100 Great Songs to Publish a Book to, #35: Renaissance, Running Hard

The two-minute piano intro to this track is worth the price of admission on its own.  A song about the struggle just to get by, this is nearly ten minutes of Renaissance’s best work.  It concludes with a power which slowly builds until each step of your everyday life feels like you’re carrying a hundredweight on your shoulders.  At least, it does to me.  (Subs pls check: How much does a lobotomy actually cost these days?  Ed.)

Onslaught is out now at the special introductory price of $2.99 in the US here, in the UK here, in Canada here, and in Australia here.
