I was listening to Spotify yesterday when my vet called to tell me my beloved soul dog has cancer. When the call ended and I was crying into my dog’s fur, this was the first song to start playing. I feel I was meant to hear it in that very moment, like my dog Henry wanted me to know how much he loves me back. I’m absolutely heartbroken, but I thank you S&R for this lovely song.
How lucky we are, to have our pets as our life companions. I lost my sweet, absolutely massive, Frankie (a boxer mix!), 5 years ago, and my somehow-even-sweeter orange tabby, Bacon, this week. He was 21 years old. I am 23. I will never understand how I was so lucky to grow up with such incredible animal personalities, but at least I know I am not alone in this loss. Thank you.
I said goodbye to my dog of 10 years on Thursday of last week. She absolutely loved to run around but her osteoarthritis got too bad and she very suddenly wasn’t able to walk anymore. Thank you so much for releasing this song at a time where I needed it so much 💜
Awww, now I'm crying. I remember dog sitting Townes backstage with my dog Olive while you were onstage at the Nelsonville Music Fest...he was just a pup then (and so were we all)
If you've ever lost a dog (or any pet really) this song hits so freakin hard. Wasn't planning to weep tonight, but happy to have found this beautiful song.
LYRICS: I was born In a meadow by a stream Original and clean No one there But my mother and my team Running in my dream Fastest you ever seen When I met you It was just like being born There was no past to mourn I lay around in this necklace I adorn Never worried 'bout a storm Every night I'm warm One word and I'm running One word and I'm Running like a colorblind lovesick fool Running like I'll die if I don't get to you Running like I've got more legs than two Running like it's something I was born to do I lay down dead every time you leave I can barely breathe I lock my eyes on the clearing in the trees Till you return to me One word and I'm running One word and I'm Running like a colorblind lovesick fool Running like I'll die if I don't get to you Running like I've got more legs than two Running like it's something that I just have to do Running like I only got a little more light Running like you your love is gonna save my life Running like I think I'm gonna run all night Running running Running running running running running
We lost our two dogs within a month earlier this year... I'm sitting here listening to this song staring at three collars in picture frames... Thank you for putting this into words.
Can’t watch/listen to this without sobbing. We had to say goodbye to our precious Bubba last September, after nearly 17 years together, and we will never be the same without him. Dogs have such sweet souls. Unconditional love.
thanks for writing a lovesong for townes, he don't have those opposable thumbs yall are famous for!! and thanks for making me cry again. birmingham got me cryin back in 2016, this got me bawlin in 2024. love you guys!
I lost my sweet seniors, Bea, Rue and Banjo, one by one, 3 years in a row. Without a best friend by my side, I've had this on repeat. It's giving me hope that one day, maybe I'll open my heart again to the greatest love I've ever known. Thank you and sweet Townes ♡
This is it, the last song. This is the end of beauty. There is no love greater than that which is in this video or the pain and ecstacy in their dog's cries. One wooorrrrrrrrrrrd.... And humankind is broken. Quietly into that dark night...
I just love these guys! A terrific dog song, and the chorus of howls was the perfect outro! Saw them live in Fayetteville, AR and highly recommend you doing the same, if given the opportunity.
Just lost my girl a month ago. My adult kids would laugh because I would baby talk to her which I never did even when my boys were young. She would greet me with the full body wag every time I came home. She was brought to my wife and I as a foster, surrendered by a breeder. I said that we woild keep her as soon as I met her. She loved everyone and all her pet brothers and sisters. I have never had a bad dog but she was just special. She had spent her entire life in a kennel having puppies. Her time with us was spent sleeping on the couch and being spoiled. I miss her every day.
I scratch my boy with the "rake" too! (A.k.a. back scratcher) I'm sure I'm not the only one, but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone else do it😊 Anything with a dog will pretty much melt me to tears instantly, and this was no exception. Beautiful song! The lyrics, music, and your voices blend together juuuuust right! Hurrying now to check out the rest of your music❤
How can you sing this without breaking down? I'm ugly crying just repeating the lyrics. "Runnin like I'll die if I don't get to you" How can you even translate that to music without your heart itself dying? You broke me.
I lost my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Brutus to Cancer in November. I miss him everyday. I miss howling with him during a full moon. We watched television together. He loved GOT, Andy Griffith, AFV, The X-Files. He loved to watch people dance on tv. He was so smart & goofy. 💜🐶💔

God bless
We see you, hear you, and appreciate you. We've been in similar moments and feel grateful the song can comfort anyone for even one moment...- el jefe
Running like your love is gonna save my life... Best dog song ever. 😢
Amazing song, we don’t deserve dogs or Shovels & Rope, but I will take my blessings happily
Our Sweets is almost 21 and she’s not doing well. This just popped up and here I’m balling my eyes out. Cherish your pets. 🙏💫🐾
I just lost my dog to Cancer on Friday and this was so heartfelt and made me cry. Love you Ruby 💚
Bless you!!!
Glad you had her and glad she had you!
Might just be my favorite song ever. I'm hugging my pup and crying.

