Rosemary Schultz came to music late and sideways. The Ohio-born, Nashville-based singer served in the military before she ever wrote a song, picking up a guitar afterwards as a way to sort through what was left in her head. Four years on, that private outlet has turned into a small, growing catalog of indie folk songs built on rough-edged acoustic guitar, harmonica, and a voice that sounds equal parts gentle and stubborn. “Run With The Wolves” sits right in the middle of that story.
The song opens with bright, steady guitar that leans toward Americana, brushed drums keeping an easy tempo underneath. When Schultz starts singing, the tone softens but the line stays firm; she sounds calm, not passive, carrying the melody like a thought she has lived with for a long time. The hook lands quickly and hangs around, the kind of chorus you catch yourself humming before the track ends.
Lyrically, “Run With The Wolves” traces a shift from holding on to finally letting go. You can hear the influence of Women Who Run With the Wolves in the way she writes about inner strength without turning it into a slogan. The freedom she describes is quiet: leaving an old chapter, trusting your own pace, finding other people who move the same way. Jared Corder’s production at Polychrome Ranch keeps everything close to the ground, just guitar, drums, and Schultz at the center, which suits the song’s feeling of starting over without spectacle.
As a sync piece, “Run With The Wolves” fits cleanly into coming-of-age stories, small-town dramas, or road-trip scenes where a character is finally honest with themselves. It works anywhere you need a late-night decision, a long drive out of town, or the moment someone finally walks away and does not look back.
