Thumbnail of A Flock of Seagulls A Flock of Seagulls

I Ran (3:42)

Cover of 100 Movie Hits

From 100 Movie Hits and 126 other releases

The protagonist of this song runs. He runs both day and night. He runs so very far away. But, despite great effort, he just can’t get away. Apparently, his inability to get away is due to the mesmerizing influence of a girl with auburn hair and tawny eyes. In fact, the song is directed to this girl. Strange things happen involving beams of light and astronomical effects. Ultimately, however, he appears doomed to spend eternity with this girl.

Which doesn’t seem like a bad deal, really, what with the auburn hair, tawny eyes, and all.

    Yes it should be I Ran (So Far Away). Apparently I haven't listened to this before! Yeah right. Some seriously good tunes came out of this band though

    Not according to you Murakama. I unfortunately, in my drunken haze, have come across THREE comments you have left for A Flock of Seagulls (including this one) where you have bashed every song. Please shut the hell up.

    Different version, but still better than the shite in the charts today so who cares?

    This is not the original track for - "I Ran so far away"..... There is too much synth, and the original is crystal clear. :)
