Agreed. Just about every Renaissance song is my favorite Renaissance song, but Running Hard is my absolute favorite Renaissance song, if that makes sense. And if it doesn't, well, too bad.

Always loved Annie and was always amazed by the music. Had every album they put out. The piano solo in this comes from Litanies by Jehan Alain, a French composer who was also the brother of the extraordinary organist Marie-Claire Alain. There is a KZfaq video of her playing Litanies on the great organ of the Hofkirche in Luzern, Switzerland.
