Running on Faith

Running on Faith ist ein Rocksong, der von Jerry Lynn Williams vor 1986[1] geschrieben und unter anderem 1989 auf Eric Claptons Album Journeyman veröffentlicht wurde. 1991 erschien der Song auf dem Live-Album 24 Nights[2] und 1992 eine Akustik-Version auf dem Album Unplugged.[3] Außerdem erscheint das Lied auf den Kompilationalben Complete Clapton[4] und Clapton Chronicles: The Best of Eric Clapton.[5]

Running on Faith
Eric Clapton
Veröffentlichung	1989
Länge	5:33
Genre(s)	Rock
Autor(en)	Jerry Lynn Williams
Label	Duck / Reprise Records
Album	Journeyman

Der Song steht im Original in der Tonart G-Dur. Clapton spielt das erste Solo auf der 24 Nights-Version ebenfalls in G-Dur, wechselt im zweiten Solo aber zwischen G-Dur und G-Moll. Die Unplugged-Aufnahme des balladenhaften Songs spielt Clapton auf einem in Open-G gestimmten Dobro mit Slidetechnik. 2009 spielte Clapton nochmal die Akustik-Interpretation des Stückes während seiner Japan-Tournee mit normal gestimmter Gitarre.[6]

Kritiker Matthew Greenwald von der Musik-Website Allmusic beschrieb den Song als ein „oft übersehenes Meisterwerk aus dem Kassenschlager Journeyman.“ Claptons bluesiger Gesang, umgeben von einer perfekten Melodie und das absichtlich einfach gehaltene Arrangement seien exzellent.[7] Running on Faith erreichte 1993 Platz 15 der Mainstream-Rock-Charts und platzierte sich auf Rang 28 in den Adult-Contemporary-Charts.[8]
