In ‚Sprinter‘ verarbeitet die Singer Songwriterin Cat Ridgeway den plötzlichen und tragischen Tod ihrer Freundin. Sie singt über den Spagat zwischen Leben und Tod und wie diese manchmal sehr dicht beisammen sind. Gerade wenn man mit Depressionen zu kämpfen hat.

„My friend was a runner, a sprinter, which I found poetic because of how much she metaphorically ran from her problems. I felt like I was doing the same thing. But then I realized by writing this song and album, I was running straight into everything I’d been avoiding processing. It may have been in different directions, but we both ran, so it only felt right to call the record Sprinter.” Cat Ridgeway über ‚Sprinter‘.
