Runaway recorded live at the Metro Theatre in Sydney, Australia during the June 2013 Winter Tour. The song is based on that rare occurrence of deep instantaneous infatuation, which almost always turns out to be a misadventure due to ones lack of foresight and increased levels of dopamine.

[@jackiebo12]

This is the reason why I'm the person I am today... I have drive and a heart that yearns for anyone in need... I was once a party animal and was burnt out on drugs but once I heard this mans music that all changed. I'm clean and I'm about finish college and go out into the real world with real expectations for success. I don't care if anyone reads this, but it would mean a lot if you got this far.. Peace

[@julianorgoulart]

Congrats man...keep it up.

[@mariahMgreer]

Good job Jack!!! i don't know you, but I truly wish you the best in life!!!

[@heimarnation5965]

How did it work out for you, brother?

[@yalluru]

You must be fucking stupid if a musician's singing changed your life.

[@shalamahalas]

shut the fuck up man

[@alekmontgomery2080]

I think just about everybody can relate to this song. Hits hard.

Here in July 2024. Resonates once more x

[@hendrabp8234]

He's my little secret. My great escape from reality. When shit happens, I just run away

[@irenj.339]

The lyrics of your songs just come alive. The emotion you sing with... I don't listen to your songs, I feel them.

[@unshaken7196]

Who still comes back here and relives this song?

[@SaffireRoseFletcher]

Me

[@Hybridpapercut]

I wonder how a human mind can create such genius melodies.

[@Apple9288]

She speaks like the rain, But she howls at the moon. She runs like the sun in the winter, She's not coming home soon. She follows the rain, She runs like the water. She revels in all his pain, Cause she hits like her father. And when she speaks like she wants, Words dripping with disdain She tells you she loves another, But she keeps you in awe, keeps you insane.

[@depressed.743]

Can you please tell me what "cause she hits like her father" mean?

[@Apple9288]

@@depressed.743 Corby implies that the ex-partner he is describing was not only abused herself (implied to be by her father), but was also inflicting a similar level of abuse to Corby. Again whilst the image of a person who revels in their pain may be bring about feelings of sympathy and compassion- this is quickly contrasted with the reality of her repeating the cycle of abuse upon Corby. Survivors of abuse have often been well-documented to perpetuate abusive tendencies towards future relationships as a result of their struggle to cope with the pain of what they had experienced. -Copied from Genius

@@Apple9288 Thanks!

[@allisonheap8301]

[@franh.3687]

there's so many emotions in his voice

[@rainasixx9770]

Who else from 2017?! This is.... no words to explain this! I am impressed, shooked and incredibly surprised! Wow this dude this damn dude! You just feel what he is feeling! You can literally imagine what he was going through I'm glad I found I AM SOOOO GLAD I FOUND HIM especially here and now! Love from Puerto Rico!❤️

[@Moa0107]

I just feel this song in my whole body. Its like my heart screams with it

[@chubbychode1869]

Would be awesome to have a concert in Sydney where there isn't a bunch of screeching individuals; so you can treasure the feeling captured in a performance like this!

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

When Matt played smaller venues like The Metro - it was dead silent before and during each song. He held the room on a tenterhook.

[@LatifrizalBaharein]

On repeat, at work, while thinking about that someone, away from here, just sums it up really.

[@toricayla9793]

I'm crying... this is my favorite song by him. The music is so dreamlike.

[@detectivesargeantbrucerobe6046]

Bloody hell, best voice I've heard in years.

[@sleepingwhale]

the dude! hi!!! not surprised you have such good taste in music.

[@detectivesargeantbrucerobe6046]

[@xanobb123]

Man 9 years passed since the first time i heard this song and this still hits the feels exactly like the first listen. Thank you Matt for this absolutely beautiful piece of art

[@shazzawaduge8851]

I could listen to this all day...it's soo beautiful and pure thanks matt, proud to be Australian

[@LisaJOxo]

It's good. Beautiful!

[@Drrizzt2k12]

Just discovered this guy, i'm just speechless...greatest musical discovery of 2014 for me.

[@popcornbutter100]

Its beautiful because he has the presence of God in his voice. Even though this song is not about God, he got his platform from gospel music.

[@NicoAcrasia]

He isn't christian or catholic. Just because someone has a soulful voice doesn't mean they get it from gospel.

[@BlessingAMusic]

Nicholas Douglas he did grow up in the church though, so you can definitely see where those roots come from:)

[@stachiano]

I get exactly what you mean.

[@OliviaBarker55]

If Matt Corby would be so kind as to come to America, preferably Georgia, everything would be wonderful.

[@TinkTPS1]

You're not telluric. Wonderful voice, every time I listen to his songs, I feel at peace but at the same time I have a fire,the fire of eternal love.

[@jedpayten8973]

+Catinka G beautiful way to describe his music

[@TinkTPS1]

Thank you, he deserves it!

