@@mememan3424 I think it was symbolic of a child leaving school and heading into the world of adulthood. If not, thats what I felt imo. And the ones following were maybe those who didnt make it or were family and friends who supported their child to make it!
The subversion of the idea of the monsters being the one chasing the boy, to them actually being the ones to help him along the way, is one of my favorite things ever. I keep coming back to this video to watch that moment where the first "monster" picks the boy up off the ground and carries him to keep the boy going on his path. It's SUCH an epic shot! Not to mention the other monsters arming the boy with a sword and helmet to protect himself along the way makes me kind of emotional as well. I always thought this video was about how in our lives, the things that may initially seem like obstacles or things that are holding us back, are actually the aspects of our lives that shape us and make us who we are. Those are the things that got us to where we are now, keep us pushing forward, and will remain with us wherever we want to go.
To add to this: This song was featured on an extremely popular world-wide documentary film called Kony 2012. It sparked a worldwide manhunt for Joseph Kony, and ending the practice of child soldiers. Kony was a warlord in the nation of Uganda. Uganda managed to send a team to the Little League World Series as the very first team from Africa in 2015. (I'm from Williamsport, PA. This was one of my favorite moments I've very witnessed.) When those Uganda kids took the field for the very first time (they didn't even own shoes, and played all summer long in bare feet, they were so poor!) Everyone. All 50,000 people attending that game, including the opposing side (Dominican Republic players and fans alike) were all on their feet. Lamade Stadium can be a loud place. Latin American and Caribbeam teams are typically the loudest and most rambunctious fans. When those dirt poor Uganda kids who managed to escape the worst violence in a poor and violent country, decked out in brand new clothes (and shoes!) for the first time thanks to worldwide donations.....that entire place was ROCKIN'! The only thing missing, would have been if this song was playing over the loud speakers at the time. Also, there is a movie with the same name; Run Boy Run; about a Jewish boy who managed to escape a Nazi concentration camp and hid out for 3 years in Poland. S0 yeah. This video is POWERFUL!
I once read that the lead singer said that he wants everyone who listens to his music to feel like a hero. This song perfectly encapsulates that feeling for me. It makes me feel like I could run through hell itself without getting burned!
Can we talk about how beautifully intense it is during the middle? Seems like he's scared and running from something menacing, then when he falls monsters come out and snatch him up and we see they're actually his friends helping him up and he puts on this face of a leader.
I love it. Always a fan of twisting the stereotypical “bad guy” characters into friendly allies. They’re scary beasts but they’re on his side! And I always get goosebumps when the giants burst out of the ground. 🤩 So cool.
Personally this song makes me want to run through the woods and collect stuff, I feel like sometimes I imagine myself as an animal running from humans, but overall this song is amazing and is truly magical and just makes we want to explore the woods
@@johnnyjoestar1909 I Like these type of statements because i think they're weird and i would never Understand them unless i lived your exact life. Thats why i try to Know People No matter how my impression of them are.
This song holds a personal meaning to me. The lyrics talk about how you're in a bad situation, a situation you're trapped in and desperately trying to escape, and that your only option is to keep running. One day you'll get out, one day you'll breathe fresh air without fear, and you'll leave whatever's chasing you behind. But for now, you just run. For now, you just have to survive. As someone who has experienced trauma, this song hits hard in that perspective. You'll make it, for now all you have to do is survive.
@@kpaxian6044 makes sense. I thought it was his demons that he learnt to speak to and to work with, and once you learn this you get your sword and shield, and you're ready to take on this huge world as a strong and amped up leader of your own life.
The melody was stuck in my head for weeks and it was driving me mad, and here I am, after a random short finding this song. The relief is amazing from finally finding the song
This song is so motivational to me. When I'm sitting at my desk, 5 textbooks deep into revision and it seems like it will never be over, this song is there to save me. "For now, it's time to run", meaning it will end soon, and it'll be worth it, but for now, you have to work. I love it.
Yes that is a big theme of it, woodkid himself said it was about the transition from "soft childhood" to "hardened adulthood" and a metaphorical view of his journey to the city to find other gay people like himself
That song was my anthem during hard years after escaping abusive and exploitive family. Sometimes running is, in fact, a victory. Thank you so much for inspiring me and many others to free themselves, Woodkid. Your music is a blessing for aching souls.
I listen to this song 10 years ago and didn't really pay attention. Now I'm 32 and I've experienced a lot of heartache and understanding how important it is to get your life together to not be held down by the shackles of society and modern life. We are not made for this world. This song is so deep, I don't think most people realize how deep it is
@@ajharwoods1974 thanks for the compliment, even though it is not directed at me I still wanna thank you. Women don't give compliments to men anymore and a guy is lucky to experience one compliment every 10 years Women need to love their men more
I was 21 when I first saw this video and it somehow motivated me through college. I'm 31 with a wife and kid and it still motivates me to this day. The power of music and art 💪🏼
It's a damn crime that this video did not win a Grammy. It's beautifully shot and can have more than one interpretation. I always saw this video as the boy trying to run to a better place, and the beasts that you at first think are there to harm him actually help the kid. They seem to show that help from others will come from the most unexpected group of people.
“Tomorrow is another day, And you won’t have to hide away, You’ll be a man, boy But for now it’s time to run It’s time to run.” Genuinely one of the best quotes in a song, makes us stronger each time this song plays
The boy raises his sword, challenging the world ahead, and with his friends behind, they are now ready to charge into whatever waiting before them. Gosh this is so epic my eyes teared up a little bit!
I've listened to this song and watched this video multiple times for around nine years now. No matter how many times I watch it, the section of the video (combined with the music) from 2:32 will always give me goosebumps. The music, the cinematography, the way the monsters are helping the boy reach his destination, the ships in the air. Absolutely incredible.

