I ran from myself until I was 45....this song is on point for me and anyone else that had a hard time finding themselves. God bless the troubled wanderer...may they find peace soon.
Something to remember: Love yourself first, accept yourself for who you are because there will always be people hating you and you shouldn't ever join them
A good friend of the family was just selling a 4 wheeler in Albany, GA. He got shot in the face 7 times for his efforts. They dumped the stolen cargo a block and a half away. Yeah, I feel that way.
;For sure. When I saw the video for this I got the message loud and clear. It's so sad out there what with the Tranq and Fenyl whatever it's called.........
Stoyan Dimitrov well the folks that talk smack are usually the ones that like the backdoor boys and Justin Timberfake and they most likely shake to Justin shit talkin beeber now. but you indeed are not alone my friend this is a great song indeed.
I lost my brother to a very, very tragic suicide 35 days ago. We were basically twins, brother doesn't seem like a good enough word to describe our bond. This was our favorite song. Now, the lyrics cut even deeper. I love you and miss you so much Paulie 💔😭
Can't image the pain him Now yoI going throught...please pray So i don't do the same to myself...hold On there..i know heaven is for real Si i trust un the promise writren in the biok of life. . Neither death nor life Will tear yOu Up from God's hands
Sending ♥ to all the hurt and broken souls out there. One day, one moment at a time. Your life is precious. Don't let others darken the light that is within you. Shine with all your might. “It’s worth it to stay alive. Because life is hard in the moment, it’s hard to see what can be down the road. You get tunnel vision and think that the current moment is all you have left. But that’s not it. There can be more. Much more. Please stay alive. 🙏” ― Josh Dun, Twenty-One Pilots
Thank You for Your Awesome words of kindness. Truly valued and Forever appreciated. Admireable Respect and regards to You. Kind and best wishes. Gray. Bridgwater Somerset 👌🇬🇧👍
This time one year ago I listened to this song all the time, I was an addict, depressed, suicidal, in an abusive relationship, and lost. By some miracle God brought me to a Mission Teens center and my entire life has turned around. Restored my kids to me, my family,I haven't struggled with addiction or depression since I left! There IS hope you just have to cry for help and open up your heart to Him! God is just waiting for you to ask him and He WANTS to help❤ Miracles do happen
If you are listening to this song with sadness and despair, just know that it is a passing feeling and that life WILL get better even though you feel like it will not. No matter how far we fall, there is always, always, always something we can be grateful for and that we can hang onto.
@@reneerodriguez275 your in a war... and the enemy is all your fears and doubts, sadness and frustration of everyone you know and love telling you its not good enough... harness that energy and fight!!! Keep Your Head Down, Keep Moving Forward, and No Matter What NEVER QUIT!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sending you love thoughts and prayers❤️
Don t lie idiot!! You sta that it will go better!! Really?? Are you god to be able to read in the future!! The answer is no because for so many of my friends, family s members and myself, THINGS HAVE WORSENED! PURE MORON!!
YES! There is light at the end of the terribly dark tunnel! I was a runaway at 10, 13,15... People said I was just being difficult. Listen people, if a kid is running away, look deeper, there just may be a reason that they cannot or do not know how to express! I became a nurse when I was 36! So yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel, for most. Don't give up! Be brave, break away if you can if you are trapped. You can make it. Peace and Love and Safety to all. God bless. 🙏😁❤✌
Mary You are absolutely correct. I was never a runaway. But, I would leave my home every weekend to get away from an alcoholic Father. So, I get it. God Bless you.
