about

Following the success of their first three singles - which have been collectively streamed over 310,000k times on Spotify - KIN release their fourth single, The Runaways. It’s a pulsating pop anthem with dreamy guitar riffs, beautiful melodies, and mesmerising beats. The song is produced by Josh Tyrrell (Lana Del Rey, Mark Ronson, Tony Visconti) and released with 3tone Music.

Inspired by a real experience, The Runaways follows two people as they navigate a new place and relationship together. It encapsulates the excitement and trepidation of leaving a settled life and venturing into the unknown.

The song is accompanied by a self-directed video filmed in London and Brighton which is inspired by 1980s Hollywood including Steven Speilberg’s ET.

lyrics

He hangs his shirts, one by one,
As I lie on the bed and watch him,
His face illuminated by the window frame,

I think I should feel strange to be here,
But I don’t, and I’m happy all the same,
Can’t say for sure he reflects my mind,
Oh,
He’s an hourglass who’ll reveal with time,

Push me down, push me down,
Tell me how much, how much,
Oh we’ve run away
To the call of the restless heartbeat,

Then we hold hands down the street,
Our legs not working properly,
A glimpse into an alternate life,
Would we have ended here last time?

The sun and silence twisted with our fingers,
Inside his pocket to keep warm,
The unfamiliar city hiding us,
With him I don’t mind getting lost,
Oh,

Push me down, push me down,
Tell me how much, how much,
Oh we’ve run away,
To the call of the restless heartbeat,

Oh, We’ve runaway,
Oh, We’ve runaway,
It’s been calling me,
Oh, We’ve runaway,
Oh, We’ve runaway,
Oh, We’ve runaway,
Oh, It’s been calling us
It’s been calling us,
We’ve run,
We’ve run,
We’ve run,
We’ve run away,
Away.

Push me down, push me down,
Push me down, push me down,

Oo,
Push me down, push me down,
Tell me how much, how much,
Oh we’ve run away,
To the call of the restless heartbeat.
