Running Underwater by Marlena Phillips

Written and Recorded by Marlena Phillips, copyright 2019.

This was my first full production original song in 25 years. Very fitting, since this song is all about how slow your dreams move forward when the responsibilities of life must come first. I had an absolute blast with this song. From the time I first imagined it, sitting at home alone at my piano, to developing ideas with some dear friends, working with talented Nashville keyboardist/orgainist Steve Peffer (Alabama), having several musicians give generously of their time and talents to make this song great, and finally finishing 6 months later, it was a beautiful ride. This song became even more exciting than I’d initially imagined, and I’m extremely grateful for each person’s contributions. Feeling SO FORTUNATE.

Running Underwater by Marlena Phillips

I haven't been to Boston in such a long time
Haven't seen much of the world in my own life
Racing on a treadmill to nowhere fast
Task list growing with an endless stack of bills

And the days fly by, and my dreams go slow
Time moves on, and it's go, go, go
It's like running underwater, and flying without wings
Where it ends I cannot know
Oh, but it's a beautiful ride.

Lately my songs are flowing through me
Coming from a place that I feel, but not see
I think I'm on the verge of something more
Yeah, there's got to be something more for me

And the days (years) fly by, and my dreams go slow
Time moves on, and it's go, go, go
It's like running underwater, and flying without wings
Where it ends I cannot know
Oh, but it's a beautiful ride.