Simply one the greatest songs ever written. I have never really listened to Soul Asylum before, not because they lacked in any way, but because my playlist was already huge. My boss played this song at work and from my very first listen, i knew immediately it was my new all time favorite. I had no idea at the time who i was listening to, didnt care. That was 5 years ago and i still say....one of the greatest songs ever written, no question!
My husband struggled with a heroin addiction for 35 years and it finally won in 2013, he was my soul mate and I still miss him to this day. I think this song must have been how he felt again before he died with after affects from withdrawal again. Rest in peace my beautiful kind caring man.
Got my childrens Da in 2010. The prosecutor knew there was something put in it meant to kill him and refused to take the investigation any further. His excuses ," he was not going to have his city in and uproar over bad herion." It was fetonayl. Chinas revenge because of chrisitans missionaries plaguing their nation with opium. The holy war on drugs.. I hate this givernemt and everything it stands for tearing families apart with drugs 😢
Depression is tuff. But never give up ! I've been hurt so many times. But life teaches us lessons we need to learn so we can rise above our sadness and cut toxic people out of our lives.
Deep back then. Still tear up when I hear this. Never had a happy childhood, but luckily made it out okay. At the end of every dark tunnel...there is light. 🎀 Hang in there, kid! 💗
Fue un camino difícil para tí!... Eres un guerrero valiente y Dios te ama tal cual eres. La vida nos moldea de diferentes maneras a cada uno. Al final quédate con lo bueno y desecha lo que no te edifica, lo que no te ayuda a ser buen ser humano... La recompensa está al final... Eres grande!...
Thank you Soul Asylum In one 4 minute section of my life I recalled: -A war Veteran -2 overdose victims -2 suicides Three family members They were all special to me. And this song is helping me to say Goodbye. Not everyone who is missing is dead. And not everyone who is dead is forgotten.
Thank you for saying that. I hope you don’t mind but I would like to use it. See I grew up very abused and I was a trafficked child before they had a name for it . I grew up and yes I partied here and there and sometimes go on a binge for a day or two but always or at least I thought I kept my life in check. I was seeking to forget about things that happened and so I had to always be busy. I have a daughter well 3 but my youngest that I use to sing and dance to this song. I always felt it talking about me. And as years passed my kids grew up and I had a lot of alone time and I did more drugs for a minute then went to rehab and I have stayed clean. But then See my daughter thank God is in recovery now but she started using and she used stuff I never really did but by accident because I was high and someone gave me but never did again. I thought I was going to loose her. I even had to take her daughter away. But today life looks better just like it is supposed to be. It gets darkest before the dawn. My daughter heard this come on the radio today and taped some with her phone and sent it to me. And she told me our memory’s of dancing and singing. I am happy about that but at the same time sad. Because maybe if I would have not been who I was then she would not be who she was. I am not saying I used like that because I went years without using and then do it for a while then stop. But if I would have never done once maybe she wouldn’t have.
This song means so much more than it did when it came out... knowing what's coming out. It breaks my heart, for the child and for the parents not knowing what really happened to their missing child. I pray for all. Breaks my heart . I have four adult children with children of their own...I could not imagine. 🙏 More are returned home, safely in the arms of their loved ones.
Lol, holy christ you don't seem to understand how a song works.... this song literally fills that same function as your moment of silence - they are both tributes! Why come to a song and ask for a moment of silence....... ffs do you even use your brain?

"Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughing at the rain A little out of touch a little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain" My favorite lyric
can you help me remember how to smile? make it somehow seem worth while. How on Earth did i get so jaded? meaningful lyrics. Thanks for posting Mollykityness.
You want to remember how to "SMILE", So back in the day when I was in my "PRIME" (around 17) before I got so "JADED", I was in Cookeville With friends, Cops roll up tell us to "Clear the Parking lot", Out of the Blue, This Pregnant Runaway Jumps freely into my Truck yelling "Go, Go , Go before we get into trouble" Now I had a "Show" truck back then and my Club Affiliation was Cookeville, TN "Catching Eyes", Now some 20 years later, well in 2012 after getting my hair cut at Smart Style, a Beautiful, Young Smart Amanda Jade Denton gave me a card and a "You don't comeback for me I am your Loss" , So for July 2013 BadaBing! Mini Truckin O.G Throwback article fans "The paint so clean you can count your freckles", was as for the as Truck Trends put it The 2015 "Return of a Legend Slammin' & Jammin'" was just 2BrewDent4U due to in 2014 when my Ranger got totaled by a Negligent Driver, Amanda Jade Denton got this "Show" worthy Order or Protection, That "One" day will look "AWESOME" on display with my Truck "BUT" She felt my "TRUCK" shows Obsession with Jade Flames (Krylon Jade Green paint so clean you can count your freckles) and Jade Wheels (They are actually Jaded Billet Specialties, Hence How I got so "JADED" OLD and Wornout) and my "Criminal" history was "CONCERNING", well that's during Rutherford Counties Extortion Scandal dateing from 2011-2017 with Rutherford Counties Sheriff Arnold stated in 2015 "It's not about the money, It's about your Debt to society" None the Less BadaBing! That's "Paint so Clean I can count my freckles in" maybe 2BrewDent4U. Oh just to keep you "Smiling" My name is Leon and Just for Jade Denton, there is also a Band "Kings of Leon" with "Use Somebody".....Just saying Help me remember how to smile, and How did I get so "JADED", Life Stories full of Mysteries isn't it.
So im 56 yrs old heard this song many times . I just got home from a concert with these guys . They opened for the Violent Femmes in SLC . Anyways the song made me cry a little. I think everyone has felt like this before. Good concert thank you
At one point when I was in high school I considered running away from home because I was always fighting with my parents. Then one day while we were vacationing in Disney World, the topic of runaways somehow got brought up, and my mother was like "Why, are you planning on running away from home?" I didn't answer her, and she put her arm around me and said in an emotional voice "Don't you ever run away from home." So I didn't.
@@BettyWhite2171 I did not say I was not having fun. I just said that's what we were talking about at that time. So don't go telling me I need help when you didn't even know what I was talking about.
This song reminds me of when I was about 14 and totally lost in this world. Thought about suicide, thought about running away and I honestly think this song saved my life!
Remember this song coupled with a video of kids who ran away from home, reduced me to tears. Hope they found their way home or their way in life. Bless you all.
While at a resort in Mexico I was dared to sing a karaoke song. Rather than do some pop crap, I dedicated this song to anyone who felt misunderstood, misinterpreted or simply "missed" during that hell we call high school. At the end, there was this prolonged silence and then a standing ovation. This song hits the central core of everyone at one epoch of their lives.
Well, there is not much I can say. Just the usual. Work hard. This song. I left my homeland 25 years ago. Was homeless many times. And all the things, which come with it. Now, I o
Been there done that . So many trouble people. This song help me get through it . Thank you Soul Asylum. Now I need to return favors to the good people that help me. I try. every chance I get. You not alone out there reach out if you can. This song lets you know you are not the only one. Thanks again Soul Asylum. No shame in asking for help .
Magically this song came to me after like 3 decades, never hear it on radio but today it was like a blast from the 90s that takes me back to the gud ol' days 😊
I remember it was 1996 at a concert listening to him sing the song and I was on the front row and he made intense eye contact with me for a minute and just kind of gave me a sad sort of smile while he sang the song. That was pretty cool.
It's been 18 months since I lost my husband durning the beginning of Covid. Though he didn't pass from Covid, got caught up in the mess. I didn't get to see him 2 weeks before he passed because of lockdowns. Still haunted by this. I cry Everytime I hear this song I should be getting somewhere, but somehow I'm neither here or there. I promised myself not to weep, a promise I couldn't keep. To those who are still hurting after this horrid year and a half, my heart goes out to you. ❤️
There was such a meaningful message and I cried when my mom showed me the video man how those kids were missing and how kids are missing now it’s horrible
This song expressed for me things I couldn't put into words myself It let me remember things I had buried deep down it was cathartic to get things out into the light. Thank you soul asylum.
To all you here because you're feeling down, Don't give up hope! No matter how dark things seem to get , there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. :) People love you, so love them back and love life.
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band that formed in 1981, and officially in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1983.[1] The band originally formed in 1981 under the name Loud Fast Rules
This song describes many people in the bondage of addiction but one thing I know is that there's hope in Jesus there's healing and restoration in His name.
What a wonderful song it's kinda sad but beautiful it helped bring a lot of our children back home for that reason alone makes it wonderful I'm going to get on this train one day and never return myself I think I deserve it I've had enough thanks for sharing your video