@@nullbeyondo It’s crazy to think there are kids on the internet that play cringe like Fortnite and we’re born after this song came out. I was born in 2006 and I will admit that I didn’t know about this song back then because I was like 5. But still.
as a teenager who thinks I am very deep and can interpret many song meanings I have decided that the only meaning to this song is there a boy, and he has to run.
the way that I interpreted the video is that every day is a new battle and a new beast that you have to deal with. Some will be worse than others , but you never give up. No matter what. At the end he even looks like he’s having the time of his life.
Still loving this 2023. One of the most powerful music videos ever made. Whether it's computerized or not, the symbolism is astounding. I wish every kid would see this at least once in their lifetime.
I agree, this video is a godsend to not only the current generation, but the next one as well. They may not be accepted for who they are, yet, but they can still be themselves in the 'woods' surrounded by people who do. And hopefully, they'll build a loving community that may even overshadow those that reject their notions. Godspeed, 2023 commenter. Hope that life's treating you well!
Back when I was in highschool marching band our drum line would practice to this song a lot. We played it at the senior homecoming dance and everybody thought it was the coolest shit ever. I wish I had a smartphone back then so I could've recorded it.
Most of the comments here are memes, but can we take a second to appreciate how incredible this song is? The way it builds up tension, the way it inspires and empowers you, and the way it can do all of that while still being one of the few songs that actually makes me jam out so hard that I’m sore afterwards. Bravo woodkid, you have somehow managed to literally make me feel more immersed in this song than I have been in any other media.
The ending/epilogue of this is song is especially emotional. It gives this emotion of freedom, relief, and pure joy. Maybe I’m looking to much into it, but this has been my favorite song ever since I first found it on Spotify back in 2015
Ce son me rappelle les anciens edit tiktok "Si j'étais selon..." et maintenant dans la vidéo d'inoxtage sur son ascension d'everest. Ce son fais avoir plein d'émotions en toi c'est incroyables
My body has such a visceral reaction to this piece of art. It strikes deep emotional roots and lights a fire inside me, especially when I feel completely drained and exhausted. If you’re in the depths like me right now, know that I’m rooting for you. We need to rally together. You’re not alone. Keep running. Keep swimming. We’ve got this.
This brings back memories of having the window seat in long car rides, and using my two fingers to pretend there were people running alongside the car. Jumping over the mountains, running along powerlines, rising from the ground, flipping over lakes and rivers like they're nothing. We used to travel to Denver a lot, over 300 miles, waking up at 2am to arrive while the sun was still out, or leaving school in the middle of the day, to arrive at night...
This feels beautifully nostalgic to me, because it reminds of that pure joy you felt as a kid. Just running as fast as you can. Never knowing where you’re going, just having a blast of a time.
Lyrics: Run boy run! This world is not made for you Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you Run boy run! Running is a victory Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you Run boy run! This race is a prophecy Run boy run! Break out from society Tomorrow is another day And you won’t have to hide away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run! Run boy run! This ride is a journey to Run boy run! The secret inside of you Run boy run! This race is a prophecy Run boy run! And disappear in the trees Tomorrow is another day And you won’t have to hide away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run! Tomorrow is another day And when the night fades away You’ll be a man, boy! But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Just appears to be a boy who dislikes society running away from it, finding a bunch of monster friends in the woods, and teaming up with them to wage war on a kingdom of some sort. Nature vs Society.
And if you are righteous the Earth shall not rise against you, but rise with you, all of its beast will run with you ready at your word, now go young man everything in world is your, all have to do is take it.
Run, boy, run This world is not made for you Run, boy, run They're trying to catch you Run, boy, run Running is a victory Run, boy, run Beauty lies behind the hills Run, boy, run The sun will be guiding you Run, boy, run They're dying to stop you Run, boy, run This race is a prophecy Run, boy, run Break out from society Tomorrow is another day And you won't have to hide away You'll be a man, boy ! But for now it's time to run, it's time to run Run, boy, run This ride is a journey to Run, boy, run The secret inside of you Run, boy, run This race is a prophecy Run, boy, run And disappear in the trees Tomorrow is another day And you won't have to hide away You'll be a Man, boy But for now it's time to run, It's time to run Tomorrow is another day And when the night fades away You'll be a Man, boy But for now it's time to run, It's time to run
guys I'll be honest that's one of the most life-affirming songs ever made..I always feel motivated to "get something done" or to travel somewhere when listening to this masterpiece I suffered on depression for some years and that's a song that helped me out a bit..always gives me goosebumps when listening

