Runaway - Jefferson Starship (1978)

"Runaway" was the second to last track on Jefferson Starship's fifth album, Earth, which was released in the winter of 1978. The song made it to #12 in the United States on (5/27/78). This is my 3rd equalizer vid for a track from this great album (I rate 2/3rd's of the songs at a 5!) after "Love Too Good" a couple of weeks back https://youtu.be/UcBtsmN6P6Y, "Count On Me" last week https://youtu.be/htfIPRXP8XY in addition to the one for my full-blown production ;-) for my very favorite track from the album "Show Yourself" https://youtu.be/G0t2k4VK9JQ wow...how timely this song has become, listen to it now if you've not heard it and wonder where your country went). Remastered FLAC Audio!

Not feeling too energetic for videos at the moment, so as per my usual during such times, I'm just uploading a few more of my equalizer style videos....although I have to use AE to get the effect, I don't have to worry as much about filling the video with various imagery since the equalizer and background potions can be used to fill in space....on the positive side, if you're like me, I always find it interesting to watch equalizer visualizations (if you don't have anything better to look at!)...and the audio should be pretty good as the tracks (there will be a couple/few others from the album) will be sourced from FLAC versions of the 1997 remaster of the album which Dr. Lossless tests rate as Average DR 13, Minimum DR 12 and Maximum DR 14...so this remaster was not brick-walled and the dynamic range is intact.

I'd been thinking of updating my old video for "Show Yourself" and then was recently reading a thread at the Hoffmann audio forums, where I was happy to read comments from fans who weren't ashamed to say they preferred Jefferson Starship over Jefferson Airplane....I've never been able to get into the Airplane's stuff, and I'm not a fan of the work that was produced when Jefferson Starship became just Starship.....but the middle period has some really great things and I love the Earth album in particular. Thanks for watching!

***A few words about the album copied from the description for my old video for "Show Yourself" https://youtu.be/G0t2k4VK9JQ (which I'm thinking updating at the end of the string of equalizer vids from the album)*** In a year filled with amazing albums (several of my all-time favorite albums came from 1978), Earth was one of the ones that I played the most. It remains by far my favorite thing the band ever did. I remember it being fairly savaged by the critics of the time and checking out a few today, I see that it's not fared any better since it's release and most reviews are still unfortunately pretty critical of it. From Allmusic.com..." has neither the melodies, hooks or style to make a second rewrite of Red Octopus tolerable. Earth has the form, but not the content, of Jefferson Starship's masterpiece -- it just sits there, lacking either hard rockers or sappy ballads. Arguably, it's the group's low point of the '70s." Wow....I couldn't disagree more! Loaded with great melodies, hooks and style....it ROCKS.....and it IS a masterpiece!

[Lyrics]
You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I like to put my arms around you
And we could run, run, run, runaway
Let's run, run, run, runaway
Let's run, run, run, runaway

If you knew how much I... Miss you
I miss you more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could run, run, run, runaway
Run, run, run, runaway
Let's run, run, run, runaway

Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just 'round the corner
I been sitting watchin' all the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder

Here I am... Missin' you
Ergo, I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm needin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Run, run, run, run, runaway

If you knew how much I need you
Oh and I need you like the air
If someone should take you from me
I would run, run, run, runaway...
I'd run, run, run, runaway...
Let's run, run, run, runaway

Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just 'round the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder

Here I am... Missin' you
Ergo, I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm needin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Ergo, I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Run, run, run, run, runaway...(Break)