Well, that made me sob my eyes out. We don’t deserve dogs 😭
Dog is family. Wonderful how the pics span from pup to adult dog, and then with the family. No love like a dog's love and loyalty.
I said goodbye to my dog of 10 years on Thursday of last week. She absolutely loved to run around but her osteoarthritis got too bad and she very suddenly wasn’t able to walk anymore. Thank you so much for releasing this song at a time where I needed it so much 💜
no, thank YOU for listening and taking it to heart! glad it found a place with you - el jefe
Thank you writing this beautiful song ❤I feel like I’ll be running to my lost little loves the rest of my life now 💐

LYRICS:
I was born
In a meadow by a stream
Original and clean
No one there
But my mother and my team
Running in my dream
Fastest you ever seen
When I met you
It was just like being born
There was no past to mourn
I lay around in this necklace I adorn
Never worried 'bout a storm
Every night I'm warm
One word and I'm running
One word and I'm
Running like a colorblind lovesick fool
Running like I'll die if I don't get to you
Running like I've got more legs than two
Running like it's something I was born to do
I lay down dead every time you leave
I can barely breathe
I lock my eyes on the clearing in the trees
Till you return to me
One word and I'm running
One word and I'm
Running like a colorblind lovesick fool
Running like I'll die if I don't get to you
Running like I've got more legs than two
Running like it's something that I just have to do
Running like I only got a little more light
Running like you your love is gonna save my life
Running like I think I'm gonna run all night
Running running
Running running running running running
❤ very well wrote &sung
Beautiful

We lost our two dogs within a month earlier this year... I'm sitting here listening to this song staring at three collars in picture frames... Thank you for putting this into words.
❤
I knew this was going to break my heart.
This made me weepy. What a beautiful song. I miss my soul doggies. Glad I found another rescue who is fast becoming soul doggie #3. I feel very lucky.
If there are no dogs in heaven, I don't want to go.
And cats💫
Okay this WRECKED me
Never heard of this band until this song popped up on spotify - I'll excited to listen to the rest of your music now...this song is so bittersweet
You are in for a ride of awesome music!
@@klaustin3470agree ✊🏽✌🏽
My introduction was Devil is all Around and it’s still a favorite!
Prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster, they’re it
I’m so happy for you! You’re going to love them.
Bawling 😢. Such a sweet song, hits extra hard since I rescued my Roadie!❤🎶
This is beautiful. Thank you for creating such a powerful illustration of how these amazing beings enrich our lives.
Awesome song, pics, video. At this moment my hardened heart is filled with LOVE.
TY comment section for the warning 💔
There should be more songs from the dog's point of view. I hope you've started a trend!
Can’t watch/listen to this without sobbing. We had to say goodbye to our precious Bubba last September, after nearly 17 years together, and we will never be the same without him. Dogs have such sweet souls. Unconditional love.

Thanks, now you made me cry........... Great song!

Wow! First time listener & just wow, thank you, Peace
Oh how I love this, I cannot tell in words
This is it, the last song. This is the end of beauty. There is no love greater than that which is in this video or the pain and ecstacy in their dog's cries. One wooorrrrrrrrrrrd....
And humankind is broken.
Quietly into that dark night...
I just love these guys! A terrific dog song, and the chorus of howls was the perfect outro! Saw them live in Fayetteville, AR and highly recommend you doing the same, if given the opportunity.
Just beautiful ❤️
Townes!!!

She would greet me with the full body wag every time I came home. She was brought to my wife and I as a foster, surrendered by a breeder. I said that we woild keep her as soon as I met her. She loved everyone and all her pet brothers and sisters. I have never had a bad dog but she was just special. She had spent her entire life in a kennel having puppies. Her time with us was spent sleeping on the couch and being spoiled. I miss her every day.
❤❤❤
love and dogs and im here for it. good work
I'm also now crying at work after watching that!\
Miss you guys, Come back to New England!
I scratch my boy with the "rake" too! (A.k.a. back scratcher) I'm sure I'm not the only one, but this is the first time I've ever seen anyone else do it😊
Anything with a dog will pretty much melt me to tears instantly, and this was no exception. Beautiful song! The lyrics, music, and your voices blend together juuuuust right! Hurrying now to check out the rest of your music❤
I love this so much!
What a good dog!!!
How can you sing this without breaking down? I'm ugly crying just repeating the lyrics. "Runnin like I'll die if I don't get to you"
How can you even translate that to music without your heart itself dying?
You broke me.
Ugh. The tears. The tears. 😢
Not me balling into my 2 year old dogs fur demanding she never leaves me.
I lost my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Brutus to Cancer in November. I miss him everyday. I miss howling with him during a full moon. We watched television together. He loved GOT, Andy Griffith, AFV, The X-Files. He loved to watch people dance on tv. He was so smart & goofy. 💜🐶💔
I luv you guys your music and your style❤
Nice ❤
Just LOVE it! (FYI typo in the lyrics, third to last line).
Knew I liked ya, now I love ya.
such a tune! need to do another uk tour!
Bless UP❣️
I heard you sing this at The Ryman last year. Earlier that same day, FB displayed an anniversary photo of Olive, my soul dog. It was perfect 💗
This is the real shit. Running in my dreams...
Drunk driving kills. Will YOU be next? Stay safe. Stay sober out there.
Outstanding.
Amazing song
❤
Why you gotta make me cry 😢
Thanks for ripping out my heart. I didn't need it anyway. :(
My girl is 12 and I know I don’t have much longer. Gonna make the most of it
😍😭❤
Thank you Leanne....
Dangit! Dangit! Had to say goodbye to Maggie Mae 2 days ago. I would find this today. Dangit!
I miss you oreo
Beautiful 🥺
using a torture prong collar on a dog is animal torture especially keeping it on this long. everything about this is WRONG 😢
Not only is this song RIGHT as rain, it's also prong-free.
❤️
