This song and video were successful in bring 26 of these kids home. It was so successful that the band allowed a 25th anniversary cover. To be done, with more missing kids. What’s totally awesome, is this version is interactive. Meaning, the list and photos change according to your region or geographical area. Here’s the 25th anniversary version, with varied singers and musicians:

Here in Australia they showed missing pics of people/backpackers who were victims of Ivan Milat.
Holy crap i had no idea about the video changing based on where you are. Legit awesome!
@@Paul77ozeeUK version had those killed by Peter Tobin
I love you guy!❤
I know a couple guys in the Special Forces, when they got home from Iraq they dedicated their lives to finding missing children. They’re truly the good guys🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Much love and Respect🙏🏼
i guess at that point what can stop you
Wow. God bless those guys.
My cousin was a Ranger and does the same. I've worked with the same organization he does but in a different capacity. He's one of the door busters, I've done administration. It's a difficult job
@@peaknonsense2041 what is the organization?
@@peaknonsense2041you and your cousin do gods work. I wish I had such a program nearby I could work in
This song brings me to tears everytime. My best friend went missing when we were 8 years old. She walked home from school one day and vanished. I know she is an Angel watching over us now, i pray she has found peace wherever she is. Its been 27 years....... not a day goes by without her running through my mind one way or another, makes me smile when i see her adorable little face with her beautiful deep dimples and that cheeky smirk she always did. Life has never been the same since you went away. I am able to find some solace in knowing that this song is responsible for bringing countless missing children home.
One day my dearest Kim, one sweet day we will bring you home......... one day.
I'm sorry about your friend 😔....that's sad....
💔💔💔
Bruh 😭
beautiful song
This song was released in 1993, hence the 90's dates on the photos.
It's pronounced Soul A-sigh-lum. Like a mental institution ,asylum.
Somebody to Shove and Black Gold are a couple of their other songs.
My brother mixes sound for Soul Asylum. They still tour and put out new music!
Love your kids. Hug them, kiss them, make them smile every day. And be their guardian.
This song has been updated around 2019 it’s called Runaway Train 25 and though I like the original it was done with new missing children and geotracking so that when the video loads it updates with your location and shows cases near you. Totally worth a listen if you are into pop and wanted and updated version of this song.
We really - as a society - need to spend less time and energy chasing selfish pursuits, and spend more time looking out for each other. Irrespective of political affiliation, social status, religion, skin color or sexual orientation.
Except one political affiliation wants more missing people of certain types.
Or.. how about ending the trillions “War on Drugs” that in it’s entirety has not
1.) lowered the amounts of drugs or
2.) lowered the amount of deaths caused by drugs. Yet they all continuously get funding not bust low level people because the ones that matter become “informants” and they turns a blind eye and operate with impunity because of their government deal..
It’s so hard to face because we don’t talk about it . How come they don’t talk about all the missing children in the news, where are they going.?
Child trafficking!!!!!
Talk about it it,s so important.. loads of things people look away from it,s wrong
@@jennyhagemann2538 childtraffic abuse homeless it happen everyday
Pareil ici. En France.
From my understanding after this aired 21/36 either were found or made contact with their home/family.
This is perhaps the most powerful music video in history. Sadly, some of the kids featured in this video were found dead and to this day, some are still missing.
GenXer who still cries every single time I hear this song.
Me too Petunia.
Same
Same
This song has helped so many famlies to either be reunited, or just a simple phone call, saying, 'I'm alive and happy, so don't worry about me'
When I heard this song the first time, it shook me to the core. Sad, just sad.
tears each time i watch this video 😢
This song addresses various reasons kids go missing, from bad home situations they run away from, to abductions & such. We've not done enough, as a society, to support & help disenfranchised children, & it's coming home to us now. Consider the recent violence we've witnessed, often perpetrated by young people who fell through the cracks. At the end of the day, it's everyone's responsibility to act to help the kids, because it could be our own children next.
