Tennis - Runner (Official Video)

- 'Runner' is the first song we wrote for our new record. It began as a guitar riff Patrick recorded while we were living off-grid, anchored in a fisherman's cove called San Juanico. The only instruments we had on board were an acoustic guitar and a drum sequencer, but the limitations seemed to work in our favor. Until that point, we had no clear vision for our writing.
The demo we recorded that day outlined the sound of our future, the first contours of our fifth full-lengthed album, called 'Swimmer,'

Lyrics:
Runner, I know you’re living with a wild hunger Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Living in the same old sin
I feel it blowing in the wind
Like manna in the desert, oh
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
Runner, you’re just a bottomless pit of hunger
Lead me to the promised land
Your manna is only a famine
Wandering the desert oh
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Leveled in a burning heat
Red Sea devouring me
Flowing over my stoned-soul
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
This is how you confuse future archaeologists
This comment is underrated af
♡
can someone explain
Lichi I believe they mean that the hair and clothes style looks very much like it could be from the 1970’s which would make archaeologists wonder when this video was made.
Very clever.
Definitely coming across this was a happy little accident.
That reference just made me a happy little cloud. ⛅
This was on my J Cole playlist for whatever reason, but I'm glad it was
First thing on my mind
SO TRUE
i saw the thumbnail and im like: huh i wonder what this sounds like...now im like 😳😳 💯
Her husband is a criminally underrated guitar player. Can you imagine a Khruangbin and Tennis collabo, with him and Mark Speer shredding together?!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that would be insane
This needs to happen. Someone get tennis's attention lol
Brilliant. I won't miss that.
We're not worthy! 😭
Dude you just sold me something I didn't know I needed in like 2 sentences
This is such a beautiful song, and I don’t mean to be rude, but I literally have no idea what she’s singing. However, I don’t need to know what she is saying because the vibes are right.
everyone have this same energy for kpop. just for the girl groups tho.
Riley Wooten I was thinking the same thing😂 I was like eh I’ll figure it out the more I listen to it
@@Originalclouds Eh, kpop is more of a chaotic mob while this is more like a calm in-group
Its referencing lot's wife from the bible ya know that who looked back at sodom and gamorrah when they were destroyed and became into a pillar of salt
The lyrics are literally in the description
BARB ROSS, YOU BETTER SNAP LIKE THAT!
Idk why this comment made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
LMFAO!!!!
Weakkk😂😂😂
BRROOOOOOOOO
I burst out laughing when I read this comment. Thank you, funny person.
This song makes me want to wear an outfit completely comprised of solid pastel colors and snap my fingers
You should do this.It's pretty fun.
Roy Hobbs I will be doing this for her concert, look for a boy in silk sof pastel green
@@visionofsolace8961
It is, it is
Roy Hobbs If only I had enough hair to get a nice big curly perm.
Roy : There's Always HALLOWEEN!! 🤠🖖
every time she sings “gonna take a miracle”, i ✨ascend✨
Same I get a boost of dopamine
ikr
Go listen to Gonna Take a Miracle by Laura Nyro. This song is full of references to her music: Beads of Sweat, He's a Runner, Blowin' Away....
I have a homie who listens to rap alot. Everytime he rides with me though I'll play music like this. And while he thinks hes slick, I can see him from the corner of my eye Shazaming it and playing it later lol
Dan Prem please sir, recommend me more music like this!!! I found this unique song randomly and I need more
@@Leothelion357 honestly sticking with this Artist isn't a bad start..she has more songs that vibe just like this and better. And you can always pop her name into Spotify and create a Radio Station off of it to ping similar artists/styles
I bang a lot of Nipsey, Freddy Gibbs, curren$y, Wiz and a lot of O.G. from back in the day but I’ll switch taTennis, Snoh Alggerah, Alina albaraz and Billie Eillish in seconds 😈
🤣🤣🤣🤣
We call it balance.
one of those songs that you get addicted to after first hearing it
MSTRFKRT oh yeah.
