How many of us can relate to these lyrics, even at 65 this song still makes me cry, few songs can touch your soul this one touches every sinew of my being
I'm 44, and I was 13 when this song came out. I have the cassette tape. CDs weren't around then. This song spoke to me at 13, and it still speaks to me at 44.
Around the time this was filmed these guys did an "unplugged" show at the club were I worked. I will admit I was not yet a fan, but after meeting them and experiencing their performance I was forever converted. Very professional, kind and cooperative gentlemen to work with. They did a lot to help me connect with their generation. The way this song expresses such intimate personal emotion is extremely powerful. It's more than a song or work of art. It's humanity! I think there is a dark spot inside all of us that can relate.
What a song, what a voice and what a hair. :) This song is legendary. Well crafted as it is, pleasure to listen over and over. Simply timeless. Also, great, record-like performance. Always amazes.
This song is beautiful. Brings back random memories of times of struggle and confusion that I dont really know how I managed to hold together. Many things Ive never told anyone after 30 years, still sinking inside me, still hurting, still there.
The lines " like a firefly without a light" and " how on earth did I get so jaded, life's mystery seems so faded" sum up depression for me personally. I only really understand the meaning of this song now, and although in a way I wish I didn't i, I love it even more. Even stripped down to basics it is still perfect (and just so perfectly sad...)
This acoustic version of runaway train by soul asylum is so touching and moving. Just want to say to the men who did this gentlemen I'm so very proud of the work that you do. I wish you all the best very best
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
A true masterpiece how the song should be written plus the music video that makes your life stop and watch with emotions. Surely the moment no sane person can forget for a lifetime. When it all connects. So rare these days
Me? Every time I hear this song, I recall the first time I heard it on the fm in an old friend’s pickup. I was not long in from the road broke and run down. I wondered for a moment if it was someone who picked me hitchin cross country somewhere and heard my story driving across Utah or some such. The song hit me like a slap in the face, a punch in the gut, and an ice pick in the heart all at once. I didn’t know whether to cry or start breaking things so I just sat dumbfounded. A perfect song for the lost soul a few miles off the road. I guess it’s likely a part of what followed and why I am so safe and happy now. I am grateful for these young men with their keen insight.
This song is simple but at the same time its one of biggest achievements in popular music. Theme of this song, videoclips that helped find missing people, reasons behind their disappearances, all this is out of this world, and on top of that we have very cool expression from musicians, especially Dave who everytime sings from depth of his heart.
Amo a ese hombre ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ que voz tan linda, no sé pero para mi es una voz magistral y única............... Y todo le acompaña la pinta, el pelo, su imagen en general es bien llevada, la verdad un rockero único he irrepetible en sí un rockero auténtico como el ningún otro y bueno creo que ya le he hechado muchas flores 🥀 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 pero que hago para mí es inevitable no hacerlo es que me parece tan atractivo...............qué lo amo 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍
@@mariebrown5211 You said " I keep it long, and hold on " that was beautiful. Even though I I don't know you, for a split second I saw you when I read that.

Im 39 and for me this has to be one of the best songs ever made, they sure dont make shit like this anymore.
I'm 44, and I was 13 when this song came out. I have the cassette tape. CDs weren't around then. This song spoke to me at 13, and it still speaks to me at 44.
Of all of the underrated musicians among them has to be David Pirner & Dan Murphy

This song. Always leaves me breathless. An all time favorite.
Yep. 😢
One best songs from the 90s
Nobody makes a song like this anymore. Only Soul Asylum can put soul to this song, recorded or live, it's the same feel😎🤔
incredible voice, wish more artist can perform live like these good old rockstars :)
Agree
Reminds me very much of Paul Westerburg
And people have the nerve to say that he can't sing anymore... 😌
There's nothing like live music.
Fn awesome live just as when I was a teenager.
I could listen to this song all day.
I literally just did that lol
Me too;)
What a song, what a voice and what a hair. :)

Great voice i ❤️ and missed the 90's
I listen to this song every day

BEST LIVE VERSION OF THIS MASTERPIECE EVER EVER RECORDED....
Amazing voice
Great voice, perfect song.
This acoustic version of runaway train by soul asylum is so touching and moving. Just want to say to the men who did this gentlemen I'm so very proud of the work that you do. I wish you all the best very best
Just saw them last night. Still amazing
Fantastic performance.
Beautiful lyrics and performance. Soul asylum, write and sing more songs, please.
His voice is so inviting and full of emotion. ❤
Kurt Cobain + Axl Rose= David Primer
from Russia with love!!!
David Anthony Pirner not Primer okie
Sorry the leaders of your country are being mean to the Ukraine. 😕
🇺🇦🇺🇸…. .. 🇷🇺
And people have the nerve to say that he can't sing anymore... 😌
@@TheEarthRealm who?
@@Jacen13 Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan also. Sorry. Oh wait¡…
The hair envy I have for Dave during this era is painful. Best hair in rock n' roll, ever.
You should check on Patti Smith in the 90s
Agreed!
Best hair in rock n roll would have to go to Ian Astbury from The Cult. That long jet black mane of Ian's was pure rock n roll in the 80's and 90's.
Raw emotion pure and simple wins every time, vastly underrated band who can sing and play unlike many of today's so called super stars.
I love his voice, I love this song from the 90s is spectacular 🎶👌♥️♥️
When ripped jeans didn't cost $1.400 You just had to wear them. I love this. They are so amazing!
beautiful voice, beautiful song, handsome man
...it's just easier than dealing with the pain....
this guy has enough eyelash to give a person whiplash. I love this song already, but the acoustic set made it so much better.
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
beautifull song for the eternity
A truly great live vocal performance.
Best version of this song that I've ever heard
This song reminds me of a friend! Thank you Shannon!!
A true masterpiece how the song should be written plus the music video that makes your life stop and watch with emotions.
Surely the moment no sane person can forget for a lifetime. When it all connects. So rare these days
You are so right..
Yea
Brings tears to my eyes to hear my childhood so majesticly
About to book a plane ticket to go and see their show in the US next September, this song is pure beauty across time…can’t wait❤
Essa música marcou minha alma e ouvi-la hoje em dia continua a navalhar a carne
What a great performance! He was gorgeous.
Takes me back when my train was blowing down the track out of control...damn, finally got clean and sober...great tune

From what I understand this is about his struggle with depression. I can identify
What a great performance! He was gorgeous.
uma obra de arte.
Gorgeous Grunge!
Ray Cokes! Good memories and one of the best songs ever.
I love soul asylum
Love when they play guitar 🎸 beside each other . Sounds so good ❤ Love this song.
Anos! lindos anos!
Soul Asylum representa muito bem o que foi aquilo tudo!
