Overview

"Running" is the debut single by the band InSoc (Information Society) originally released on the Creatures of Influence album in 1985. The single for Running was distributed to club DJs, and became a favorite all over clubs, particularly in the Latin clubs of New York City. The single was later remixed by Tommy Boy Records and the remix single was released and became even more of a club hit, eventually reaching number 2 on the Dance/Club Airplay charts. Tommy Boy Records signed Information Society in 1986 and their self-titled album soon followed, featuring a mix of the single. In 1988 Information Society's self-titled album was released and went platinum. Unlike other singles in the catalogue, "Running" does not feature Kurt Harland on lead vocals, as the song was written and recorded by short-lived band member Murat Konar, who left the band in 1985 and would later be an integral part of the development of both SoundEdit (a Mac hosted sound editing application) and Adobe Flash applications. For a very long period of time, the band would not perform "Running" live, requesting not to be asked to play it and generally refusing all questions pertaining to their dislike of the song. It is generally believed this is due to the song being very difficult to play live, and because the song was written at a particularly fractious period in the band's life. In early 2008, Murat Konar joined Paul Robb, Jim Cassidy, and Kurt Harland onstage in San Francisco to sing "Running". It was the first (and only) time Konar and the rest of the band had ever performed "Running" live together; the handful of 80s era 'live' performances of "Running" by Konar and the band were actually live vocals performed over prerecorded instrumental tracks.

Notable quotes

“Run! Run, like the devil's behind us. Run, to where no one can find us. Be my compass.”
— Alessia Caracciolo, "Outlaws", Know-It-All (2015), Def Jam
“Now, here you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
— Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass, chapter 2.—Logical Nonsense: The Works of Lewis Carroll, ed. Philip C. Blackburn and Lionel White, p. 177 (1934). First published in 1872.
“The wise runner, in crowded company, will want to glance around him occasionally to study approaching traffic that may result in his being trapped by methods described above. So while "Don't look back!" and "Don't run wide on curves!" is good general advice, there are times when a runner must disregard them and think for himself.”
— Harold Keith, Sports and Games (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell, 1941), p. 248
“All day he ran. He did not rest. He seemed made to run on forever. His iron-like body ignored fatigue. And even after fatigue came, his heritage of endurance braced him to endless endeavour, and enabled him to drive his complaining body onward.”
— Jack London, White Fang (1905).
“Wearing headphones is a contentious point. Most women runners I know don't wear headphones, and that's during the day, because they are concerned about their safety.”
— Esther Newman as quoted by Rick Kelsey, “Samsung apologises for advert showing woman running alone at 2am”, BBC, (28 April 2022)
“Woah, look over here We got a cute little ol' runner to the right Blue shorts, no shirt Whoo! You're looking good darling That's right, stay in shape”
— KT Oslin, "Younger Men", "80's Ladies" (1987)
