    Lyrics
    A cloud appears above your head
    A beam of light comes shining down on you,
    Shining down on you.
    The cloud is moving nearer still.
    Aurora borealis comes in view
    Aurora comes in view.
    And I ran, I ran so far away.
    I just ran, I ran all night and day.
    I couldn't get away.
    Music video by A Flock Of Seagulls performing I Ran. (c) 1982 Zomba Productions Limited

    What a time to live in the 80's...New Wave music, hanging out at the Mall, video game archades, Friday night clubs after work, going to matinee movies, VCRs, Walkmans, afordable buffet restaurants, LateNight with David Letterman and SNL in it's golden years. No division, no lockdowns just a whole lot of fun and positivity...singing "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades!"

      I was a teen back then, so no clubbing yet. But Blockbuster on the weekends, boombox, Ponderosa & Sizzler, Chuck E Cheese, watch tv shows like Airwolf, Knight Rider, A Team. Drank out of the hot garden hose. No worries about getting kidnap or anything. Scratch n sniff stickers.

I sing professionally, and I like the off-key one better than I would the fake one. :)
      besides, black guy's are ALWAYS cool! Look at the Gap Band. They play so well, no one noticed they'd look insane if they were white :) ! And being told your music/voice "sounds like a black musician" is a huge compliment.

    Hypnotize me through
    … And I ran, I ran so far away
    I just ran, I ran all night and day
    I couldn't get away
    … A cloud appears above your head
    A beam of light comes shining down on you
    Shining down on you
    The cloud is moving nearer still
    Aurora borealis comes in view
    Aurora comes in view
    … And I ran, I ran so far away

    … Reached out a hand to touch your face
    You're slowly disappearing from my view
    'Pearing from my view
    Reached out a hand to try again
    I'm floating in a beam of light with you

      Atomic Scizor will you needed to be a teenager in the 80s to really get the full package, people born in the 80s can’t really know what it was really like, I was born in 1968 , so I got some of the late 70s also. If you were born in the early 80s you would remember a lot about the last part of them , like I did in the 70s . Everyone was on the same page, very patriotic time in America 🇺🇸, that will probably never happened again

    This song reminds me so much of my mother, who unfortunately passed away 7 years ago. I remember living in California and us running after the ice cream man
    He never stopped
    I had a small radio with me and this song was playing.
    Every time it came on, my mother and I would laugh and remember running after the ice cream man.
    Brings back such good memories!
