“Running” — A Raw Sprint Through the Heart
Tatum Treffeisen’s “Running” isn’t just a song—it’s a reckoning. Written while training for the Berlin Marathon, the track pulses with more than just physical endurance; it breathes with emotional honesty, dragging listeners into the tangled inner race of recovery, identity, and unseen battles.
With a voice that feels both feather-soft and bruised, Tatum opens the floodgates: “Let my body talk to my soul…” And from there, we’re off—not sprinting, but staggering through the beautifully messy terrain of her mind. The lyrics hit like journal entries scrawled in the margins of a hard year, dripping with weariness and truth. She sings of being “overstimulated but you cannot quit” and “running just so you can see the person you wanted me to be”—lines that feel universally piercing for anyone who’s ever felt invisible in their own story.
Backed by minimalistic, lo-fi production that only amplifies the rawness, “Running” avoids the polished gloss of overproduction. It’s the kind of song you put on during a late-night drive when you’re not sure if you’re escaping something or chasing clarity.
What makes this track unforgettable isn’t just its vulnerability—it’s the way Tatum hands it to us, unfiltered. No pretenses. Just the sound of a woman catching her breath in real time. And we can’t help but breathe with her.
