Soul Asylum- Runaway Train

[TheVhong79]

i always love this song, it reminds of my aunt who runs away from home for almost 30yrs and came back recently only to know that my grandpa n grandma is not with us anymore (lessons earned and learned)

[emmthreejonny]

DISABLED BY REQUEST

...more like Disabled Out of Greed and Lack of Empathy.

[marcosmetal2008]

This song is fucking hypnotizing!

It makes me feel too unbelievably good!

Up Heavy Metal!

[swordsmanofhell666]

The best band to come from MINNESOTA!!!!!!!! hellyeah!!!

[Pashchendale]

awesome song pity soul asylum didn't make any other good songs like this

[buny101]

I have two boys and a similar attitude. Except, I am not going to die if something happens to them--someone else is.

[WhoisdaBob]

i was listening to the lyrics and i don't think it is about getting stolen

[byron84]

yeah how many did soul asylum create by their creepy and disgusting portrayal?

honestly i was more skeeved out by the "actors" in the video than the actual missing people. creepy

[kurtmartial]

The trend seems to be those let out of prison early on sexual crimes seem to elvate to murder, imagine the heartache a familly have to go through,, castration then hanging, or maybe just castration? if we were in a society of no laws the whole community would kill these people anyway so lets do it ourselves.

[enerjon777]

Exactly right!!

[reverb478]

AMAZING UNDERRATED BAND! Get into them now! man I'm tellin ya. Grave Dancers Union!

[DieOnFire]

you are all slow. the song is about being hooked on dope. not kidnapping

[chuckD0Tstax]

thats why its called runaway train, and shows missing kids... makes sense

[chongo989]

Curtis Huntzinger finally got to come home this winter, Unfortunately, his killer will get a light sentence I'm sure. :(

RIP Curtis

[betoweikach]

Clip muito bom!! e a musica tambem

[tworld666]

Takes me back to the days when taking off seemed like such a seedy, darkly romantic goal.

[sportsnumber8]

yeah how many were found?

[CorinnaLovesToast]

i know that six were found with in like a week or something

total i'm not sure.

[MPG350]

Wonder how many if any were ever found.

[cali0206]

very cool

[hellboundkidxxx]

good song and realy deep and yet sad meaning behind it

[crazy7house]

Whatever happened to good songs like this and MTV??

[dalistreri]

2:33

WTF!!!!!!!!!

[VMKCheat]

Make this video out of brawl, it's cool.

[sogood53]

is good!

[taryn7287]

this song is not only amazing, but it sends out a great messge. i am embarrased for these needledicks who think other wise.

[josememo]

i love this song

[gclpunk]

this song can suck a big one

[torchkit]

This song sucks. The singer is a cheap Tom Petty imitator.

[SkylinexBleedsxRed]

Call it what you will, This song has a good meaning behind it. Very disturbing.

[Tacom4ster]

I now want to beat the crap out of abducters, and make them listen this song before they die

[DudasMiska]

FUCK OFF WITH YOUR SPAM SHIT

[ChAoS9779]

1.) Spell out your fucking words you retard.

2.) If you think anyone believes you you're on crack.

3.) You're going to rot in Hell because no on loves you.

DIRECTED TOWARDS Dynamektv, the faggot.

[rangers1940333]

i always loved the song but this video makes me feel sick...

[BootPatrol]

I now weep over this song, as no child should be abused or missing.

Thank you.

[ganjamamastyle]

Most important to try...the results will come or not at least they did something...

Love this song since those years it makes me feel one step far away from crying...

[peternorthr22j]

i wonder if this video really helped some of these people to be found...anyone konws ???

[kathia999]

I lovee the Songg ! itt Very Beautifull

[mrswalters29]

i agree with PLCjockey!!!!!!!!

[reverb478]

yea mtv won't air this but they will air two faggets making out, wow! total zionism.

[Howleron]

cuz mtv is a selfish network that only cares about the entertainment of teenagers that doesnt care about what really matters in life

[pittbull1818]

Classic song.....impossible not to feel it. and MTV didn't air it....because there MTV. hah It's not funny...but ironically sad. Many have been found, still many more have been lost. This song deserves it's place as one of the most heartfelt song and videos of all time

[vluckylouie]

This song makes me want to run away.