The song itself is about the severe depression Dave Pirner was suffering from l. The video was about missing children
When this video was released it featured real missing children but they varied depending on geographic region. If I remember correctly, this music video is credited for helping locate 50 or 60 missing kids. I'm sure you can find the actual number somewhere online.
OH my gosh!
I never knew that... and yes I just looked & it said of the 36 children featured in this video, 21 of them were eventually found!!!!!!! WOW :)
And not sure I'm remembering correctly, but I think the video was updated with new photos as some were found, too.
Yes photos were updated once they were found. It also sadly solved a murder two of the children shown (I'm not sure what country) were killed and buried in a backyard.
There are 4 or 5 versions of the video. 26 cases have been solved so far. Many ended in tragedy.
some where killed by a family member, or stepfather, some were victims of serial killers, and others remains were found. Some of these cases wasnt solved until 2020 and mid 2021.
so sad.
This song should be played once an hour on every radio station in the country
Dude the look on your face and in your eyes when you saw that little girl standing on the corner getting in the car with that old 💩💩💩 you looked like you wanted to pull him out of the car and beat the crap out of the guy. Your reaction was the same as alot of people who first saw this video. You guys did a awesome job on this one
one of the most important songs ever recorded ! brought attention to a problem a lot of people did`nt even know about !
I used to remember that music video coming on MTV all the time back in the '90s that s*** hits hard now because I'm a grown adult. I'll be lying if I said I wasn't bawling my eyes out
Am Subscribed
It's a Great, Real Song
It's so Real
It's SAD
Nothing more to Say
I'm semi retired and work as a porter at a family entertainment venue, can't count the times I've walked in to check a bathroom and small children are in there by themselves(as young as maybe five) these bathrooms aren't visible from the playing area, and I'm just disgusted that these children are walking around alone while their parents are drinking in many cases, and oblivious in ALL cases
I seen them live. When they did this sone they had a giant screen behind them. Showing hundreds of missing kids pictures and info. This sone really raised the awareness of missing and runaway kids.
I remember this video because it was so powerful, and the message. Of course, the lead singer vocals.
I love how they used pictures of real missing children in the video 📹 😢 😪 I've always wondered if it helped find any of them 😕
It did! 26 kids have been recovered because of this song! It was so successful that Soul Asylum gave their permission for a 25th anniversary cover, with photos of current missing kids. The best part is every country or region the song was played in had different missing kids, unique to that region.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 Thank you 😊 That's the kind of good news I needed to hear this morning 🌄
Some came home, some didn't (but they were okay), some were victims of foul play, and a few are still missing.
@@DashcamRiprock The fact that they brought some home 🏡 is the real blessing 🙌 🙏
I think this video should be played at every sporting event, concert etc. With more pictures, with the hope they will see it
This song brought home a lot of lost children.
I love this song and I love Shawn and Mel . I cried watching your reaction Mel . Dave Pirner is top notch ❤
This song actually helped find some of these missing kids pictured in this video.
Pat Benatar's "Somebody's Baby" video is along these lines. Worth a watch if you have time. That statistic of missing kids was from the late 80s. Can you imagine how bad it is now? Human trafficking is a real thing. More slaves in the world today than in anytime in human history.
This song has a special meaning to me because as a missing children advocate who have shared hundreds of missing children to social media especially to Facebook and Twitter, I also seen what a lot of these families have truly gone through, that's appreciate Soul asylum for what they are doing in helping these children find their way home and not just children but adults as well.
Some info on the final child Thomas Gibson. In 1991 his father stated he left him under the care of his 4 year old sister playing in the front yard to go for a jog. Upon returning his sister said a couple pulled up and took Thomas. In 1993 she said the father beat him and took him with him. The father was arrested for his murder and served 1 year imprisonment. Thomas body was never found. The father was in law inforcement.
