Around the time this was filmed these guys did an "unplugged" show at the club were I worked. I will admit I was not yet a fan, but after meeting them and experiencing their performance I was forever converted. Very professional, kind and cooperative gentlemen to work with. They did a lot to help me connect with their generation. The way this song expresses such intimate personal emotion is extremely powerful. It's more than a song or work of art. It's humanity! I think there is a dark spot inside all of us that can relate.

How many of us can relate to these lyrics, even at 65 this song still makes me cry, few songs can touch your soul this one touches every sinew of my being

Of all of the underrated musicians among them has to be David Pirner & Dan Murphy

Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a blowtorch 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 lead 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 mysteries seem so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am, just drowning in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And 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 laughing at the rain A little out of touch, a little insane It's just easier than dealing with the pain 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 Runaway train never coming back Runaway train tearing up the track Runaway train burning in my veins I run away but it always seems the same

Fantastic performance.

Great voice i ❤️ and missed the 90's

I listen to this song every day

One best songs from the 90s

This song. Always leaves me breathless. An all time favorite.

Amazing voice

I love soul asylum

There's nothing like live music. Fn awesome live just as when I was a teenager.

I could listen to this song all day.

beautifull song for the eternity

Great voice, perfect song.

Nobody makes a song like this anymore. Only Soul Asylum can put soul to this song, recorded or live, it's the same feel😎🤔

BEST LIVE VERSION OF THIS MASTERPIECE EVER EVER RECORDED....

incredible voice, wish more artist can perform live like these good old rockstars :)

beautiful voice, beautiful song, handsome man

I love his voice, I love this song from the 90s is spectacular 🎶👌♥️♥️

What a song, what a voice and what a hair. :) This song is legendary. Well crafted as it is, pleasure to listen over and over. Simply timeless. Also, great, record-like performance. Always amazes.

Love this song it helps me when I’m depressed and want to end it;.. …

This acoustic version of runaway train by soul asylum is so touching and moving. Just want to say to the men who did this gentlemen I'm so very proud of the work that you do. I wish you all the best very best

The hair envy I have for Dave during this era is painful. Best hair in rock n' roll, ever.

This song is beautiful. Brings back random memories of times of struggle and confusion that I dont really know how I managed to hold together. Many things Ive never told anyone after 30 years, still sinking inside me, still hurting, still there.

Best live version ever!!!!!

The lines " like a firefly without a light" and " how on earth did I get so jaded, life's mystery seems so faded" sum up depression for me personally. I only really understand the meaning of this song now, and although in a way I wish I didn't i, I love it even more. Even stripped down to basics it is still perfect (and just so perfectly sad...)

A truly great live vocal performance.

Beautiful lyrics and performance. Soul asylum, write and sing more songs, please.

Damn, he was good live, absolutely ace.

Amazing

When ripped jeans didn't cost $1.400 You just had to wear them. I love this. They are so amazing!

Ray Cokes! Good memories and one of the best songs ever.

What a great performance! He was gorgeous.

this guy has enough eyelash to give a person whiplash. I love this song already, but the acoustic set made it so much better.

Raw emotion pure and simple wins every time, vastly underrated band who can sing and play unlike many of today's so called super stars.

His voice is so inviting and full of emotion. ❤ Kurt Cobain + Axl Rose= David Primer from Russia with love!!!

Brings tears to my eyes to hear my childhood so majesticly

What an amazing voice!

Takes me back when my train was blowing down the track out of control...damn, finally got clean and sober...great tune

This is real music

Hey 1993, can I come home 😢

A true masterpiece how the song should be written plus the music video that makes your life stop and watch with emotions. Surely the moment no sane person can forget for a lifetime. When it all connects. So rare these days

What a great performance! He was gorgeous. uma obra de arte.

From what I understand this is about his struggle with depression. I can identify

feelin' goosebumps

Beautiful🖤

He was so young here 😍

About to book a plane ticket to go and see their show in the US next September, this song is pure beauty across time…can’t wait❤

Amo a ese hombre ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ que voz tan linda, no sé pero para mi es una voz magistral y única............... Y todo le acompaña la pinta, el pelo, su imagen en general es bien llevada, la verdad un rockero único he irrepetible en sí un rockero auténtico como el ningún otro y bueno creo que ya le he hechado muchas flores 🥀 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 pero que hago para mí es inevitable no hacerlo es que me parece tan atractivo...............qué lo amo 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

Anos! lindos anos! Soul Asylum representa muito bem o que foi aquilo tudo!

This song reminds me of a friend! Thank you Shannon!!

Pure masterpiece

LOVE THIS SONG ,ROCK ON 🤘🖤🖤

uma obra de arte.

Love Runaway Train!!!

I feel im not getting old...

Hermosa canción,y me encanta el look del vocalista muy apropiada para la época cuando el grunge predominaba el estilo en los 90"

Be There for Someone ❤

Essa música marcou minha alma e ouvi-la hoje em dia continua a navalhar a carne

Saudades, bons tempos, minha melhor faze...

Great singer and I love hair .pretty boy

Прекрасная и сензитивная песня! Когда бывает совсем не очень - часто в такие моменты включаю именно её! С уважением, С. Л..

Superb!

Gotta Love Soul Asylum!!!!! Great lyrics and guitar work AWESOME!!!! Love you guys!!!!

Me? Every time I hear this song, I recall the first time I heard it on the fm in an old friend’s pickup. I was not long in from the road broke and run down. I wondered for a moment if it was someone who picked me hitchin cross country somewhere and heard my story driving across Utah or some such. The song hit me like a slap in the face, a punch in the gut, and an ice pick in the heart all at once. I didn’t know whether to cry or start breaking things so I just sat dumbfounded. A perfect song for the lost soul a few miles off the road. I guess it’s likely a part of what followed and why I am so safe and happy now. I am grateful for these young men with their keen insight.

Gracias hermano por publicar esta Canción .No sabía quién la Interpretaba, la escuché en la casa de eya y lo bailamos y ❤💚💛💜💕

Best version of this song that I've ever heard

Still playing on my playlist

Yes we been waiting.5.0.

Great song sung with great emotion does it get any better; ageless

This song is simple but at the same time its one of biggest achievements in popular music. Theme of this song, videoclips that helped find missing people, reasons behind their disappearances, all this is out of this world, and on top of that we have very cool expression from musicians, especially Dave who everytime sings from depth of his heart.

👍🏻Beautiful song and live... molto bravi... with double voice is beautiful... also the guitars are perfect

Isso sim é música de verdade !

2021 anyone?

These young men are SOOOOO cool!!! 👍💚

Thank you for posting this and for all of the excellent content on your channel. This was just what I was looking for.

I'm impressed by the song I only dreamed of before.

Bravo e deosebit

Wow studio quality sounds nice

David pirner 🤘🤘🎸♥️

Hermoso. Te lo dedico a ti hermanita que estás en el cielo. Te amo Leopoldina❤️👸🏼🎸🙏

This is true about missing people and this is a great song

Love Runaway Train!!! My king! Hello poland

So good 🙏

My king! Hello poland

Grunge melhor época 🤟🤟🤟

I love Runaway train, but let your dim light shine will always be one of my favorite albums

Hermosa canción,y me encantaría el look del vocalista muy apropiada para la época cuando el grunge predominaba el estilo en los 90"

90s best time🚬🍷🍺

Kurt Cobain + Axl Rose= David Primer