Mitchell Foley because I’ve never heard the singing I’ve always heard the instrumental from adverts and tv shows not the entire song so finding it is a big deal lmao
I like the irish folksy feel mixed with urgency, darkness and hope. Like the sun breaking through the clouds after a wicked storm. The effect in the background reminds me of riverdances.
This song has been out for 9 years and I'm just hearing it now? I had it on repeat in my car yesterday, and was never so thankful for having chosen the premium sound system - I made those speakers work for a living, and those drums are EPIC! Bloody brilliant song! ❤️
You don't say, friend. And Eight years later, Woodkid's back with this: ruclips.net/video/5tEfYvY3bAg/видео.html I don't know about you, but for people trusting in Jesus Christ, get ready for the fight and more important, keep your faith in God

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
Hope you feel better dude ! Take it easy ;)
ok
@@CliffuckingBoothI so desperately wish that were true for everything. 😢
I'm getting some serious "Where the Wild Thing Are" vibes off of this.
I thought that's what it was?
Let the wild rumpus start.
YESSSSSSS

Dag Bot YES! i remember reading that book as a kid I loved it!
2:20 THE NOSTALGIA OMG
Totally forgot about how good this song is! So happy I started watching The Umbrella Academy !
haha that's what just brought me here :D
The boy isn't just running.
He's also letting his imagination *run wild* by his side.

@@tripedal2063 you must be quite fun at parties.
Still loving this 2023. One of the most powerful music videos ever made. Whether it's computerized or not, the symbolism is astounding. I wish every kid would see this at least once in their lifetime.
I agree, this video is a godsend to not only the current generation, but the next one as well. They may not be accepted for who they are, yet, but they can still be themselves in the 'woods' surrounded by people who do. And hopefully, they'll build a loving community that may even overshadow those that reject their notions.
Godspeed, 2023 commenter. Hope that life's treating you well!
Its a pedo song!!! Lunatic!
TODAY, My first time listening this MASTERPIECE !
Congrats! Hope it suits your tastes--
@@STPLafou Yes , it does, this song bring me a very very good feeling !
Back when I was in highschool marching band our drum line would practice to this song a lot. We played it at the senior homecoming dance and everybody thought it was the coolest shit ever. I wish I had a smartphone back then so I could've recorded it.
That sounds awesome.
Most of the comments here are memes, but can we take a second to appreciate how incredible this song is? The way it builds up tension, the way it inspires and empowers you, and the way it can do all of that while still being one of the few songs that actually makes me jam out so hard that I’m sore afterwards. Bravo woodkid, you have somehow managed to literally make me feel more immersed in this song than I have been in any other media.
This song makes me so emotional and I don't even know what emotions, it just is. It is so powerful
Good song for Assassin's Creed, son.
@@El-oo9oj I feel the same exact way
The ending/epilogue of this is song is especially emotional. It gives this emotion of freedom, relief, and pure joy. Maybe I’m looking to much into it, but this has been my favorite song ever since I first found it on Spotify back in 2015
@@kevinflaherty1 I feel the same way, and if you are looking too much into it, I think we all are lmao

It's so great to see old songs getting popular again because of social media
I think it's mainly because of Umbrella Academy, and then grabbed from there and used elsewhere
@@hainsay for me, it was social media that made me know this beautiful music
For me it was dying light
For me it was GT Sport lol
For me was Geometry Dash Level called Woodkid
Everyone: "Umbrella Academy"
Everyone: "Dying light"
No one: "Audi commericial"
And mc donald’s commercial (we have 2’nd ronald’s mc donald hospital commercial in poland)
Go pro hero 4
Yeah that's how I actually found this song
Some guys : GD
How did I find Chickin here, I literally watch your videos
My body has such a visceral reaction to this piece of art. It strikes deep emotional roots and lights a fire inside me, especially when I feel completely drained and exhausted. If you’re in the depths like me right now, know that I’m rooting for you. We need to rally together. You’re not alone. Keep running. Keep swimming. We’ve got this.
This video be how grandparents describe their trip to school
are you from Greece? Because you describe me

