I listened to this song hundreds of times in the 1980s, but now I'm here listening for the Tim Pierce solo. Great to hear his stories about how this recording came about.
Metal in the 80's were more of Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, WASP, Dio, Rainbow, Anthrax, Early Metallica, Skid Row and many others. I consider Bon Jovi the pop rock of the 80's.
Co-authored in 1982 by Jon Bon Jovi and George Karak, “Runaway” (released in 1984) was Bon Jovi’s first hit. A staple of their live concerts, this glossy and anthemic piece - with a socially conscious message - is one of the band lead vocalist’s favorites. The composition tells the story of a girl who gets so little attention from her parents that she runs away from home and lives on the streets, doing her best to survive. Frequently, Jon Bon Jovi himself would take a Greyhound bus from New Jersey into Manhattan, where he saw a lot of young people trying to get away in utter desperation. Those very youngsters became the inspiration behind “Runaway.” In 1989, a live version was used as the B-side of “Lay Your Hands On Me.” And in 2003, the popular number was introduced to the audience as follows : “If you see this song down at the beach, buy it a drink - it’s finally old enough.” 💜🚌💙
[Verse 1:] On the street where you live Girls talk about their social lives They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint A touch of sable in their eyes All your life, all your life All you've asked is when's your daddy gonna talk to you But you were living in another world Tryin' to get a message through. [Hook:] No one heard a single word you said. They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your head. [Chorus:] Ooh, she's a little runaway. Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say. Ooh, she's a little runaway. [Verse 2:] A different line every night Guaranteed to blow your mind I see you out on the streets Calling for a wild time So you sit home alone 'Cause there's nothing left that you can do There's only pictures hung in the shadows Left there to look at you You know she likes the lights At night on the neon Broadway signs She don't really mind It's only love she hoped to find [Chorus:] Ooh, she's a little runaway. Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say. Ooh, she's a little runaway. [Hook:] No one heard a single word you said They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your head. [Chorus:] Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast Now she works the night away x2
Спасибо вам большое за перевод этой песни я большая фанатка Jon bon Jovi ! Я люблю песню It's may life ! Я эту песню слушаю уже миллион рас и много других ихних песен и музыки клипов видео!: твоя подруга Юля привет из Украины 💋🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Tim Pierce changed guitar rock forever with this. BTW, this is not Richie here, it's studio player Tim. He wrote and played all guitars here, and most of this album, but this is the only recording the studio kept with Tim exclusively on guitar. He went on to be Rick Springfield's guitarist, playing on just about every hit he had, and also played on hundreds of others, like Iris - Goo Goo Dolls, Don't Dream it's Over - Crowded House and many more. This song and this style of guitar playing and lead work, when it was released, just changed everything.
What did it change exactly? I'm curious. I mean, it's good guitar work, but what's new about it? It's 1980... everything with electric guitar had already been done by then, right?
@@davidmfass While Tim isn't a pioneer by any means, it did set the tone for Bon Jovi, who were a huge part of the 80's rock movement, so maybe that's what he meant. In any case, great guitar work. Tim is definitely something of an unsung hero in the music world
in a small town Denmark, i bought this on 12 inch blue see thru vinyl when it came out summer 84 ... 18 yrs old, still have it... it was more awesome than i expected... and still is :)
I came here to check it out after finding out Tim Pierce did all the guitar. I watch his channel all the time, and it was different to hear this song knowing he was playing.

