Saw a documentary about this song. Soul asylum was a small band with a loyal fanbase.After Dave wrote this song they knew that they would be worlfamous and everything would change. And the idea to put missing teens in the video on MTV was just brilliant. Nice person Dave Pirner by the way.
Great song! I remember there was a time I wasn't that fond of this this song. Like most good songs maybe it was just overplayed. But I couldn't agree more with some of you..it really brings you back to the 90s. When things just kinda sucked...opposed to nightmare we live in now. Its a beautiful thing to have songs like this to remind me of better times!
I'm sucker for some relatable song lyrics. If you like Rocky grunge type, check out a band called Smile Empty Soul. Lots of songs have great lyrics that hold true. Let me know what ya think if ya do!
@@kristiemackie6896 the early music I love the best. Like 4 albums where I like every single song. Some can sound depressing as fuck. But I just like the wordplay and the melodies and catchy tunes. Lyrics can mean something different to each person. You relate however you want to relate to them. But yeah check em out when ya can and check back
@@JDawg8733 I listened to them a little bit, and I guess they just don't peak my interests. I'm having a bad day to begin with, and tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of when my little sister Ali was killed by a drunk driver. Its going to be a tough weekend for me. Anyways, hope you can have a better weekend than me.
@@kristiemackie6896 awww...yeah I get it. Their songs are a little depressing at times. That's not why I like em really. Other reasons. And I'm sorry. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my 39 yr old brother few months back unexpectedly from heart failure. Out of nowhere! So I can imagine a little how your feeling. I'm sure you got people to talk to but as a person that cares about others don't hesitate to reach out to a stranger to talk. Ya never know what kind of people you'll run into
I got today a scooter Test. And I always was thinking of this song, because it was playing in the radio before. And I passed it! Love this Song forever!
bought a ticket for a run away train like mad man laughing at the rain little out of touch little INSANE just easier then dealing with the pain. Run way train. but aways seems same . love this song so much .
So much of my life is depicted in this song.I ran away at an early age.Now I'm an adult with children of my own,and my goal is to raise them in such a way that they are never in an environment where running away is a brighter option than being with family.
Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train Everything is cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train never comin' back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here nor there Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same
Uno de los cantantes mas bellos de esos tiempos con esta canciòn cuantas veces e llorado a mo esta canciòn runaway train the Best su musica es Bestial dave eres jodidamente hermoso ❤
Si, es bellísimo!!! Esta canción y misery las escuchaba mucho en las radios aquí en Lima y hace poco en uno de mis ataques de nostalgia las he redescubierto y he acabado enamorada de Dave!!!😍😍
Efectivamente 😍☝️ es un hombre guapísimo con rasgos muy finos y una voz espectacular que pocos tienen y lo mejor es que no cualquiera interpreta en vivo tan bien como él 👏👏👌👌👌👌
this song, sang by a twenty-three years old punk...was just awesome. Never heard him singing before, and never thought he could sing like that. Was the best Cover of this song i've ever heard...
@@GTonton79 I didn't see the video until many years later. I first heard this song on the radio at five years old. Even at that age I knew good music when I heard It.
I hear you... I was 4 when it came out. Grew up listening to it over and over and for some reasons I can't recall I stopped the listening. I started to listen to it again a year ago and it felt so great. Beautiful, melancholic song
This song always brings a tear to my eye, it was the favourite song of my mate and he died very young in tragic circumstances. This song was played at his funeral. Thanks for the post.!
I just miss staying up till like 4am when I was like 13 just watching headbangers ball, Alt nation, shit like that, this song just reminds me of better times.
once in my life i did ride on this runaway train... fucked busted everythin was so dark. now i met a man who saved me from this runaway train.thank god my life is so wonderful now
One in a million song..........brings me back to that very day when it broke on MTV and my girlfriend at the time......such a sad song......brilliant .........
One of the magnificient song we ever get to listen nowadays . Could any body tell me about the current situation of this band . Waitin to hear from any body . Soul Ayslum ROCKS..
"Bought a ticket for a runaway train, think it's going to burger king, I'll get a whopper and a side of large fries, it tastes like tears cos I can't stop cryin'" Actually I love this song.
Gosh! This song was so BIG in it's day. I think he was dating Winona Ryder at the time when he was so famous. I got his CD. There are other songs on it, that are also WAY cool! I will always love this song and love this band. Beautiful!!
Thanks for posting. This song brings back many memories. Memories of a much better time in America. This was back before pop music took such a downturn.
Awesome tune...has the ability to apply to almost everything in life...not just heroin addiction or misssing children....Thats the key to great tunes.....(I thought at first this was a Petty tune

One of the best songs of the 90s period
Vocal dude is like Kurt Cobain mashed with Axl Rose.
you are right!
Indeed !!!! i though i was the only one to notice :P
Kurt Cobain copied his look they were five years before nirvana
Both of them are no match to Dave.
Dave is better than either.
He is very handsome and I love his hoarse voice, 🎶 the song is Spectacular, the best 90s of my life ☝️👌😌😌

And most of those children were found after the video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
EXCELLENT live performance!
Holly s*** this song gives me ton of backflashes. What a time.
Promised myself I wouldn't weep,
One more promise I couldn't keep
Fucking powerful!!

#90's kid's

Back 90's😍
those were the days my friends... we're All older now... but in our hearts we're still lovin this... grz from Belgium
die 90ziger waren ein verrücktes musikjahrzent, mit einigen coolen bands.
Missing someone with this song😢
:(
Let's face it, civilisation reached its peak in the 90s. All down hill ever since
Great performance...
bought a ticket for a run away train like mad man laughing at the rain little out of touch little INSANE just easier then dealing with the pain. Run way train. but aways seems same . love this song so much .
little out of touch little insane, its easier then dealing with the pain. almost 30 years, masterpiece
Love the shirt
Seen a lot of live bands i must say that was impressive
This is one of them songs that will live with us until the end of time.. that's what I call greatness!
love this song forever
I went to see this show. still one of the best gig EVER for me. Gosh they were GOOD...
amaba a Soul Asylum en los 90s 😊 y todavía 💜 que gran banda!!
Extraordinariamente MAGISTRAL 😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️
So much of my life is depicted in this song.I ran away at an early age.Now I'm an adult with children of my own,and my goal is to raise them in such a way that they are never in an environment where running away is a brighter option than being with family.
so beautiful song.... i love the madness( with the good meaning:-) ) in his eyes.... he seems so real.
Had the privilege to watch soul asylum perform this song live in Niagara during july 2010. Awesome song
This song is something... I can say that it tells a story ...
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

I was five years old first time I heard this song, back when it was a hit. It takes me right back to the 90s
I was 12 and remember crying when I saw the video with all those missing children
