"On the Run" is the third track[nb 1] from English rock band Pink Floyd's 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon.[6][7] It is an instrumental piece performed on an EMS synthesizer (Synthi AKS). It deals with the pressures of travel, specifically air travel, which according to Richard Wright, would often bring fear of death.
