The video shows 36 missing kids but because of the video 25 have been found with 11 still missing. A 2019 People Magazine page posted online shows what the kids would look like grown up.
The little boy at the end of the video,Thomas Gibson, is still an unsolved case. The dad, a deputy sheriff at the time that Thomas went missing, was arrested and convicted of 2nd degree manslaughter. He was sentenced to less than 2 years and only served one. Tragic lives and for most of those missing, very tragic endings.
So impressed Soul Asylum did this video. Kudos to a generation that cared so much , it was in the music. Very genuine reaction. It was all said by your facial expressions.
On the 25th anniversary of this song they re-released it where it would pair up with the location app on your device to show missing kids in your area.
This song was about the problems the lead singer had with depression and drug use , the song was handed to a video guy and changed the emphasis of this song , to date many countries have different faces in their videos and many young people have been reunited or been found safe but not reunited but alive and well
Sometimes we don’t want to be found. Due to constant abuse, first physical then mental and emotional, by my mother, I went no contact. Thirty four years later, I made the mistake of contacting a sister. Big mistake! Went back no contact and have moved three times since then. If I keep running then my sisters won’t find me. I am not an easy person to deal with, but as the song said, ‘A little out of touch, a little insane, just easier than dealing with the pain’
What a Powerful Song & Video. Wash on MTV 24-7 and more than Half of the Kids on the Video were Rescued. This was so Powerful that Different Versions of this was Seen in different countries,saving several Children throughout the World
David Pirner has a great sounding voice. This is a great song. Sadly, it will always be relevant. I hope it will always do some good, with this song being out in the world.
The first time I heard this song and lyrics I immediately think to depression and suicide thought... I can relate to this. I losen a friend for suicide and I suffer myself from depression. And when you make that choice and take this "train", this is a runaway train never going back... it's just easier than dealing with the pain...
I saw Soul Asylum perform this song when they were one of the warm-up acts for Guns N Roses in Milton Keynes, England just before the video dropped in June 1993. About 3 years later I finally saw the video and was sad to see all those people missing.
Great job with your reaction to the song Runaway train from Soul Asylum . This is a very hard video to watch. Half of the missing persons in the video have been found,
Sadly one turned out to be dead, murdered by her own mother and buried in the back yard...others were returned to abusive homes so while there were many happy outcomes some were not
In Australia they had different pictures, so they must of done that for different countries as well. In the Australian version the singer says “if your one of these people, or know someone please call this number.” Missing person hotline number came up.
Such a beautiful and powerful song and video. I loved your reaction but you guys didn’t talk about what you thought about the actual song at all!! I’m assuming you liked it though.
Also zufälligerweise, habe ich 1995 mit meiner Mum zusammen ein Interview von der Band im TV gesehen, dort hat der Liedsänger erklärt worum es in dem Lied geht, beziehungsweise wie er auf den Text des Liedes gekommen ist, daraufhin antwortete der Liedsänger, dass er mit dem Song auf etwas Aufmerksam machen wollte, was damals zu dieser Zeit versucht wurde zu verschweigen beziehungsweise es zu vertuschen!!! Damals wie auch Teilweise Heute noch, verschwinden Personen auf unerklärliche weise einfach, Niemand weiß wer Sie entführt und wohin diese Personen gebracht wurden, manche von ihnen tauchten nach Jahren wieder auf und manche bleiben bis Heute Spurlos verschwunden!!! Und damals Kursierte das Gerücht, dass es einen Zug gibt, in dem Die Verschwunden Personen eingeladen werden und irgendwohin gebracht werden, warum und weshalb das weiß keiner daher der Name RunnawayTrain und deshalb auch die Einblendungen im Video, welche Personen damals auf Mysteriöse Weise einfach Spurlos Verschwunden sind!!! Das soll die eigentliche Bedeutung des Songs sein, erklärte die Band damals im TV Interview und zusätzlich kamen dann noch die Depressionen des Liedsängers hinzu, die er wegen dieser Gerüchte hatte, denn eine ihm nahe stehende Person, verschwand damals auch auf unerklärliche weise, dies alles wollte er in diesem Song zum Ausdruck bringen und auf das Problem in Amerika Aufmerksam machen!!! Daraufhin gab es dann noch Verschiedene Versionen aus anderen Ländern, denn dieses Mysterium ereignet sich nicht nur in Amerika sondern Weltweit, verschwinden Personen auf unerklärliche Weise und niemand weis so recht, wer dahinter steckt, einige vermuten die Regierung wieder andere vermuten Aliens, wieder andere vermuten ein Geheimbund usw.
Believe us when Gen X tells you we actually had real emotions, just no social media... It was a lot easier to live when every one of your mistakes wasn't in danger of being a global incident, but we still had problems, emotions, and people who gave an actual fuck about other people. Now? We're all jaded because we were the ones who figured out how corrupt this shit actually is.
i love the video and don't get me wrong it did a lot of good, but it does detract from what the songs about so many come out thinking its about a runaway kid, when in fact its about depression and drug addiction
Great song sad topic. You want to dive into it a little bit more. You need to watch the sound of freedom . It really gets into the sex trafficking crap