[PLCJockey]

I think the point of the song was to bring people back.......

[WanttobeShannenlover]

Love that song, thanks for posting.

[TWILIGHTLOVER789876]

this is really sad!!! i am going to cry!! my uncle went missing and has not been found yet. he has been missing for 5 years, we dont know where he is

[spencer10362]

my aunt was on this video. she went missing almost 20 years ago and still hasn't been found

[bigdd66]

it's been 25+ years most these kid's are what 35+ now?? of course they werm't found it's a sad life :(

[KailofthePlushies]

A lot of these kids have been found, but unfortunately more could have been found but MTV refused to air the full version of the music video which had a phone number for people with information on the runaways to call

[TokinS]

Because some people in this world don't care what happens to children. And apperently MTV is just like them.

[scottswoman81]

i wonder how many of these children have been found or not now!

[sammytaimaree]

that video just broke my heart, its reality and it hits you in the face like a sledgehammer

[djNymph]

I love this song. I love it.. Brings back the best memories.. I lost my virginity!! Yep to this song.. years ago.. HHAHAHA <3 I wanted the singer so bad! HAHAHAHA

Ahh man to be a teen again ;)

[WeatuS101]

the most depressing video ever, followed by some of the most depressing comments ever. Sorry for everything unfortunate in everybody's lives, that sucks. I think people should be redirected to Modest Mouse "Float On" so they can cheer up after this. haha. oh boyy.

[atreyugibson]

My older sister who is 26 is still struggling with drugs after 14 years. She has done similar thing ie,stealing and prostiution. This song hits me hard everytime because it stopped me from doing drugs as well and I haven't had much problems with my depression and suicide either.

[gibsondrummer]

A man was on the news this morning . He was in court for raping a 6 year old boy in a public library . He was on probation from a previous conviction of raping a 7 year old boy years earlier. Why was a dangerous sexual predator let out of jail in the first place? WTF ! the jugde who gave him the first light sentance should go and the jugde that granted him probation needs to go! Dont we have capitol punishment? If ever there was an instance where it applies i think these crimes are it fry him!

[TokinS]

Fry him!? Are you nuts!? THAT IS WAY TO NICE! Isay.. Crucify! The worst way to go.

[AydanW]

i lost my best friend. he went for a road trip and soem girl ws beign raped and they both went missing and he was found dead and beaten a truck stop

[estraven2008]

WTF does it matter if he does/doesn't sound like Tom Petty? JC on a popsicle stick, people!

[estraven2008]

this breaks my heart. I'm a mom and grandmom and these lost kids just need something, someone, so much. this song spoke to me when it was current and nothing has changed. nothing.

[pigfaceddog]

this happened to a girl I used to date, they found her dead at a truck stop...this world is fucked up.

[1VanceB]

I'm so sorry to hear that, everything cruel or evil seems so surreal, like a dream. Hoping everything is still the same, but it will never be. I'm sorry man.

[pigfaceddog]

no worries, only problemI have is the last time I talked to her we had a HUGE fight and she asked for a hug "can I just have a hug?" and I told her to fuck off and left her crying sitting on the floor.

[1VanceB]

How old were you, how old was she. Still fucked up, what happened to her, that just not right in any way. I have two daughter, I just don't know what i would do, If I lost them. But still, it's scary. sorry

[pigfaceddog]

we where in our mid to late teens after our fight she went to vegas for some reason got into drugs started prostituting she found a way to get out and get home and on her way home she OD'd at a truck stop

[imyoursuperior2]

man, you murdered her. Why call the world messed up? You're the one messed up. Seek help before you kill more!

[pigfaceddog]

Cute you mental dinosaur. So glad you where the one to point that out. Never know where I'd be with out trolls letting me know whats happening in my life.

[morgan0421]

its a sick freakin world we live in and its sad how we've gotten so immune to things like this where we can just turn our heads and pretend it doesnt happen, until it happens to us. it shouldnt have to be that way at all. we shouldnt be so used to horror that it doesnt shock us anymore. its so sad.

[TEEDUB2440]

why are we arguing on whether they sound like tom petty or not....how can that be a thought...watch the video...tears its so beautiful and sends out a horrible truth about america and its people.

