"Never Still" by Patti Smith

“Never Still” by Patti Smith serves as the beating heart of the anthem film. Written for RIMOWA as an ode to movement, Patti’s powerful poem captures the inherent human need to travel as we search for “new pages for our story.”

Patti Smith x RIMOWA

Listen to the poem narrated by Patti Smith

travel is its own book

Images we have captured in film in memory form its leaves

That when turned reveal a story of a life

We long to add new pages

We long to explore

We long for new sights

New noise

Unknown faces

Unentered doors

A pyramid

A towering spiral

An ancient gaze

The muscular history of past civilizations

The face of justice

We long to return

We do not look back

Never Still - A poem by Patti Smith Never Still - A poem by Patti Smith

We revisit

Places once trod in a new light

New shadows forming on architecture

On winding streets

We long to cross welcoming bridges

Connecting sea and sky and city

We are ready

To break through barriers

To don our coats

To gather provisions

To reclaim motion

To see with new eyes

The familiar

And the strange

New pages for our story

The unceasing turning of the leaves of life

A medley of snapshots capture the athlete’s shifting mindset towards a more intentional way of traveling and the importance of the company he keeps on his journey.