14 years ago, I missed the Grey Hound bus by a few minutes and was unable to runaway. Two days later, Dec 9th, I tried again and made sure I was early!, and was able to make it onto the bus. I had officially become a missing person. Brings back so many memories...
@@henrywilson5641 but as a mother I'm thinking one question: could you handle it if YOUR child ran away?(with your experience of that,and thinking of what your parents must have went through,or your grandparents)
I can go where no one else can go. I know what no one else can know. That line is so impactful and depressing. I think it's the little lines like that that really got to everyone who loves this masterpiece
This isn't just a song about runaways. This is a story of my life. I always make poor choices, poor judgments, medications that have helped me go astray, always on that runaway train, always looking to smile, always looking to find my way back.
This song isn't about runaways. At least not for the songwriter of this song. For him it was about depression. The video of this song was about runaways

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but in 1994 this song won the Grammy for best rock song. And that 21, of the 36 featured kids were very fortunately found. Airborne.

Again, the song is literally paying tribute - her statement was nothing but self-inflation
"Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch a little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain"
My favorite lyric
Yeah, it's so sad but beautiful.
Me too!
Yes🇵🇹
Linkin park-easier to run
Mine too
This song is so deep I cry every time..
I agree with Brittany this song is very deep lots of meaning
I truly hear you.this is a very deep beautiful song with a strong meaning for those that have alot going on in their lives.
Have you ever watched the actual music video .. ? You won’t be the same.
@@ablair33556 Actually I saw that before I saw this

This song understands me to the deepest level of my soul. Depression at its core is painfully explained here.
❤
Yes. The struggle goes forward away from the black dark place that consumes all who enter.
Depression is anger turned inward .....Freud
I dedicated this song to my friend Armando who had an accident in a motorcycle and he is in critical condition at the hospital 😭 pray for him please

You want to remember how to "SMILE", So back in the day when I was in my "PRIME" (around 17) before I got so "JADED", I was in Cookeville With friends, Cops roll up tell us to "Clear the Parking lot", Out of the Blue, This Pregnant Runaway Jumps freely into my Truck yelling "Go, Go , Go before we get into trouble" Now I had a "Show" truck back then and my Club Affiliation was Cookeville, TN "Catching Eyes", Now some 20 years later, well in 2012 after getting my hair cut at Smart Style, a Beautiful, Young Smart Amanda Jade Denton gave me a card and a "You don't comeback for me I am your Loss" , So for July 2013 BadaBing! Mini Truckin O.G Throwback article fans "The paint so clean you can count your freckles", was as for the as Truck Trends put it The 2015 "Return of a Legend Slammin' & Jammin'" was just 2BrewDent4U due to in 2014 when my Ranger got totaled by a Negligent Driver, Amanda Jade Denton got this "Show" worthy Order or Protection, That "One" day will look "AWESOME" on display with my Truck "BUT" She felt my "TRUCK" shows Obsession with Jade Flames (Krylon Jade Green paint so clean you can count your freckles) and Jade Wheels (They are actually Jaded Billet Specialties, Hence How I got so "JADED" OLD and Wornout) and my "Criminal" history was "CONCERNING", well that's during Rutherford Counties Extortion Scandal dateing from 2011-2017 with Rutherford Counties Sheriff Arnold stated in 2015 "It's not about the money, It's about your Debt to society" None the Less BadaBing! That's "Paint so Clean I can count my freckles in" maybe 2BrewDent4U. Oh just to keep you "Smiling" My name is Leon and Just for Jade Denton, there is also a Band "Kings of Leon" with "Use Somebody".....Just saying Help me remember how to smile, and How did I get so "JADED", Life Stories full of Mysteries isn't it.
So im 56 yrs old heard this song many times . I just got home from a concert with these guys . They opened for the Violent Femmes in SLC . Anyways the song made me cry a little. I think everyone has felt like this before. Good concert thank you
At one point when I was in high school I considered running away from home because I was always fighting with my parents. Then one day while we were vacationing in Disney World, the topic of runaways somehow got brought up, and my mother was like "Why, are you planning on running away from home?"
I didn't answer her, and she put her arm around me and said in an emotional voice "Don't you ever run away from home."
So I didn't.
Stay strong dear, stay strong. Your parents sound like very nice people.
@@arthurscacophony967 They are. I'm so glad I didn't run.
There's something wrong with a person if you can't have fun in Disney. You need help.
@@BettyWhite2171 I did not say I was not having fun. I just said that's what we were talking about at that time. So don't go telling me I need help when you didn't even know what I was talking about.
@@mynameissarah5117 We all need help, one way or another 🙂.
I’m still here listening on Christmas Day. When it’s just you n world.
This song reminds me of when I was about 14 and totally lost in this world. Thought about suicide, thought about running away and I honestly think this song saved my life!
Boomer
Wish i knew of this song when i was feeling the same!
Same, except I was 9-11 :P
*WAIT-*
@@justmelon3323 you disgust me
I remember that
It never gets old! Thanks Candace Pratt....a smallish Sister 💜. Always love you!
Still listening 2024
And still crying
Remember this song coupled with a video of kids who ran away from home, reduced me to tears. Hope they found their way home or their way in life. Bless you all.
wel according to a lot of comments on that video 26 of them where indeed found alough they found 1 of them killed sadly:(
Screw you.
@@hllyenaylleth9576 Well what an intelligent reply, you're obviously very special.
@@stevepalmer2389 just call those people out for what they are assholes
@@stevepalmer2389 You are right, thank you.
While at a resort in Mexico I was dared to sing a karaoke song. Rather than do some pop crap, I dedicated this song to anyone who felt misunderstood, misinterpreted or simply "missed" during that hell we call high school. At the end, there was this prolonged silence and then a standing ovation. This song hits the central core of everyone at one epoch of their lives.
That's beautiful :)
I could see that
And then everyone clapped.
WHAT A SERIOUS ACTIVITY. 🚞🚉🚈🚇 RUNAWAY TRAIN. 👸🤴👰🤵 QUEEN ISABELLA
I can feel your souls through these comments, can feel the tingle when you read the stories
TO ME THIS SONG MAKES ME THINK HOW LUCKY I AM TO HAVE MET MY FRIEND LOVER AND WIFE OF 30 YEARS SHE CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE THANK YOU TERESA DARLENE