How my mom described going to school when she lived in Mexico 😂
More inspirational than his last song " Walk girl walk".
I would actually be interested in hearing a song like that...🤔🤔🤔
This brings back memories of having the window seat in long car rides, and using my two fingers to pretend there were people running alongside the car. Jumping over the mountains, running along powerlines, rising from the ground, flipping over lakes and rivers like they're nothing.
We used to travel to Denver a lot, over 300 miles, waking up at 2am to arrive while the sun was still out, or leaving school in the middle of the day, to arrive at night...
I assume everyone played this game -every time they're in a car- when they were kids.
i thought i was the only one who could relate to this
what this is so specific I thought I was the only one who did this (still do) ☺️
@@ariahazelwood3842 ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
I used to imagine there was always a stick figure dude parkouring over everything.
This song should have been played in 2024 Paris olympics opening ceremony as Yoann Lemoine is an iconic french artist.
Yoann Lemoine composed original music for the ceremony and this song is regularly heard in stadiums ;)

And assassin's creed revelations
@Sam R especially zelda ocarina of time..
@Sam R yeah many games have something like that
RUN DRAGONBORN RUNNNN
I don't play Skyrim, but i got the reference anyways...
This feels beautifully nostalgic to me, because it reminds of that pure joy you felt as a kid. Just running as fast as you can. Never knowing where you’re going, just having a blast of a time.
Жаль, что это чувство осталось там и тогда 😔

I've never heard this song, but it feels so nostalgic.
It is.
*cough* *cough* dying light *cough* *cough*
That's probably because you have heard this song hundred times in TV commercials live events and others, but you haven't noticed it
It was the EFL theme song for a few years
Maybe the maze runner?
Lyrics:
Run boy run! This world is not made for you
Run boy run! They’re trying to catch you
Run boy run! Running is a victory
Run boy run! Beauty lays behind the hills
Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They’re dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Run boy run! This ride is a journey to
Run boy run! The secret inside of you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! And disappear in the trees
Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Tomorrow is another day
And when the night fades away
You’ll be a man, boy!
But for now it’s time to run, it’s time to run!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
10q!
Impressive
At 3:00 it sounds like the drums are saying "go go go"
This gives me some serious Where The Wild Things Are vibes. It’s so interesting yet so perplexing, would like to know the lore behind this.
Just appears to be a boy who dislikes society running away from it, finding a bunch of monster friends in the woods, and teaming up with them to wage war on a kingdom of some sort. Nature vs Society.
Bro definitely the same that's what it reminded me of
That gave me the feeling of that movie lol
Incredible!
The same group has a video for their song Iron, and it seems to be connected, but I couldn’t begin to tell you how.
Basically it's demons making the boy their friend while making it seem like there nice inorder for him to rise up a destroy the perfect world(heaven)
Why is no one talking about his incredible voice?
Exactly.
I love his voice
Too busy posting dumb "I came here from" comments.
Because he hasn't got one
Too busy being into the orchestra behind tbh

This is a song from season 1, episode 2,heh☔
what
Me who loved umbrella academy before season 2
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!
guys I'll be honest
that's one of the most life-affirming songs ever made..I always feel motivated to "get something done" or to travel somewhere when listening to this masterpiece
I suffered on depression for some years and that's a song that helped me out a bit..always gives me goosebumps when listening
I don’t know u but I hope u know how important u are in this vast universe. Ur limitless potential that exist in all of us is what the universe has promised us. Just a reminder friend. ❤️
That Is Beautiful!
I cannot even begin to express how beautiful that video was ❤️ took a gorgeous song and made it feel absolutely magical
Idk why but this is literally my favorite song ever. Just fills me with a sense of wonder, inspiration and energy like no other song can
moment of silence for the people still trying to find this song. I was once one of them.
oh my god, yes-
I'm one of them too XD I was searching for this song since it came out and I found it just today-
It has only like one line...how
Lady Art omg I found it only 4 days ago loool I was typing in clapping song because of the beat and that got me no where
Mitchell Foley because I’ve never heard the singing I’ve always heard the instrumental from adverts and tv shows not the entire song so finding it is a big deal lmao
@@mitchellfoley6012 but I was little child and I couldn't speak English (because I'm Polish) so I don't understood the lyric
I like the irish folksy feel mixed with urgency, darkness and hope. Like the sun breaking through the clouds after a wicked storm. The effect in the background reminds me of riverdances.
This song has been out for 9 years and I'm just hearing it now? I had it on repeat in my car yesterday, and was never so thankful for having chosen the premium sound system - I made those speakers work for a living, and those drums are EPIC! Bloody brilliant song! ❤️
Same! Heard it for the first time just yesterday 🙂
Same thing dude. How come 🤔
This song can turn a toyota to an Audi, trust me
13 Reason got me here. It's been long though
This song is extremely fitting for this year, unfortunately.