What you said is so true! It’s not even safe for adults to go out alone! It’s sad really and with so much evil running around and the world it’s scary to go anywhere or do anything. But I’m not going to let evil keep me hunkered down either. But you know I have a cousin who was 52 when he went missing! It’s been 4 years and still not one lead to anything significant. He just literally vanished from his house and it will drive you crazy not knowing. Anyway great reaction. Much love to you both ✌️
One the best song in the 90s definitely. Soul Asylum rocks
Soul Oslum... I'm still laughing a day later.
Hey loveys! How you been? This video was all over MTV when I was in HS. Always made me cry, even just now.
Me too. Its a beautiful song even though the actual content isn't.
I believe this is true. This song actually had different versions featuring different missing children. More accurately, they edited in different missing children into the part of the video where they show the dates they have been missing since. Im not sure how many dif versions were released but I know it happened. I think they had some diff versions in Europe featuring kids missing over there. That is the 1 thing i have always heard about this song and video.
"You were there like a blowtorch burning, I was a key that could use a little turning".
A simple lyric with a lot of emotions.
More than half of the people shown returned home after seeing this song 😊
600,000 people go missing annually and 4,400 unidentified bodies are found every year and we can make a difference if just continue to share their faces with everyone either that on social media or in person it doesn't matter how as long as they are found safe because in the end that's what most important.
This song was released in June 1993 as the fourth single from the band's 1992 album, , and became a success around the world. It reached number five on the US Hot 100 and climbed to the top position on the Canadian Top Singles chart, earning a gold sales certification from the Recording Industry Association of America and selling 600,000 copies in the US. Outside North America, it reached number two in New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland and peaked within the top five on the charts on several other European countries. The song helped bring their album, , to a multi-platinum level and won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1994.
very interesting write-up...

I might be a bit too sensitive, but I've already seen a couple of reaction videos to this song and I cannot understand how you can watch these scenes and sway to the music, where I always have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes bc I know these things are really happening, no matter how many times I watch this video. It had a profound impact on me when it came out in the 90s and still has.

@@bloodybutunbowed291 love Lzzy but not even close for me. I'm a huge Black Crowes fan. Thanks for the intro though.
@@bloodybutunbowed291 I will check out that cover. And yes, I'm from MI. 🙂
Saddest video ever. Always makes me cry.
Update:
Thomas Gibson
He was not abducted, his father reported baby Tommy missing, dads statement was he left Tommy in the the front yard. Upon his return to the front yard, Tommy was gone. Thomas Gibson was murdered by his father in 1991 on the day he went missing.
Here in Australia they showed missing pics of people/backpackers who were victims of Ivan Milat.
Very sad to think of.
Got a couple of beautiful people,. Song brought some home
Cool Fact Because of this music video. they ended up finding Majority of these missing people!! how cool is that!?
I know guys that one makes me tear up too no matter how many times I hear it
Makes me want to work to find missing people, or at least learn how to.
Love the song, song brought 26 home
you hear the stories but seeing the faces and feeling the music is so powerful. makes you want to cry. thanks for airing this video
Brilliant song, the video is hard to watch but very important. There's so many missing children it's just heartbreaking.
I know it was a whole year ago, but, I loved this reaction.
good thing about this video is that 23 children were found after this video aired on Mtv.
This world is sad. God please come back
This song is good by listening...the video added the hurt two fold...for real
You guys are nailing all my rock songs that I grew up listening to. I love you guys!! Have a great day
1st concert I ever went to.
A really sad song but also a reminder of how many people go missing every year. Keep your loved ones close!
We have to take care of one another and look out for each other.
This has got to be the Best reaction video to this song I've seen. You guys get what we did when this song first came out. Thank You.
I think the 'another' purpose of the music video is to make viewers "think an feel as a split screen", since the song's lyrical theme is mainly different from the video's concept, which both has a separate important purpose-- to relate and aware the public about.
Just goes to show life not all peaches and roses there's evil going on and love can fix alot of this we only learn more of love god bless!.