If I had a dollar every time I cried singing this while drunk, I wouldn't have to work anymore.
You would be better of, thinking about it. Sober. Perhaps you find a job satisfying your needs. And make you feel good.
Holger H I would have to be *drunk*, and *singing*, while *crying*, over ten times a day to make a living wage.
I was joking!
Well, there is not much I can say. Just the usual. Work hard. This song. I left my homeland 25 years ago. Was homeless many times. And all the things, which come with it.
Now, I o
Own a house and some land. I run away, not going back.
Soho Joe so true
Been there done that . So many trouble people. This song help me get through it . Thank you Soul Asylum. Now I need to return favors to the good people that help me. I try. every chance I get. You not alone out there reach out if you can. This song lets you know you are not the only one. Thanks again Soul Asylum. No shame in asking for help .
Magically this song came to me after like 3 decades, never hear it on radio but today it was like a blast from the 90s that takes me back to the gud ol' days 😊
“It’s just easier than dealing with the pain”
2020 still listening to dis song
Yup!
Always
24/7
frm Philippines still listening until now!👍
I just heard it today on the radio it's an amazing song
My mother died in 92 and I was almost 13. I sank into music and this was one of my therapy songs
For all those suffering from chronic pain and illness not just emotional pain and how chronic pain like fibromyalgia can jade the soul when drags on .
And trigeminal neuralgia too
I remember it was 1996 at a concert listening to him sing the song and I was on the front row and he made intense eye contact with me for a minute and just kind of gave me a sad sort of smile while he sang the song. That was pretty cool.
I love this song, my crying jag song, today has been a year since my husband passed away, so I always listen to this song, my runaway train!!!
Betty i am 20 years on since she died. You can make it i promise you this. Sending internet hugs from Denver
🙏💔💒
It's been 18 months since I lost my husband durning the beginning of Covid. Though he didn't pass from Covid, got caught up in the mess. I didn't get to see him 2 weeks before he passed because of lockdowns. Still haunted by this.
I cry Everytime I hear this song I should be getting somewhere, but somehow I'm neither here or there. I promised myself not to weep, a promise I couldn't keep.
To those who are still hurting after this horrid year and a half, my heart goes out to you. ❤️
My heart 💔 to yours
Hang in there,talk to friends and family.Yep,one of the worst years that I can remember too.
"Somehow i just don't believe it"
I love this song.
There was such a meaningful message and I cried when my mom showed me the video man how those kids were missing and how kids are missing now it’s horrible
I also showed to my kids.Kids need to know about the ugliness in this world as well as the good things. U have a great mom👌💕
No matter how old this song is, it's still fucking Amazing!!!!! The 90's had some of the best Music!!!! 💕
Lindsey Willis true
Lindsey Willis got u , good stuff , easy to play on guitar
Lindsey Willis yup
This is an amazing song! It brings me to tears every time. Love it.
Amen to that,sad though this song is. This year marks its 25th anniversary(1993-2018).
This song expressed for me things I couldn't put into words myself It let me remember things I had buried deep down it was cathartic to get things out into the light. Thank you soul asylum.
To those reading this; I know for a FACT, this World is a better place with You in it !!! 💙💙💙

