Polyphonic Spree - Running Away

Official Site: Polyphonic Spree
Because I felt bad for posting such a heavy-handed, kinda moody post last time concerning one brilliant Amanda Palmer, five minutes later I decide to post this song by the Polyphonic Spree. Consisting currently of 23 members, this Dallas band performs what they like to call "choral symphonic rock". "Running Away" is the kind of song you put on either like a silly kid goin' to some big event like prom for the first time or when you're older to just forget all the things that begin to weigh you down in this world. It's one of my favorite songs of what I like to call "friends having a good time together montage". You'll see what I mean when you hit play and imagine photos from the past collaging in your head. I've also used this song to show, again in montage, the remodeling of our first home. Somehow the song just kinda fits change when we share that change with friends and loved ones. The video for the song is also a montage. During a ten-day period that the band was on the road, over 70,000 still shots were taken to create what you're about to watch.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this palette-cleansing song and accept my apologies once more for the previous posts' tone.
Let me know if the song inspires YOU to make a slideshow or montage of your own! That'd be kinda cool to see!
Take care,
Tijuana Taxi
