Singled Out: JD Eicher's Not Everybody Runs
.
JD Eicher recently released a new album entitled "The Middle Distance" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us the story behind the track "Not Everybody Runs". Here is the story: After writing several records that were more story-focused, I really wanted to get back to the "diary" with this latest release. HOWEVER, I let myself do one "story song," as long as I promised it would have a personal twist. "Not Everybody Runs" is several "snapshots" of people who have found themselves facing difficult choices. I think these choices stretch beyond simple right and wrong, and I think the actions these people ultimately take reflect a unique bravery in each individual. The song was an exercise in creating scenes outside of my own experience (I've been lucky enough to avoid these particular moments so far) - trying to look at these moments in earnest, as if I were there. We all have our consequences to face. When those moments come for me, I hope I can resist the urge to run. I recorded "Not Everybody Runs" in my basement with very limited gear, and I loved the intimacy and solitude of recording the new album this way. It really allowed me to live inside the songs and create recordings that very closely resembled the music I heard in my head. I also found myself banging that same head against the wall sometimes while I figured out what the hell I was doing. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