Best songs I've ever heard. Never gets old!
I listened to this while I was running away as a teenager, back in the 90's. Still hits home hard
November 2019, still remember this song.
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band that formed in 1981, and officially in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1983.[1]
The band originally formed in 1981 under the name Loud Fast Rules
I never knew them by another name
peace in rest june 14 1983 my birthday not rest in peace
This song describes many people in the bondage of addiction but one thing I know is that there's hope in Jesus there's healing and restoration in His name.
I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio, I was instantly hooked
I used to sing it with my friend
sameee
Iiq
It seems no one can help me now, I'm in too deep there's no way out
Are you ok mate?
What a wonderful song it's kinda sad but beautiful it helped bring a lot of our children back home for that reason alone makes it wonderful I'm going to get on this train one day and never return myself I think I deserve it I've had enough thanks for sharing your video
To all who have been through alot my heart goes out to you and i hope things get better for you remember someone loves you peace everyone
Nostalgic ❤️ kaway sa mga batang 90's dyan 😍

This is my anthem song,getting straight from addiction, thinking about all the shite I've put my family and friends through.

14 years ago, I missed the Grey Hound bus by a few minutes and was unable to runaway. Two days later, Dec 9th, I tried again and made sure I was early!, and was able to make it onto the bus. I had officially become a missing person. Brings back so many memories...
Henry Wilson I’m glad that you’re safe.❤️
Damn I wish I would have done that
@@ritajohannessen1212 Thank you, Rita. I'm working with an author to write my experiences of being a missing person.
Good for you Henry. Sometimes we just need to get away in order to figure out why we are not fitting in.
@@henrywilson5641 but as a mother I'm thinking one question: could you handle it if YOUR child ran away?(with your experience of that,and thinking of what your parents must have went through,or your grandparents)
I can go where no one else can go. I know what no one else can know. That line is so impactful and depressing. I think it's the little lines like that that really got to everyone who loves this masterpiece
I'm Brazilian and I adore this song. It's stunning
I'm 37 and can still relate to almost every line of this song. Except for the runaway part cause we can't even really do that now.
Shera Stevens this was me to a t when i was a teenager
i am 54 and this is every teenager young and old.
You wanna run away. All you have to do is deleat your social madia accounts.
I'm 34 and same
Sure you can. Never to old to run away.
This isn't just a song about runaways. This is a story of my life. I always make poor choices, poor judgments, medications that have helped me go astray, always on that runaway train, always looking to smile, always looking to find my way back.
me too, really, trust in Jesus you will still be you, but with hope.
This song isn't about runaways. At least not for the songwriter of this song. For him it was about depression. The video of this song was about runaways
No it's about kids getting kidnapped
Hope you’re okay, sending positive vibes from Australia
Eree
Kia kaha my lovely people. my love flys to you every night on angels wings, GODSPEED. Keep your chin held high and keep soldiering on 💪🙏❤️

I heard this song on the Voice. Then after hearing it again. I remember how much I love this song. Such a well written performed song.
Dave pirner the singer from soul asylum is such a talented musician and songwriter he made summet special with this
Shane is an ass hole
So much nostalgia, this song played in every radio station in my childhood.
