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!

Really gets my syrupy old blood sloshing about. The video is pretty cool to.

At first listen, it's somewhere between distracting and annoying. Too much.
 

Reminds me of Irish Dancers, I don't mind it.

Anything plays on RP. I'm just a bit disappointed that Woodkid is not aired more....

Like Boat Song!

Wow, I'm really surprised to hear this at RP. My wife discovered it recently, and - though normally not my cup of tea - I seriously like it!

I'm already sick of this tune!  It's boring and predictable....did I mention tedious?! No thanks.

This sounds like a bad sound track to a bad B grade movie.

Guy on the cover looks like one of the Gorillaz with make-up by Slipknot.

Nice though odd video.
Looks like the guys from "Where the Wild Things Are" decided to charge Metropolis.

Highly original. But it would take some getting used to. I don't know if I'm more intrigued or annoyed. It's very cinematic and impassioned. Go for it. Beats the hell out of Arcade Fire.

Go to the artist's website where he has this video and others. I recommend the video for "I Love You".

Very atmospheric and cool

One does not see Sandy Nelson brought up very often any more.  Interesting tune.

I like this more each time I hear it (but the album cover still freaks me out).

I love it!  The driving beat makes me want to dance, especially the percussion which makes me want to shimmy!

Fresh new sound.  Luv it.

Great cinematic feel. Like it.

Not sure if I like it or not.  It's definitely different.

Deliciously weird.
Posted 11 years ago by jhorton    [ Reply ]

Interesting... tempted to rate this a 10, but I am holding out for now...

one thing I don't like about this song is that it has been used as an ad for O2 in the UK...

i like the sound of this....what a wonderful world it is with great music liek this and a beautiful spring afternoon..reading

The head on the cover is a bit disturbing and I'd run too if it was chasing me.  

For the art and how the song is growing on me with the swelling strings near the end and percussion I'll give it a 6 or 7.

totally digging this. New original sound.
