Run Away: A Bluesy Rock Anthem I Wrote with Wendy Moten in Mind

There are certain voices, certain artists, that just ignite your imagination. For me, Wendy Moten is one of those artists. Her power, her soul, her raw talent – it's something truly special. And it was that inspiration that led me to write my song, "Run Away."




"Run Away" has this badass, bluesy rock vibe, the kind of energy that just takes over. It reminds me of the feeling I'd get watching Wendy perform live. I used to assist with managing elements of her shows, and being backstage, witnessing her and Garry Goin on guitar, was like watching magic unfold. That raw, untamed energy, that's what I wanted to capture in this song.





I wrote "Run Away" with Wendy's voice in mind. I could hear her delivering those powerful lines, infusing them with the soul and grit that she's known for. The song is about a love so intense, so consuming, that it makes you want to break free and just run away. It's about throwing caution to the wind and embracing the wild, untamed side of passion.


The lyrics paint a picture of a love that's both exhilarating and dangerous:

VERSE

You're my desire

You're the fuel to my fire

You're the fever pitch

I watch it burn

Only you can take me higher

Make me sing like a choir

You're the hottest and for you I yearn

You'd go into the night

Steal the stars out the sky for me

Your love for me is so taboo

I do what it takes

Not afraid to raise the stakes for you

And if I ever ever have to choose


CHORUS

I will run away

Run away for your love

I will run away

Run away for your love

I will be an outlaw an outcast

For your love

Can't be outdone, I'll outlast

For your love

Run away, run away

I'll run away for your love


VERSE

You're the most wanted

You're the blues that I'm wanting

And you know that you're the only one

There's nothing breaking our bond

Breaking out to abscond

You got me all out here all on the run

You're such a rebel

Take it to the highest levels

With every little thing you do

Got me higher than a treble

Push the pedal to the metal

If I ever have to choose


CHORUS

I will run away (with you)

Run away for your love

I will run away (with you)

Run away for your love

I will be an outlaw an outcast

For your love

Can't be outdone, I'll outlast

For your love

I'll run away, run away

I'll run away for your love

(run, run, run)


BRIDGE

You might as well ring the alarm

If you're going down I'm going down

You might as well ring the alarm

I promise you it's going down


CHORUS

I will run away

Run away for your love

I will run away

Run away for your love

I will be an outlaw an outcast

For your love

Can't be outdone, I'll outlast

For your love

I'll run away, run away

I'll run away for your love

(run, run, run)