[brohdaw]

i think we should all stop this is wrong so if you give a crap help them go out and look or somthin i dont no anything (and this came from an 11 year old!)

[herrgreenhorn]

shit

[Skeedont]

oh come on. there is little to no difference.

other ppl think so too, i downloaded it as Tom and had it like that for 3 years before i ever even heard of these guys.

[GhostHuntersRGV]

This video remiss me of the time I went ghost hunting we fawned a macros covered with what looked like blood and close all arrowed it and owns we got don hunting ghost on the way back this song came on it made me think that someone was kid napped raped and killed watch the video to see what I mean.

[Rememberingyou43]

The Baby, Thomas, is probably still alive. People tend to take babies to fill a whole in their heart, maybe left by their own child.

Its still so very sad.... :(

[OrthodoxAtheist]

So sad. Such a great song, but quite heartwrenching some of the stories connected with the children in the video. Go read on wikipedia.

[CelesteK]

I actually almost did run away one time when I was 16. I put my shoes on and I was all ready to walk out of the front door but by the time I put my shoes I just didn't make it out the front door. L.M.A.O!

[jillpoo3]

AMANDA FUCKING STONE!!!!! I miss you sooo much.

[asdfcory]

this bring backs memorys

were these kids abducted, or did they just run away, become hookers and drug addicts?

never understood that part

[CelesteK]

Some of them were abducted but some of them are runaways.

[TimandGrant]

Wait, this isn't Soul Asylum? That shit band from the early 90s? This is Tom Petty?

[Enigma3390]

It's not petty man its soud asylum

[Trogdorwillrise]

What the fuck?

Why the hell did I think this was by Tom Petty??

I...

For two years now, I thought...

You mean this isn't Tom Petty?

I feel so lied to :( Surely he did a cover or something? Why did I identify this song with him?

[Ajikankid]

I also thought it was tom petty. It sure sounds like him singing.

[kingsnake23]

I love this song!!!!

[Geezo27]

can u help me remember how 2 smile?

[mosli69]

tell me this yeahr???please...

[Skeedont]

hmmm.

i always thought this song was by tom petty.

curious.

[starsweet4]

tom petty?? seriously?

[Skeedont]

hey, listen to petty and then this. you will notice that they sound almost exactly the same.

but tom is better :P

[starsweet4]

i did :P i hear him singing 'you don't know how it feels' or 'don't come around here no more' and he doesn't sound like pirner at all! tom has a higher voice and it's not as scratchy as pirner's

[KingJeffrey1st]

Does anyone know if this video worked to find any missing people? This had to have been a big deal when it came out, I don't remember though. It would be interesting to find out that some of them are alive.

[zakatak000]

Hahahaha, pussy rock at its finest!

[bobbystj]

all kidnappers  rapers should burn in hell for ever

[ArkLover27]

Amen, dude. Amen.

[jjstardust2006]

i love this song, it reminds me of old times, and old memories. *sighs* i miss the old times when i felt like this.

[swindlerslist]

i lived in oceanside ca at the time this came out. very sad song and video.

[Slayowarrior]

How come all american missing people have 3 names? only the mexican (or whatever girl) in 2:28 has 2 names.....

[zeke426]

first, middle and last names. I guess middle names dont exist in certain countries.

[IntroSpectre6x3]

That, and in many countries, especially in east Asia, a person's literal First name is the equivilant of our Last Names, it carries on with the family. Most Asian countries call people by their "Last" name, which is their common name.

[leonnorte]

these mistaken, in mexico the common thing are a name and two last name if you know investigate!!!

[IntroSpectre6x3]

Not every American has three names, some have four or five, and some have only two. It's all up to the parents.

I had a friend who, because of strange laws relating to her foster families, had the name Jessica Marie Elain Wilson Oliver Smith. She had two middle names, and switched between three different families, but because of legal issues she never lost the "last name" from any of them.

[psitiki]

Lawl baby napping.

[vluckylouie]

In what year was this song released?

[buddygoodcat]

Early 90's, like 1992 or 1993 maybe. It was quite a while ago.

[nitemaric]

even though some adults try to ive us freedom it never helps

[JujitsuKitty]

really? then, I'm picking my uncle.

thanks, I have no idea I could choose when I turned 16 o.o

thank you!

