Wild Cub cover version

Nashville duo Wild Cub did a cover of this song. Dale Lavine of Hootingandhowling.com said the following about it: "Tasteful and rustic, no doubt. Piano melodies fall over a solid beat, all tossed together with that soulfully gruff voice that has made bands like Alabama Shakes and Imagine Dragons rise to relative infamy. The same could be said for Wild Cub, who are well on their way to becoming another big name. Their cover of ‘Running’, along with so many of their other songs, presents an atmosphere of that classic romantic melancholy while retaining modern pop-esque rhythms."[6] Elliott Batte of Stereoboard.com called it an "atmospheric, piano based jam carried by the ever impressive vocal of Keegan DeWitt. The end result is a reworking of the track which pays direct homage to the original while featuring the attributes that have made Wild Cub one of the most exciting new bands in circulation currently".[7]