I wish someone like Taylor swift would do a video like this today, her fanbase and social media could help a lot

At last count 21 missing people have been found from these videos...there were different versions for different regions
Yep was just about to write that.Can remember the Australian version with the different missing people on there.
@jarrodwells8502 a few of the people shown on the Australian version turned out to be victims of Ivan Milat.
@@jayjayjase9796 yes can remember that now that you mention it.
If I remember this correctly, they recorded for different countries with people missing from that country. Something like 5 different countries.
Yes that is correct, the video had a UK version, a relative Lee Boxell was one of those featured.
Timeless song ❤
This is such a classic.
I've seen them live and although I can't remember any other song, I remember that it was a great concert.
oh 90s.. back when music wasn't just about happy things
Right, because there were no "sad songs" after the 90's >>.>>

A GenX classic

One of the girls featured on the video returned home thanks to this song.

not a happy song but i loved Soul Asylum! they were fantastic!
Great reaction video! Soul Asylum is from my home state of Minnesota. You should check out Black Gold by them.
David Pirner has a great sounding voice. This is a great song. Sadly, it will always be relevant. I hope it will always do some good, with this song being out in the world.
They also had an amazing song from around 2005 or there about called Stand Up and be Strong.Didn’t get anywhere near the airtime It deserved.
I saw this as a teenager. 30 years layer the video haunts me.
The first time I heard this song and lyrics I immediately think to depression and suicide thought... I can relate to this. I losen a friend for suicide and I suffer myself from depression. And when you make that choice and take this "train", this is a runaway train never going back... it's just easier than dealing with the pain...
I'm glad these kids were found after this video was released. I wish Thomas Gibson was found though.

Thanks for reacting to one of my top alternative tracks.
I've always loved this song and the video just adds to it.❤👍
Now if you watch the video on a certain site it shows all the kids missing in the area that your watching from
A number of the people in this that were missing, ended up being found.
Sadly one turned out to be dead, murdered by her own mother and buried in the back yard...others were returned to abusive homes so while there were many happy outcomes some were not
Runaways and those that end up being trafficked. So freaking sad and so true
Michelle Ann %the Farley was actually one of the ones who was found. She had run away with her boyfriend
In Australia they had different pictures, so they must of done that for different countries as well.
In the Australian version the singer says “if your one of these people, or know someone please call this number.” Missing person hotline number came up.
Soul Asylum, a great band, I love it ever!!!❤❤
A couple of the girls on here were later known to have been killed by The Green River killer, a (since) famous serial killer of the time.
Sound of Freedom is the only representative action to expose human trafficking since Soul Asylum.
Such a beautiful and powerful song and video. I loved your reaction but you guys didn’t talk about what you thought about the actual song at all!! I’m assuming you liked it though.
