Run By One Republic

Song: Run By One Republic
Challenge For 48 Hour Media

I had never heard this song. The guy is in the city and sings that he spends all his money. He is standing with an umbrella in the rain. He is in a western movie with an Asian man shooting each other with no guns. He used the word run. I have heard songs by this group before but I wouldn't call this song one of their best. I guess this song has a catchy phrase and beat. Like on American Bandstand, I would give it a 7. Easy to dance to.

Run. I guess we all run from things in life. Like a job we don't like. People we don't care for. Sometimes, we run to things we are anxious about. Writing, reading, shopping, lunch with friends, celebrating Christmas.

Some people like to run Marathons. In high school, there was track. I never liked to run. At my age and arthritis, I walk. I will get there. I guess I would have to run if T Rex showed up.

I think of Bruce Springsteen's song Born To Run. My kind of song. I think of Lionel Ritchie's song Running With The Night.

In school, teachers tell you walk, don't run. I walked. I hated when kids ran to the bus. The bus won't leave without us.

This song. It wouldn't be on my Playlist but I enjoy hearing new songs. I confess. This song is running through my mind. Hopefully, I won't dream about it. I guess it is a catchy tune like I said. I will run to get this posted.
