filmed on our 2015 camcorder in the badlands outside of Chimayo New Mexico on our way to FAI 2026 the song is "Deep Water Fish" from our upcoming album "Over Again" out May 1st. This song is a reminder that you don't have to see your own light to shine.

"New Year" Music Video

Posted By Marian Runk, Tuesday, December 9, 2025
Updated: Tuesday, December 9, 2025

My new music video, "New Year," premiered at Rainbow Rodeo  last week, and is now up on my YouTube channel!  

"Marian Runk takes a cautiously optimistic approach with her meditative video 'New Year.' The song tumbles off of Runk's tongue like a minuet, an almost stream-of-consciousness account of a small moment that ends up revealing a large impact."