Day 7- listen to this sing 4 times a day
Over and Over
Yes
Happened to me. Literally had this song on repeat about six hours after first listen
This is a three-times-in-a-row jam.
6 time
The last three hours/length of song=# of jams
On repeat for a week already
This T.
This deserves a 10 hour loop
Her little dances are so cute and her curls will forever be poppin, do y’all hear me
Love you, Tennis!! ❤️
heh, yeah -- baby got moves 😎🍻
This album is based on a trip this couple of ten years went on, sailing across the east coat for a year; this album is based on their experiences within their relationship and outside of it. This is true art. 💜
Trust fund
@@Cereal_kwilla loll
I almost wish I didn't hear this, ruined them for me, LMAO. I'm aware that it's my short coming but yikes.
Actually that was what their first album was about not this album
I did not find this, it found me and I'm glad it did.
Holy shit; same here. I just heard it while doing some stuff on my PC. Now I like it a lot!
Same man. The first song I heard from them a good few months back now. Totally obsessed with them now! Like, unhealthily.
OMG SAME, I haven’t listened to Tennis for quite a few years, randomly clicked on them on Spotify, saw a new album,
Clicked this song and bamm . True luv ¿
@@ossimlz yeah same with me, I was researching songs for my music class a then I found this song and it can't stop listening to it!
I first heard this on one of the Music Choice channels, an I'm glad I did.
female bob ross is more perfect than I imagined
she looks more like barbra Streisand with her hair like that than bob ross tho
And the guitarist is a real ladies' man.
@@nachoroman2001 Don't you dare crush my dream of female Bob Ross
Babe Ross
Emily Mae BABE ROSS
Anyone else get goosebumps when the first big chord change hits at 0:42???
I get goosebumps here 2:43 everytime!! My favorite part
Foreal, it's just amazing 👏🏽
This song is so calming. I listened to it on a loop on a five hour bus ride where I was super anxious and it was just the right vibe to relax me. It’ll always be comforting to me because it got me through one of the hardest times of my life.
ugh yes it calms my anxiety so well. i listen to it everyday when I start work.
Why is this woman my grandma in her youth
edit: I don't usually edit my comments but because youtube was sending me notifications about it, it made me listen to this multiple times so congrats yt, I am now obsessed with this song
another edit 4 years later: This is now my favorite band, I can't go a day without listening to their music
ferris buller's elder sister
This feels like someone's grandmother (25 at the time) in her 1970's stylish music events together with her guitarrist boyfriend.
Hoze 123 Ferris sister was so hot holy shit
Has a late 60's vibe.
This is such a cool comment to see, I was thinking the exact same thing of my own grandma.
The type of songs you listen to when the homies aren’t around
@Toonex Media I know right....they'll just have to adapt or else
AbusingTylenol faaaaacts😭😭😭
Get better homies with better tastes in music
Make that a playlist lol
Dream Drop Sora Wanna be my homie?
Guys
These two have been married for 10 years.
This will hopefully give this song a whole new meaning and bring authentication because they bring truth to their love! This song is amazing!
Thank you for sharing! It totally adds a new layer of depth about this amazing song
They lived or live on a very small boat
@@brandonshaw7619 Which you can totally hear influence their early albums, it’s phenomenal.
I can feels their love crawling on my back
They are most likely twin flames and this song is about that.. (I think, lol)
The song references 4 songs by the extraordinary Laura Nyro: He's a Runner (1966), Stoned Soul Picnic (1968), Beads of Sweat (1970) and Nyro's mindblowing cover of Gonna Take a Miracle (1971). The vocal influenced by Nyro's Captain for Dark Mornings (1969). Nyro "probably influenced more successful songwriters than anyone" (Elton John). The Tennis song Mean Streets is a tribute to Nyro.
Best version of “It’s gonna take a miracle” for me is Deniece Williams! ..even though Laura wrote it.
@@Cereal_kwilla Actually Laura didn't write it. It was written by a trio of guys back in about 1965. Cheers.
this is really interesting backstory.
