This was my brother in law's favourite song, he died in a car accident on Friday afternoon. We are going to play it at his funeral. I miss you so much John.
First heard this in 2004, it really was and is an amazing song which at the time I couldn't get hold of at all due to publication of the CD not being widespread, I wrote to Rough Trade Records and asked them where I could buy the CD, a week or so later they sent me a CD, some badges of the Libertines and the music video CD, was very impressed and still have it now!
Actually Wolfman and Pete Doherty get very little from this track, the many musicians worked without pay so were all given a slice of the rights instead.
I think Wolfmann wrote it sometime in the early 90's and couldn't get it released. So Pete changed some of the lyrics and arrangements some years later and the masterpiece was ready, id give them both equal amounts of credit for this song. As without both of them it wouldn't sound like it does.
This is one of the best love song ever written... everething's said in it... Wolfman is apparently underrated as a composer ! And Pete's voice just perfectly suits the song, gorgeous !!
AvalonDreaming unfortunately Wolfman wrote or at least had a big hand in writing this song. And he sold the rights in a pub probably for drug money. Wolfman is dogshit. Pete is beautiful
@@buckbumble being dependent of a drug doesn’t make you a “dogshit” if they made this song they are both beautiful, doesn’t fucking matter who has the rights
Ex addict like Pete 8 years clean it's hard but a no wht he went thru a take my hat of to him long live Pete Doherty and me and all the ex addicts keep running away from the poison 😉😉😉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yeah mate fuck all the haters No1 knows unless you been there and don't get that even though we can be clean we will be addicts for life it's petty people looking in and just leaving throw away comments. Happy sobriety and stay good mate like to see the keyboard warrior s locked in a room doing a 80ml methadone cluck then maybe slightly different outlook on the situation lol.
@@ericdaniels6851 Fucking 80ml? Seriously? I take my hat off to you, that must've been agony. 20ml was hard for me. The next time I went down the subutex route. Still not nice, but 100% less painful than that green shit. Vile stuff.
Something about this song resonates in me. I bought the CD (I know I’m old) at the time and it is a valuable possession to me. Best wishes to all lovers ⭐️
LYRICS I'm running away with you That's all I ever do That's all we ever mean I forgive you Everything Meet me at the Railroad Bar About seven o'clock We talk til the sun goes down Watch the lovers Leaving town This is for lovers Running away This is for lovers Running away Just for today I'm running away with you From yesterday's news Let's leave it all behind Help me back to my mind I've paid the penalty You're the jailer rattling the key But the key is mine I keep a spare one every time This is for lovers Running away This is for lovers Running away Just for today This is for lovers Running away This is for lovers Running away Just for today This is for lovers Running away This is for lovers Running away Just for today This is for lovers Running away
Back in 2006 I spent 6 weeks in a rehab centre with Mr Peter Wolfe-- he was in a bad way and from what he said his old pal Mr Doherty had turned his back on him -such a sweet, sensitive and fragile guy and talented too as this song speaks volume of and is pretty much his baby with petes vocals and reinterpretation-
Credit where credit is due.. few artists know what makes you actually feel... not good or bad.. just feel - Whack some headphones on and listen to this at max.... gets me every time - hats off!
I adore this song so much. I remember when I first saw/heard the vid/tune that it made me think what a beautiful obituary it was to Pete Doherty. I was happy to know that he was fine but there's something that's so... timeless and melancholic about it, that if just seemed to sum him up completely! (-I know it sounds dreadful but at the time, many people wouldn't have been surprised if he'd gone over...)
@mark8364 me and my husband had this for our first dance at our wedding last September..best song choice ever! And I walked down the isle to Elbow "One Day Liek This"...cry every time I hear them now! Haha Congratulations on the wedding!
this is a modern classic.i'm not a massive fan of pete docherty or the libertines and i never really got into all that scene but this is a stunning,beautiful song.the music,the words,the tempo,the sentiment..its all there..a modern love song.respect
I had never heard him sing and only knew him due to the bad publicity he gets. I heard this on Radio 2 and couldn't believe it was him singing. What a gorgeous voice in this song
2010 has been gr8 for pete hes a gr8 artist mahn hes staightend him self out and evry1 still looks at him as th junky he usedy be wen they havent heard his music hess a tallented man and ppl have to open ther eyes and see that PETE DOHERTY IS A FUKIN LEGEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is on Spotify again, under Jake Fior ft Peter Doherty rather than Wolfman. This is way too good a song to not be on streaming platforms so I'm glad that somebody recognised the error of their ways. Enjoy, I know I will
i have listened to a few albums and stuff..i like bits and pieces of his.i think hes a talented guy.i forgot i wrote this comment..what a great comment from myself.i hope you 'liked' it as well..its a great song..nice one mate..good luck )
Not sure it 'proves' it..but this song will have probably changed a lot of peoples minds about him. And if it doesn't, those people have no ears, or hearts, or brains. And I think this song should be re released.
This was my brother in law's favourite song, he died in a car accident on Friday afternoon. We are going to play it at his funeral. I miss you so much John.
dafscrum1986 hope times helped heal you a bit buddy.
🤧🥺🥺🤧❤️
One of those tunes mate. Much love
He knew the taste of poetry and so he lived a full life if even brief and violent I hope you find some peace. X
Why even bring him back to this comment, guys.
We danced to this for our wedding. 15 years later you passed at the age of 36. Me and the kids will love and miss you forever 😢
My heart aches for you. I can’t imagine how that must feel. Stay strong, my friend ❤️
Sorry to hear this. I hope you find joy of the good times in this song ❤
Jaysus so sad hope your ok
this was our first dance song at our wedding too, I'm so so sorry for your loss 😢
@@angewaterford great minds x
This Music is ahead of its time.
Anyone 2024?
Yo!❤
No.
2025 🎉
What a beautiful poem about love and loss. Classic Doherty :)

