About This Track

Bradley Nowell's lyrics reference The Jimi Hendrix Experience, pulling a line from "I Don’t Live Today." The song's theme of coping with a fucked up world through drug use adds a layer of vulnerability to the alternative rock track. Michael "Miguel" Happoldt, who produced this track, also worked on other songs in the playlist, creating a sonic throughline.

Why It Works for Running

At 100 BPM, this track is slow enough to keep you from pushing, but the consistent rhythm prevents your mind from drifting toward stopping. The bass guitar lays a foundation that's steady enough to keep your feet moving, even when your mind is tempted to quit.
