Every Song Takes a Journey: "Running Red Lights” – A behind the scenes look into the making of an original track by Irish singer-songwriter Keelan X.

Ever wondered how a song is written and released from start to finish? Go behind the scenes of "Running Red Lights", an original 80s influenced, synthpop track inspired by my Irish roots, the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland, and completed over a whirlwind year of writing, recording, and refining.

You'll get a first-hand look into how emotion, human stories and persistence shaped every part of getting this song over the line.
