M. Ward - The First Time I Ran Away

[@danielharris6687]

This song reminds me of how I ran away to the southwest when I was young and in a lot of pain, and how I met people out there who showed me how to hike, climb, find water, and navigate. They taught me how to take care of myself. Now I work as a guide for challenged kids, and it's their first time running away. Mentorship is cyclical. "Last time I ran away will open this with you, let me show you where to run"

[@germanmontejo22]

When I first heard this song, I attributed it to freedom, to being away from the things that restrain you from going to places you want to go, being who you want to be, and experiencing all the things you have never experienced before. I remember playing this song the time when I moved out of my parents' house. I was riding in a van on my way to a new city to start my first job. I was excited about the whole new experiences I was about to face, the notion of living alone, and the things I was leaving behind.

[@lizzy__brock]

The first time I ran away I saw Faces in the dreams I trees Voices in the storm they say Ohhhh ohhh, water falls Ohhh ohhh The second time I ran away I saw Warriors of the train catching Tigers by the day They say Ohhhh, Ohhhh Cause when they look at you as if you were a stranger The way they talk to you as if you were in child (by the waterfall) Last time I ran away i was hoping it was with you Let me show you where to run Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh, Ohhhh

[@lizzy__brock]

[@IgnatowskiLives]

M. Ward's music is incredible and it's criminal that we have to put up with Romney ads before we can hear it.

[@jacifloripa7280]

Esse clipe Faz parte da playlist de dormir do meu filho desde os 2 anos de idade. Ele está com 7 e ainda gosta

[@JSCarie1983]

the musicians in this are alt- rock royalty.

[@gthomastube]

I think its the steel guitar that sets it off.

[@1rudrakshsharma]

🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@MickVersusYou]

Sounds like a string synth, cheapest option would likely be the Korg EPS-1 or a vintage analog Casiotone (the MT-600 is my weapon of choice for ethereal synth sounds).

[@echoplexi]

sounds like my Poly 800.

[@Ottomcr]

It sounds like it's a guitar processed through a whole bunch of reverb and delay. I could be wrong though. There is certainly a steel guitar in there too.

"I saw faces in the trees... I heard voices in the storm"

[@MrJokou]

It's the llama from Port of Morrow following right behind!

[@Moviejay1]

Reminds me of Nick Drake's Bryter Layter album in all the best ways.

[@Friedegger]

I approve of the llama.

[@ShanimalsCrackers]

Is that an alpaca or a llama?

[@roos361]

Not bad... Not bad at all

[@whajtohdlsdkfn]

I didn't know the prince of saiyans cries.

[@RustCohle]

[@normsautobodychase]

[@joshuaalfonso641]

I'm still thinking why do people listen to Niki Minaj!

[@lovesex18]

Joshua Alfonso different strokes for different vocals

[@jasonmarcel4823]

Because people are slaves to the fashion of the moment, and that happens to be simpleminded basic bs music with pop stars who seem to want to be strippers more than artists these days.

[@Danny__Noble]

I get enjoyment out of both

[@rubenssful]
