The Pharcydes Runnin’ Again
The Pharcyde’s classic “Runnin’” is back as an exclusive remix by the Philippians for Delicious Vinyl’s RMXXOLOGY. A ballad depicting the coming of age, the song follows the gang as they face the trials and tribulations that come with getting older. The boys of The Pharcyde learn to stand up and fight ignorance– and call on us to do the same. From tussles in the halls to combating institutionalized racism, The Pharcyde’s lyrics still ring true today. The video relays this serious message while also adding to the dreamlike quality the Philippians create; it delivers us to a land in which the members of The Pharcyde are struggling to sort through what is fantasy, reality, and nightmare. The sleepy acoustic guitar riff added by the Philippians underscores the beat and synths, creating a hypnotic lyrical and musical combination not to be missed.
