can see you lift your head - 
it’s getting sunny
 I’ll be tanned and I’ll be charmed I’ll be breathless in your arms from all that running Never glimpsed, never thought of, 
never dreamed Still there’s something in us that’s closing the distance between 
And I’m on my mark, I’m on your call, 
I’m on my knee
 And I’ll come running,
 you just say when... And with the wind upon our face
 we could lead this whole damn race for we be running 
Till the condition of our hearts 
is beyond a work of art,
 yeah, we come running 
And when the contours of our worlds are right next each other curled
 up like bunnies
 We’ll play roles to get us in the mood I’ll be me, you’ll be you
 and we’ll be stunning

I​ ​was​ ​the​ ​light​ ​in​ ​the​ ​lantern, you​ ​were​ ​involved​ ​in​ ​the​ ​air, and​ ​we​ ​gave​ ​a​ ​nod as​ ​the​ ​wind​ ​came​ ​on​ ​strong and​ ​quilted​ ​up​ ​all​ ​that​ ​was​ ​there. With​ ​weather​ ​complete​ ​for​ ​a​ ​child, from​ ​inside​ ​that​ ​house,​ ​it​ ​can’t​ ​fade and​ ​when​ ​it​ ​occurs my​ ​body​ ​returns and​ ​we​ ​become​ ​one​ ​and​ ​the​ ​same.

Someone​ ​buried. Someone​ ​bright. Someone​ ​called someone​ ​in​ ​sight. The​ ​way​ ​to​ ​be​ ​telling​ ​of​ ​futures is​ ​all​ ​you​ ​can​ ​say​ ​from​ ​your​ ​seat Open​ ​and​ ​energy pours​ ​through​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​thee, it​ ​pools​ ​and​ ​then​ ​it​ ​lands​ ​at​ ​your​ ​feet.

about

The defining feature of Ryan Downey’s music is his voice, a jaw-dropping amalgamation of Leonard Cohen and a spirited Bill Callaghan by way of a mid-century crooner. Running is a glorious and perfectly constructed 21st century folk gem, not a note detracts from Downey’s rich baritone as he sings a song cycle of humour and pathos. Self-analysis, sex, love and modern life. 

Deftly plucked nylon string guitar, mesmerizing baritone, pitter-patter electric beats, electric guitar flourishes and rich synths; Downey has created a musical world unlike any that you’ve heard. This is as close to emotional and musical perfection as you’re likely to hear on a record this year. Pure magic. 

Produced by Steve Hassett (Luluc) and recorded in both New York and Melbourne, Running reveals Ryan Downey as a timeless talent. An incredible debut from an artist capable of balancing cheek and sincerity, classicism and swagger and grandeur and restraint all within a single, composed breath.