@@scumshine2351 Cheers. There are short youtube discussions of Nyro by Elton John/ Elvis Costello, Todd Rundgren, Alice Cooper, Narada Michael Walden and Sara Barellies and Wings of Pegasus. Nyro's unedited induction by Bette Midler in the Rock Hall of Fame in 2012 on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame channel is incredible and the best ever induction.
can you surry 😩
Is this what trying on outfits in a thrift store is like?
Got a Napoleon Dynamite feel with the clothes.
I guess that makes her husband a blond Uncle Rico.
Literally
The last blouse with the dots is very ethereal, then she loses her pants and becomes the sky Goddess.
Find out for yourself
if yall really think this you haven't spent a lot of time in a thrift store
Honestly, didnt think they would top I miss that feeling. This is a whole bop and a half
Renliaino make that two bops
@@ctrlpea7058 Two and a half
Me and my boys saw Tennis back in February. It was so wholesome. You can tell they really love each other.
I’m still wondering if I’ll be able to see them oct 22, but I really hope I can 🙏
Shes like celine dion cosplaying as bob ross
celine ross
LOL..
@@malicialetal : BAHAHAHA
Dude😂😂😂😂
I was scrolling down looking to see if anyone mentioned Celine. Exactly.
The instrumentals on this are sick.
I know right! I'm obsessed with it! ❤🔥
A Toro Y Moi x Tennis collab would be out of this world...
It SO would 💙💙
The more I listen to this song the more I wish I had an outfit like hers. She is so damn beautiful
it is shocking!!!
But her hair is ugly
easy easy, its called retro...just like the style of the clothing lol
@@charlie1483 yeah but looks ugly that's why people don't do this in the 20
easy easy, we have new trends. “Tennis” is obviously a band that has a retro style. Just bc everyone doesnt look like this today, doesnt mean its “ugly” to everyone
@@charlie1483 sadly it is ugly to more that 90% of the people
Playing Tennis has a whole new meaning.
Every bit of sweat....
UA-cam having TASTE putting them as artist on the rise.
I know you're living with a wild hunger

Yass thank you!
tyvm
i didnt realize about all these bible references in the song omg
Thank you dearie
Wow the biblical undertones though, creates a more intricate picture
I played this for a girl I've been dating for a couple months. She said I listen to gay, feminine music. I don't think I'll be seeing her again.
She doesn’t deserve you, buddy.
Her loss.
You deserve someone better
Shes trash my guy, you the catchm
respect
This song a year ago helped me get out of some tough mental battles bc of how upbeat the song is. Still is sooo good
Your voice is so delicate but also so strong im🥺
I LITERALLY STAYED 1 HOUR LOOKING FOR THIS MUSIC, I SEARCHED "BLONDE SINGER WITH CURLY HAIR AND BOYFRIEND 70S STYLE"...
WAIT THATS KINDA CUTE
it's worth the time. they have other good tunes too :D
Husband
SO DID I... my god
lista de quem perguntou
Vibing to this song at 3AM hits way different
This makes me dance walk around my apartment while doing chores
I FEEL THIS SO MUCH OMG
Yes. It makes me Dance walk to the Shower.
woah another Mitski fan
She perfects her fro a little bit more with each album lol
It is evolving
Sometimes, we catch a faint glimpse of a perfect world.
The way she changes how she sings "If I become a pillar of salt, I know that it was all my fault" in the last chorus 3:10 is enchanting
I love smoking a fat joint and blasting this while driving through my city. This song is just too good
It's been too long since I've heard TENNIS
If '''coffeeshop-core' was a thing, this song would be a pinacle of that. All baristas thank you that they have something to add to their spotify "chill indie lounge" playlists.
Jakob van Klinken amazing comment
This is classic disco type music wouldnt fit a calm coffee shop. Its for late night dances
I'd think of a more folk type vibe but I guess it depends on the coffee shop we are talking about.
As a barista I'm ashamed to admit I was just thinking I can't wait to play this at work
@@harleycook5538 hahaha love it!
