About william Horton
Expertise
My favorite genre of course is 80's music. It can be just a few words from a song or video, and I will wrack my brains to remember or figure it out. I have a photographic memory and luckily for me I also love 80's music.

Experience
I used to be a D.J at the now defunct 93.7 WLHT in Grand Rapids, MI Iam a collector of music albums from the 80's British invasion. And I have a real need to constantly broaden and test my music knowledge

Education/Credentials
Associates degree from Michigan State university in Music & the Arts

80s Music - 80's song about running away from home


Expert: william Horton - 10/24/2009

Question
Hi William, I was wondering if you could identify this song. I heard it when I was a young child, it's from the 80's and the band was a british band. All I remember is the chorus with the lyrics "And I'm running away from home, ... miles from home/here" The ... is something like "several" or "a thousand" or something like that. The rest of the song is the singer talking instead of actually singing, and the music video features people (possibly the band members) travelling through parts of a country, what looks like England.
I'm sorry I can't provide too much more information, but maybe this rings a bell?
Thanks for your help
Tom

Answer
Sometimes, when we remember back over the years, words become what we want them instead of what they actually were.
There is a song released in August 1988 by the group A-Ha. They were from norway and famous for their song "take on me"

They did a song , that i mentioned earlier that was released in August 1988 called: Hurry home

Here are the lyrics and you can possibly hear the song too.

Please read the lyrics first and see if this is what you are looking for.
Then get back with me and let me know.
I hope that i have helped...please remember to leave me ratings feedback
Thanks
William