Must have been my old man, he loved sending the badges
A simpler time
Good on them despite them not wanting to release it in 2002 despite Peter trying to get it out
Stunning still after ages
Although I'm a fan of all of Pete's work (Libs, Babyshambles, solo, etc.) this is still one of his best songs.
His BEST song.
@@jakelamotta2387 his best vocal , the song belongs to wolfman
@@mikpat9970 Still his best song.
Yeah but it's a close one between this and I Am the rain Because thst song is pure poetry
Agreed xx
This song brings back old memories of a love that almost feels unreal by now..
Underrated gem.
GSmyth85: in my humble opinion, he is without doubt the best songwriter of our generation. Only man is on a par with Pete. That's Jarvis Cocker.
apparently scribbled down after a night of riotous crack smoking this song is so tender and sweet that the royalties ought to provide a solid pension.
Actually Wolfman and Pete Doherty get very little from this track, the many musicians worked without pay so were all given a slice of the rights instead.
;s got more of a heroine feel
this is one of the best songs iv herd in my life its perfect
BRING THIS SONG BACK TO SPOTIFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is back

Imy47 Pete is magic, Wolfman is a vulture
So true. Wolfman ain't got nothing to do with this. Thank you Pete!

Listened a few weeks ago and cried from nostalgia told my friend Patrick said he totally understood.
Jee, seeing Peter from that era makes me wonder if I'm straight or not. What a guy!
One of the best songs of the 00s
Beautiful.👌 Happy 40TH Birthday Peter 💙
Reminds me of times gone by, times of youth and falling in love
this song leaves me in tears
Yeh gets me everytime, beautiful song
Me too.
Just heard it for the first time. Tears confirmed.
It's pretty isn't it?
this is one of the best love songs ever. the line "meet me at the railroad bar, about seven o'clock" is simply amazing
😂
All the song is beautiful... but that bridge... my God... It's the main reason I love this song.
This is an epic track, agree, I'm not even a Doherty fan but it's just a great track, poignant and hits to the heart!
Ex addict like Pete 8 years clean it's hard but a no wht he went thru a take my hat of to him long live Pete Doherty and me and all the ex addicts keep running away from the poison 😉😉😉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
MicroMax is Clean. but you no...