I was literally sitting in a LensCrafters when i heard this song. Shazamed it, changed my whole life
I listen to it everyday on my drive to and from work.
You wrote a hymn again, woman.
GaelDT a Caucasian spiritual 😂
SoulOfTheRain the spiritual I’m referring to is a type music. bye...
@Daniel Del Valle b nice boi
Daniel Del Valle 😂
I dunno what I did to find this song on accident, but I am so eternally grateful
She looks like Jennifer Grey circa "Dirty Dancing", sounds like Kate Bush a la "This Woman's Work" and has my mom's hair from 1985. No joke.
My mom(white grl)had an afro in the late 70’s-mid 80’s, leather purses with brass latch, making wool fabric Gods Eye..a truly beautiful time to grow up!
My mom had a fro in the 80’s too. My fiancé’s mom had one too...in Korea.
I love this. It would appear that Tennis are big fans of the great Laura Nyro, since their song 'Mean Streets' is about Nyro. Also, this song here references a number of Laura Nyro songs: He's a Runner (1967), Stoned Soul Picnic (1968), Beads of Sweat(1970), and Nyro's cover of Gonna Take a Miracle, 1971.
How is it possible that such an iconic song has so little views?
patrick and alaina are life goals
My first listen-through of this album I thought "damn this sounds like sailing". Only to eventually look them up and find out...yes. This just about encapsulates surf rock/pop so wholly in a way I wish I could have experienced back in the 70s. Absolutely a new favorite.
It’s too early for my wig to be snatched. Tennis, we don’t deserve this ❤️
Bish facts
2015 the first time I heard your song High Road, the songs hits me so well i got hooked and googled about you. since then i listen to every tracks, and i always sing along plus your lyrics speaks to me. most of my friends finds me weird when i tell them Tennis is my favourite band, cos im an african girl who never left the shores of west africa. my dream is to watch you on a stage someday. thanks for this masterpiece you guys never dissappoint.
Juliet Godwin ok but you didn’t have to make me cry like that
I hope you can watch 'em someday. truely ❤
woww i was not prepared for the steaminess of that kiss at the end..
I've been waking up at 5:00 am to run at least two days a week and I was searching for videos on how to improve my routine but I found this song instead. I'm glad this happened
beautiful. iconic. ethereal. never the same. amazing. perfect.
That one knee finger snap is the future folks.....2020 here we go!!!
I never would have thought that an alt pop song singing about Lot's wife, would get nearly 3 million views. I've loved these guys, all the way back to small sound keep up the incredible work. Origins is still maybe my favourite song still, the lyrical content is just so F-ing incredible and makes be evaluate my life and circumstances every time I hear it. I really ask myself if I am unknowingly surrendering my personal power to others and whether its from a place of love or trespass.
🏃 LYRICS 🏃♀️
Runner, I know you're living with a wild hunger
Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust

Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck

You know you'll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Leveled in a burning heat
Red Sea devouring me
Flowing over my stoned-soul
Gonna take a miracle…
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can't go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I'll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat

This is incredibly spiritual and lovely.
They're in the description
Pete Fury they are now. They weren’t when the video was first put up
Thank you.
Yes! Finally new music by them! I love it! Swimmer out February 2020!
Valentines Day!
@@Burgerkingfootlettuce456 Perfect for the occassion !
The way she just flows through this entire song
Masterpiece. I listen to runner everyday and it doesn’t get old
We can die happy indeed
Finallyyyyyyyyyy new Tennis Song ✨✨😭😭💕💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From the amazing writing in their lyrics to the groovy guitar Melodie’s this duo is criminally underrated.
The first time I listened to this I was in my sophomore year and completely fell in love with this song. Life was so good during January-March 2020 right before lockdown. Reviving those beautiful times with this masterpiece.
Every time I listen to this, everything is right in the world.
She is dangerously cute.
what is dangerous about cute?
tox0tes she’s jailbait
Agreed.
@@Darth_Revan25 Guys, I don't get it. She's in her 30's.