[JujitsuKitty]

*nods* I'm currently not at my parents. so to speak.

I still technically live there, but I'm staying at a friend's house. like a really long sleep-over.

someday though, I'll leave. I mean, I still respect them as my "parents" but I don't think *any* kid or person should ever be treated like that.

[futurewolf42o]

kill kids and win prizes

[spunkyprep]

This video makes me sad... man...

[hunha991]

this video gives me the creeps

[JujitsuKitty]

oh, it isn't that easy...believe me...I've tried...who do you think the fuzz is going to believe?

two well-groomed adults with p.h.d's?

or a messy little 15 year old girl?

[nitemaric]

unfortinatly the adults

[JujitsuKitty]

exactly.

[nitemaric]

if only we actauly had rights

[JujitsuKitty]

*sigh* I know...I wish we did too...but, adults would just say we're trying to get attention...it's horrible...

[nipulon0313]

thanks for the reply.

god bless them all.

[nipulon0313]

i wonder if any of these kids were ever

found.

god please protect them and bring them home.

[whitedragon257]

I hope they were, it must be the worst thing in the world to loose a child. Your right God please protect them and bring them home.

[78th78th]

Damn I niss the great music of the 90's

[donnah781]

futurewolf42o your a waste of a life. for what you wished i hope you go to hell

[nitemaric]

[1freckleface2]

[nitemaric]

[bob4693]

2 Men talking...1st says, "I'd like to ask God why he'd allow such hunger, famine, war, and oppresion to exist on earth." 2nd man replies, "So would I, but I'm afraid he'd ask me the same thing."

[macyg1989]

[pintoroni]

[RetroOdies]

Love This Song, but It's so True :'(

[666skullfucked666]

damn right ,my friend , but i prefer worthless pile of dog shit

[tikkigod011]

Anyone who strikes a child is a coward, and a worthless pile of shit.

[ivan1111111111111]

Pussies, grow some and endure it

runaway's have no mental strength

[SkaterKyoto]

lmao mental strength?

you mean ignoring your emotions and best interests?

[JujitsuKitty]

why did i runaway?

my parents. they're abusive. more or less my mother anyways. it's verbal abuse usually, but sometimes it's physical too.

and my father isn't really there. emotionally. he basically ignores what mother does to me, and well. yeah. :/

[IntroSpectre6x3]

I ranaway to avoid getting arrested for assault when my beat the shit out of my sister for talking shit about my real dad. =)

[JujitsuKitty]

well, we all have our reasons :)

[IntroSpectre6x3]

Who needs reasons?! =D "It happened, because it happened."

[JujitsuKitty]

lmao! guess so XD

[JujitsuKitty]

I've run away too...and...I have to keep coming back 'cause the fuzz keep finding me...soon as I hit 18...I'm outta that place.

May the angels stand with the children, and all of the runaways.

[pusssssyyyyyy]

and hed been in a bitter custody battle with his wife over her, Murphy said. It turned out the girl hadnt run away, but was killed and buried in her backyard by her mother. Then on tour, another girl told us laughingly You ruined my life because she saw herself on the video at her boyfriends house and it led her being forced back into a bad home situation.

[pusssssyyyyyy]

from wiki:

The video was very successful in reuniting many of the missing children with their families. Some of the children even saw themselves in the video and returned home. In 2006, guitarist Dan Murphy stated in an interview with Pasadena Weekly that some of children who were found were not returned to the best of conditions: "Some werent the best scenarios. I met a fireman on the East Coast whose daughter was in the end of the video,

[goaliegirl618]

love the song so deep and raw just love it

[clementtheunissen]

this video really breaks my heart....i ran away from home 2 but the cops founded me after a few weeks....i hope there will be a better world 4 us in the next life is it excistists...

[Jamesamite]

We must make laws that put life sentences on pedophiles on the first offense or they will simply go out and sexually assault another child. It is as simple as that. Until we do children will be raped, abused sexually, and murdered. When are we going to get it?

[LoneRangers222]

because putting life sentences has stopped all murder right? Not that I don't agree with giving pedophiles life sentences but it certainly won't stop it from happening, that is completely naive.