Some of these kids, if not a lot of them, were in danger in their own homes, and we they run off to try to save themselves, people exploit and abuse them.
So sad 😢 about all the children 😭 who go missing in the world this song made me cry 😭 my prayers 🙏 out to all of the families who lost their children in Abduction and never have been found 😢 thank you Shawn and Mel for sharing this video 😢.
Soul A-SY-LUM
It's crazy, watching this as a 13 year old in 1993, I couldn't really comprehend this, but now it's very very powerful!
No child should ever feel like they need to run for their life
Your reaction is so wonderful - it makes me have faith that so many of us are kind people that we can end this sort of thing. It just breaks my heart that there are people out there who are so evil ....
100% of the times I hear this song it has me in tears. Especially since I have known several people who disappeared over the years. Not necessarily by abductions but it’s hard to know. It’s relatively common for people to disappear here in Alaska.
Because of this song & video, all of these missing were found.
check out their song "Misery", was a really big hit!
My favorite
The latest worst case, FedEx driver kidnapped 7 year old from her front yard found dead the next day or two strangled. What for? Why? Was this guy on somebody's radar?
I love your videos! You truly are a power couple! Wish you all the best! Ops.. almost forgot, keep making awesome videos! Greetings from Sweden
Nooooo....Our babies....our babies. OMHEART.🥺😭😫😩😢
There is a cover of this song where the missing(s) are updated & I've heard it's redone every few years. This song has helped find so many missing btw
It's a creepy sad bad world, we must take care of our childrens....with our own life....😢
im crying every time I listen to this song, and Im 43,,,
Great music!!!!!!!
You guys are awesome!!!!
You know what is sad. Is some of the reasons some kids runaway when they feel know one believes them.
This video returned many of these children home
The fact is that the world is a dangerous place.
If you want a song that pulls out your heart... react to Pat Benatar "Hell is for Children"... Awareness to child abuse. Listen to the lyrics closely.
pain is an emotion that is NOT unique to any country, race, religion or gender...!!!!!!! it makes ya wonder why there's so much hatred and discrimination in this country and world.... this world isn't going to become a happier place unless we all work toward that goal...!!!!!!
I can listen to *_Runaway Train,_* the song itself, easily, but I cannot watch *_Runaway Train,_* the music-video itself, without becoming very angry, almost enraged. I do not do well when watching things with child, elderly & disabled abuse from movies to TV shows.
The child kidnapping and child trafficking industry is even more huge today in 2024. Numerous kids are kidnapped in South America and Central America and trafficked mostly by foot through Mexico and then illegally across the US border. This was why, when illegal border crossers were caught in the act, the policy of separating the minors from the accompanying adults (aka KIDNAPPERS/TRAFFICKERS) to question them separately was very important. But apparently questioning the accompanying adults separately from the minors suddenly became politically incorrect. And now, the increase of trafficked minors who were stolen from their families, again represents a significant portion of the illegal undocumented border crossers.
We live in a clown world.
Save the children
Hits home for me
This is why when out and about I observe kids even with an adult, study their body language, watch how the adult handles them, etc. If I suspect something is not right, I will get close to the kid and ask, "Hey, young man, you cool, you good?" So far I have not detected anything way off or if the child gives me some kind of signal. It's a sick world out there now more than ever. We should all be vigilant especially when kids are walking home from the bus stop.
Y’all looking good in blue
Not a big fan of soul asylum, but this is one of the most important videos ever made.
This song and video are why I always look at the board at Walmart that has pictures of missing people. You never know if you might see them and could possibly help. This song resonates. Big time.
Also, you can see this one hit mel hard. ☹️
Power video and song.
This is such a great song about a very horrific situation. Some kids were found due to this video. Beware of fake Ubers & Lyfts too. Millions missing.
Thank you for your feedback Cathy
You can judge a nation by how they treat their children.
The lead vocalist said he was going through a serious depression at the time he wrote this. Mentioning he was in a downward spiral...
