[Verse 1]
It seemed like yesterday
But it was so long ago, long ago
Jimmy was lovely, was the king of my nights
And the darkness with the radio playin' low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like wildfire

[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were running against the wind

[Verse 2]
The years rolled out, I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
It took all I own
Found myself running from my home
Guess I lost my way
Oh, therе were so many roads
I was livin' to run and running to live

[Chorus]
Against thе wind
Against the wind
We were young and strong
And always on the run
Against the wind

[Verse 3]
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all the rules that would bend
I found myself searching for shelter again
Against the wind
Against the wind
And we were running again and again

[Chorus]
And we're young and strong
I'm a little older now but I'm still running
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
We're young and strong
Again, against the wind

Moody ruminations on the fragile nature of life can be a tough sell, especially when they’re flecked with haunting moans and screams. But from the mid-1990s on, Chan Marshall has proven herself a singer and songwriter who can really get under your skin. Working under the name Cat Power, she’s earned a devoted, steadily growing fanbase that’s followed her from humble avant-folk beginnings. As much about atmosphere as they are melody, her records have also become successively richer in sound, soul and scope.