@@diracleo dangerously in this context doesn't mean the standard definition. It just means "immensely/incredibly/extremely"
Been listening to Tennis 4 years strong now✌🏾
may these melodies swirl on inside my head forever
I look up Tennis EVERYTIME I go on UA-cam in hopes to see a new video from them, but lol I got a newsletter from Tennis telling me THEY had a new video! Best thing to wake up to after a bad week!
A newsletter ?? I need to sign up !
Yeah, if you go to their official website, you can sign up there!
Yeah, me too. First glimpse xx.
K1dCharlemagne yes I have subscribed to their UA-cam channel but didn’t think about the official newsletter hahaha and I’m a huge fan !
Synths by the end of the song nearly bring me to tears. Welcome back Tennis.
You should listen to TSLAMP by MGMT. Similar ending.
The synths are incredible. Heavy, but also weightless and spacial! Ethereally beautiful. They do indeed evoke nostalgia and powerful inner emotions.
So this is what it feels like to be in the 70's-80's. I like it. Thx for letting me time travel!
saw them live in Austin, what an amazing show! cant wait to have them back :)
She's like if Barbra Streisand in a star is born and Saoirse Ronan had a wonderfully funky baby
She looks like white 1970s Minnie Ripperton.
Omg perfect
She looks nothing like Barbra Streisand.
Stardere I honestly thought Streisand right off the bat. Especially from ASIB
She's individually beautiful the way she is. What a star she is!
That make out session at the end though
Loool
I thought it was gorgeous
I was like “whoa whoa whhoooaaa” bahaaa
it got a *little* bit steamy in here.
@@jaylinwasneverhere and sweaty
GONNA TAKE A MIRACLE (for me to stop listening to this every day)
Good one.
Frl☠️ this song is just too addicting
So so so glad this song is on the work radio. Always makes the shift go faster
I love a happy ending
"Ever watch Bob Ross?"
"Not even once."
You're handsome af William, and yay good taste in Tennis
Never stop being what you two are. So much warmth, inspiration and love. thank you thank You Thank You. 🧡
i am obsessed with their 70s aesthetic
OMG YOU GUYS NEVER DISAPPOINT !!!! THIS IS THE SERVE OF THE CENTURYYYY
Omg finally a new song! I love it so much, I love all your music 😍😍😍
I love this song. It gives a lot of 80's, 90's vibes. We need more music like this.
Watching Tennis grow as artists over the last decade has been amazing. This new record is just superb and is a pleasure to listen to again and again.
You did this with a drum sequencer and a guitar on a freaking boat? Everything about you guys is awesome. The style, the vibes and you have a super cool voice. I cannot wait for you guys to blow up. Because you willm
I can't believe mom and dad are gonna give us the gift of their love on valentine's day
can't believe this song has been out for this long and i'm just now discovering it... the singing is so enchanting i'm obsessed
I think this song is my fave from them honestly 😌✌️💜🎶
Was so happy to see this in my sub feed today!! I have loved and followed this band since about 2011. In 2012 I got to meet the band at a show. Alaina herself was extremely kind and approachable. I've seen another one of their live shows back a couple years ago. If you are a fan GO SEE THEM LIVE! They are fantastic!
I love the classic 70s-early 80s style of this.
One of my favorite tracks ever
Heard someone described Tennis as a modern day Captain and Tennille, but without the hitting.
I have no words for that.
I listen to this when I'm sad and want to cry it really helps calm me down
so we're gonna have new tame impala and new tennis at the same day next year. i just can't believe, thank u so much
Lucas, you have very good taste in music!
@@finnegan6371 ahaha thanks! they're so great, right? i still hope they'll make a song together one day
If I could get background music to dreams while asleep this would be it. The way her voice harmonises with the instruments is pure bliss
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 3 YEARS AND FINALLY FOUND IT THE SEROTONIN IS FLOWINGGGGG 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Unique and original. Amazing and powerful lyrics.
Where the hell has this been all my life? Man this is groovy AF
the eye contact on the 2nd guitar part melts me
