Check out the lyrics for the song@ http://www.songlyrics.com/yellow-ostrich/marathon-runner-lyrics/ The song is actually about running per se, but looking back at what you did eventually getting to the finish! I'm stuck on it, and have it in my 2012 Best of Playlist to keep me company during the day!
The March 2012 Freeplay includes Yukon Blonde, Justin Townes Earle, and Plants and Animals.
The second source is the growing ala carte/pay as you wish download site Noisetrade.com. This is a great site for bands that want to give you some music to hook you in, but not their brand new album.
In the case of Yellow Ostrich, they include the new single from their new album 'Marathon Runner' and their old album 'Whale' as well as a sampling of their works!
For me, I had already stumbled upon Yellow Ostrich in September with 'Whale' from their album Mistress. Add that to the drive and passion of 'Marathon Runner' and I was willing to check out more! For now, I'm stuck on 'Marathon Runner' as I find myself listening to it daily. It's just a tremendous song. Just as Mistress was the expressions of one man with a band, and new release Strange Land is an expression of the band; 'Marathon Runner' is way more mature as a song that 'Whale' could have been.
Did you like the song? What did you think?
