“Running To The Sea” is a darkly moving electro-pop track likely inspired by the 2011 twin Oslo and Utøya attacks in Norway. On July 22, lone domestic terrorist Anders Behring Breivik planted explosives at government offices in Oslo, and dressing as a police officer, killed over 80 people in a deadly mass shooting on the island of Utøya. The two events constituted the highest casualties since World War II.

On the track, Susanne Sundfør’s hauntingly melancholy vocals capture the moments of the July 22 terror, amidst the “burning houses” in Oslo and the rush to watery refuge in Utøya.