[@Aivita96]

Grigore Elena finally somebody put into words what his music makes me feel

[@qsolangedelrosario]

I'm pretty sure that heaven sounds like this.

[@LPFanGina]

He NEEDs coverage from other countries. I don't know if doesn't want to become internationally known or 'big' but ...he needs to be heard more. And celebrated more for his musical genius and heartfelt, genuinely beautiful contribution to the world of music....plus his voice, better than anything I've heard from the guys on 'The Voice' in the last few years tbh.

[@pelicanpictures27]

+LPFanGina I'm on the other side of the world, and I must say I agree. But he has fans everywhere, I'm trying my best to share his works when I could.

[@urbanpermie6307]

Actually, I have heard a voice as good as his on Australian Idol. Actually............it was his voice....

[@disc9096]

This is so much better than the 'Live On The Resolution Tour' version.

[@mynettesundblom5050]

Please come to Melbourne, to be in that atmosphere, with your voice booming over the crowd would be heaven.

[@scattashotz]

I'm sitting on the edge of a cliff weighing up whether my life is worth it or not, but listening to this on repeat somehow made everything seem ok, from the deepest depths of my heart thank you matt corby. You truly saved my life

[@Moa0107]

I hope youre still here!

[@waynebernitt2806]

I've been there and I understand. Hearing someone else's truth can make you feel less alone.

[@scattashotz]

I'm still here, and I'm so glad for it

[@violaschafer6005]

I would give everything to go on a concert of you! You can be SOOO proud of you!

[@ryanjlightful]

4:10 onwards is actually incredible.

That build up though.

[@snoopydog4024]

One of the greatest voices ever... He is famous but still underrated...This Aussie is Legendary.. He is a true artist the hovers above the rest, magical.. pure and raw..

[@Puddeeey]

So amazing. Without doubt, one of the best performing artists out there.

[@outaboutjen]

Remembering hearing this live, absolutely amazing. Definitely was one of my favourite of the night when he performed in Melbourne.

Listening to Matt sing is a spiritual experience. I could cry at how beautiful his voice is :') I'm in paradise

[@TheJaggest]

Met him outside one of his concerts recently, he unfortunately said he has a hard time singing this song anymore as it tears down his voice. Understandable though.. What. A. Song

[@thomashavea7841]

This song has changed my life.

[@DanielMackleyMusic]

Utterly mesmerising, seriously.

[@zsumbum95]

OMG!!! that was the most powerful song i've ever heard!!

The speed and timing are like an interlude, but it is over 5 minutes long. Mesmerizing until the end.

[@annecatharina5193]

What a trip...

[@cineronin]

wow !! I am blowed away and deeply moved

[@richd5059]

I can't wait to see him play tonight. I have a feeling it will be one of those concerts I never forget like the last concert thrice did before their hiatus. Music sticks to you, great music becomes a part of you. Matt is one of those few great musicians.

[@gtaiwo21]

Literally, his music, his voice, his passion, has become a mantra for me.

[@Babyaga00]

I STILL LOVE THIS SONG ONE OF MY FAVOURITE OF ALL

[@TheMissoth]

This is the kind of world that i want, powerful, wonderful & amazing as your voice.

[@Sarahlinii]

Oh Matt, you are pure magnificence... There do not exist adequate words in any human language to describe and appreciate your transcendent talent enough...

[@douglas7660]

💔 This song touches the pain of my broken heart that I've been carrying for years.

[@squizfizza]

I have watched so many versions of this song it changes slightly and evolves all the time. Cannot wait to see how the final recording sounds. Such an epic tune!

[@melissasoto1441]

Hi Matt, my friends showed this song to me and now I'm hooked. wanted to say that ur music is inspiring and this one right here sounds so heavenly, it's insanely beautiful. This song is on repeat for me. Wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your gift. God bless u and I'll be looking forward to hearing more from you. Thanks again from Maui, Hawaii.

[@caitlinhay8752]

[@DynonBand]

Ohhh... thanks Matt, for exposing yourself, your true self, the inner self. Very inspiring mate!! Would so love to sing before you one day.. but would never dare play 'after' you! How could one ever be expected to follow that!? Brilliance! Love what you do Matt Corby.. MORE!!!

One of the finest and most pure and as well the most truthful and intensive emotion ever successfully recorded in a song #brilliant #music #alternative #rock #variety

incredible. One of few artists where songs are an immediate hit with fans and non-fans alike.

[@saramagued]

I want to see him live so badly

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

I was there that night and 'f me - that shit was powerful dude. The raw music you used to make, the atmosphere you created, and the energy you projected was literally spine tingling. Those things were lost by the time you made it to the Hordern as your fans wanted something different and most didn't appreciate these things - though I'll never forget these more pure and emotional shows you did. Just wow.
