A-Flock-Of-Seagulls - A Flock Of Seagulls

"I Ran So Far Away " Also Released As "I Ran " Is A Song By English New Wave Band A Flock Of Seagulls. It Was Released In 1982 As Their Third Single And It Was The Second Single From Their Self-Titled Debut Album. It Topped The Chart In Australia And Reaching Numbers Seven And Nine In New Zealand And The United States Respectively Although The Single Did Not Enjoy Similar Success In The Band's Home Country United Kingdom Failing To Make The Top 40. Recording And Composition Lead Vocalist Mike Score Says That There Were Two Main Sources Of Inspiration For "I Ran So Far Away ." The Members Of A Flock Of Seagulls Would Regularly Visit Eric's Club In Liverpool Where One Of The Bands Had A Song Called "I Ran." Score Noted That Because A Flock Of Seagulls Would Rehearse Right After Returning From Eric's The Song Title And Chorus May Have Gotten Stuck In His Head. Another Idea Came From A Poster At A Zoo Records Office. The Band Had Gone There With The Intent Of Securing A Recording Contract And They Wanted To Use The Poster Which Featured A Man And A Woman Running Away From A Flying Saucer As The Cover For Their First Album A Flock Of Seagulls 1982 . This Depiction Also Helped Spark The Song's Unusual Space-Like Lyrics. "I Ran So Far Away " Was Recorded At Battery Studios In London With Producer Mike Howlett. It Is A New Wave And Synth-Pop Song With A Run Time Of Five Minutes And Seven Seconds. According To The Sheet Music The Song Moves At A Quick Tempo Of 145 Beats Per Minute. With A Chord Progression Of A-G-A-G In The Verses And F-G-A In The Choruses The Song Is Written In The Key Of A Minor. During The Song's Introduction And Musical Interludes Short Guitar Riffs Are Played Which Give The Sense Of An Echo. Guitarist Paul Reynolds Had Joined The Band After The Music Was Already Written So The Short Guitar Riffs Were Added For Reynolds To Play. Lyrically "I Ran So Far Away " Is About A Man Who Sees An Attractive Woman And Attempts To Run Away From His Feelings. Before This Happens The Man Sees An Aurora In The Sky And He And The Woman Are Abducted By Aliens.
