A música "Runaway Train" do Soul Asylum foi possivelmente o videoclipe mais importante da MTV, mostrando rostos de crianças desaparecidas nos EUA e, ao ser veiculado repetidamente na emissora nos anos 90, ajudou a encontrar 21 crianças e adolescentes desaparecidas.
Evitando os clichês do Rock N Roll, o Soul Asylum escolheu passar uma mensagem com o seu clipe. A ideia surgiu do diretor do vídeo Tony Kaye que propôs apresentar rostos de crianças desaparecidas.
Foram encontradas 21 das 36 crianças que foram apresentadas. O diretor Tony afirmou que a ideia deu certo pois a canção era perfeita para isso. E para ele foi a coisa mais importante que aconteceu na história da MTV, porque salvou a vida dos jovens.

LETRA:
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything seems cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
A little out of touch, little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never goin' back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same
