about
Both Philipp and Richard are big fans of Bobby Orlando, one of the preeminent electronic dance music producers of the 80s, and Runaway is a song inspired by him and the Hi-NRG movement of that time. Runaway is about someone who has been living in a new city for a few years, which was exciting to start with, but that, after a while, and as routine set in, became increasingly uninspiring and lacking in energy. They no longer like it there and feel a strong urge to leave. Hence, the chorus line “Run away, get away, leave today“.
Philipp used a vocoder for the vocals and gave the overall song a new touch, using new drum sounds, pads and melody lines. It was originally written with a classic pop structure and Philipp applied a very open structure to the remix, which has a lot more space.
lyrics
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
I've been around here far too long
I've had enough, I can't be wrong
I've had enough, I need a change
Somewhere new, to turn a page
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
Run away, run away, get away, need to
I've been around here far too long
I've had enough, I can't be wrong
I've had enough, I need a change
Somewhere new, to turn a page
I've been around here far too long
I've had enough, I can't be wrong
I've had enough, I need a change
Somewhere new, to turn a page
