Runnin’ on Fumes is all about channeling that exhausted energy you may or may not feel after returning home from a long day of whatever was occupying you.

Personally, I find it to be a very ethereal, dream-like state. I’m not especially coherent and I am definitely not operating at full capacity. 

I find myself having stray thoughts flit in and out of my head, some lingering longer than others, but all very much fuzzy.

Breath plays a huge role in this piece.

Feel each silence and treat the act of playing or listening to the piece as a meditation exercise. 

Even after finishing this piece, I find myself playing it often, it has become something of a meditative practice.

I encourage you to relax and be in the present moment while listening to and playing this piece.