“For lovers” is a really beautiful song. ❤❤
Absolute masterpiece sang by the sweetest man voice 💘
Something about this song resonates in me. I bought the CD (I know I’m old) at the time and it is a valuable possession to me. Best wishes to all lovers ⭐️
This song has always meant a lot to me, something about it that sends me elsewhere every time
Ive listened to this 100s of times...and it still gets to me ...one of the greatest love songs ever written...
Wonderful song. Love Pete’s voice here
LYRICS
I'm running away with you
That's all I ever do
That's all we ever mean
I forgive you
Everything
Meet me at the Railroad Bar
About seven o'clock
We talk til the sun goes down
Watch the lovers
Leaving town
This is for lovers
Running away
This is for lovers
Running away
Just for today
I'm running away with you
From yesterday's news
Let's leave it all behind
Help me back to my mind
I've paid the penalty
You're the jailer rattling the key
But the key is mine
I keep a spare one every time
This is for lovers
Running away
This is for lovers
Running away
Just for today
This is for lovers
Running away
This is for lovers
Running away
Just for today
This is for lovers
Running away
This is for lovers
Running away
Just for today
This is for lovers
Running away
Good👍👍👍
this song is perfection. so lovely x
World needs more for this.
I havent heard this song since my youth. Was on the radio today in memory of HRH Elizabeth II. I still remember all the words to it, beautiful song.
Great simplicity in the lyric but so mystical. Love the arrangement and the guitar parts. Beautiful without resorting to sentimentality.
What a beautiful song..one of the tracks of my years . Definitely 👌

This will be forever be my most
favorit song ever.
What a beautiful song and film. Love it since years. ❤❤
I will always love this song. Take me back to those days, running around Paris aged 20 thinking I knew it all 🖤
Tireless song, misunderstood genius is Mr Doherty, listen without judgement and just enjoy.
Fell in love with the simple tune

It’s under Jake Fior, not Wolfman :)
this song has me feeling some kind of way
possibly the most truely beautiful song ever... DEFINITELY the most beautiful voice ever...

This song reminds me of what I have and what I'd lose if I didn't have her in my life.

I never buy music but I bought this when it came out because it`s beautiful.

This swells my heart still, if not more

I’ve been trying to find this son for yeaaaaaaarssss so many years glad I never gave up
It's 2020 and this is still excellent. Can we get an album like this please, Pete? ... like your version of Stanley Road or something.
A 2021 upvote!
2022 weekly tunes on few drinks sing away with Pete 💚🏴
2022, this was mine and my wife’s first dance.
Next level song writing! A beauty of a song!
This reminds me of such a better time.
I had never heard him sing and only knew him due to the bad publicity he gets. I heard this on Radio 2 and couldn't believe it was him singing. What a gorgeous voice in this song
this song means alot to me.
This song is so very beautiful ! And pete is a true poet.

Gene Dredd. Wouldn't go that far
Jake Lamotta Name me a better song?
Remember when this first came out. I still have a copy somewhere
two of my favourite things rolled into one..... Pete and Paris- both amazing!!
I aint a big fan of Pete Doherty's but i gotta say...This is a TUNE!!!..Gotta a proper nice sound to it and his voice suits it aswell
This song makes me really sad and I'm not quite sure why. Brilliant tune though.
Im rattling and this song is so beautifull it makes me cry cheers peter
Poor Pete he wasn’t running away from anything he was
Running into a decade of doom
in every songs he puts somethings special
This song is on Spotify again, under Jake Fior ft Peter Doherty rather than Wolfman. This is way too good a song to not be on streaming platforms so I'm glad that somebody recognised the error of their ways. Enjoy, I know I will
The Poet of a whole generation!!!! They just say bad things cause they don't like to admit someone like him can write such amazing songs!!!
A wonderfully written song by Wolfman.
Simply wonderful song !
yeah and his voice is so soft...he's really feeling the music
i have listened to a few albums and stuff..i like bits and pieces of his.i think hes a talented guy.i forgot i wrote this comment..what a great comment from myself.i hope you 'liked' it as well..its a great song..nice one mate..good luck )
He started crying during a recent gig in which i was in attendance. I feel the emotion in this song, it sets me off.
Esta canción sonará en mi boda. Doherty es un genio.
A 10 años lo lograste? quiero saber como termino la historia...
Always, ALWAYS, Always PERFECT !!!!!!!
Selena MaCorb you know xxxx
Not sure it 'proves' it..but this song will have probably changed a lot of peoples minds about him. And if it doesn't, those people have no ears, or hearts, or brains.
And I think this song should be re released.
