Track Description
Available in:
"Runaway" is the début single by the Irish family band The Corrs. It was released in September 1995, and had middling chart success except in Ireland and Australia, where it peaked at #10. In the UK Singles Chart, it reached #49.
The song was written by Andrea Corr. Andrea has said the first time she sang it in front of her parents, she was embarrassed because of the line "make love to me through the night". She noted that she knew her mother would be thinking "where did she learn that?!"
The song has a subtle key change. It's written in F major, but towards the end, the fourth (a B flat) gets augmented (becomes a B), so the key changes to lydian mode. Rhythmically, a similar change happens in the drums, which play a slow 6/8th at first. In the end, a snare drum is played on the 2-eh and 5-eh, which makes a double-time feel.
The video for "Runaway" (1995) is shot in Dublin, with locations such as Phoenix Park. The video is shot in black-and-white, using colour only at the end. It shows Andrea on a train, and also the rest of the band playing in a nearby forest. Near the end of the video, Andrea jumps off the train, and "runs away".