I know when the song first come out I was a runaway I was 15 I used to not make me cry now I can't listen to it without crying I'm 49 today it's definitely an awesome song
This is the one song on the album guitars are played by Tim Pierce. This was mastered before Bon Jovi was a band but used on the album. I believe Tim played all guitar parts on this track.
he is such a legend. i chased the tone and flow of this solo for all my teenage years. too bad i had to spend those on a kramer with a very badly set up floyd rose and action.
First radio played song for BJ. And the stations didnt want to play it. I think there was this tiny station in Long island NY. They played it first and the test is ongoing history for the bj boys. Runaway was ahead of it's time. Disco and New Wave rules the airways back then. In my opinion Runaway paved the way for the true 80s ROCK SOUND. Real guitars and bass. Real drummers and drums. Real heartfelt and head banging music and lyrics. Remember getting laid to the likes of Bon Jovi. Slaughter. Steelheart. Firehouse. White Snake. Oh ya . White Snake ; Tawney Kitaen. Ok. Stop. You get the picture. So. All you 50 somethings. Very enjoyable memories on CZcams and others. WOW!!!
i used to drive on M3 from lewisham,london to southampton, marchwood, then to lymington , once or twice a month. after you past Basingstoke , the M3 is darkest no light. I used to play this song , repeatedly on my cassattes.. fun day.. old man now. good memory
“Told ma mom everything about us!” “Uh..what are you talkin’ about?” “You’re actin’ coy! Come on! Natural! You know!” “I’m sorry Paul! I don’t....know!” “AAAWWW SNAP!! POP GOES THE WEASEEEEEEELL!! SOO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!”
As a Fabulous Diamond Twin Touring as a harlot in gentlemans clubs we used this song as a setlist for The Catholic Schoolgirls and The Hot Nun Show ! Love Theresa

same 😂
this is still my fav Bon Jovi album
i miss the 1980's 💕
And in the 80`s I will miss my PC my handy and my DAW.
Cabo 1 regulares Ceuta... la foto de mi novia y esta mierda... con junco..... lo ma PRECIOSO.
My life long dream is to have grown up in the '80s. I love the old music, but I am a 2000s guy, and the music nowadays sucks.
We all do
Everybody misses the 80s.
This is my first metal/rock album. Thats time i was 12yrs. Now im 44yrs. Still playing this album. Thank u bon jovi.
🙏Me too 🇺🇸
I'm 21 and it was my first. Still a banger. We remember too and won't let it be forgotten ❤
This is 100% Rock-N-Roll, Metal is way different.
Metal in the 80's were more of Quiet Riot, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, WASP, Dio, Rainbow, Anthrax, Early Metallica, Skid Row and many others.
I consider Bon Jovi the pop rock of the 80's.
not metal. pop rock.

And Tim Pierce on guitar 🎸
its not anthemic. its actually quite tragic and sad. which is good. the song is a very special song. very stylistic. very good.
just fell in love with this album all over again ..a real hidden gem
In my opinion, this is the best album Bon jovi made, every song is good. Thanks .
I agree. And new jersey too.
[Verse 1:]
On the street where you live
Girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
All your life, all your life
All you've asked is when's your daddy gonna talk to you
But you were living in another world
Tryin' to get a message through.
[Hook:]
No one heard a single word you said.
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head.
[Chorus:]
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
[Verse 2:]
A different line every night
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Calling for a wild time
So you sit home alone
'Cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights
At night on the neon Broadway signs
She don't really mind
It's only love she hoped to find
[Chorus:]
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say.
Ooh, she's a little runaway.
[Hook:]
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head.
[Chorus:]
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she works the night away
x2

These were the days when these guys were full of life and music...not comersial. Wonderful album to listen to
margarita toteva Didn't their commercialism start with Have a Nice Day?
you r right
@@margaritatoteva8780 To be honest, it was an educated guess. 😶
@@Greg_Robertson Their commercial stuff started when Desmond Child wrote You give love a bad name and the 29 others he wrote / co wrote for/with them.
@@Greg_Robertson nope it started with Slippery When Wet. The band has admitted they changed gears to attract more female audience

Strong Ace Frehley influence in this solo

thats interesting, but Tim didnt change jackshit
I always assumed it was Aldo Nova on guitar on this track. Its great, but not on EVH level.
in a small town Denmark, i bought this on 12 inch blue see thru vinyl when it came out summer 84 ... 18 yrs old, still have it... it was more awesome than i expected... and still is :)
Just been to a live 80's metal retro, band were smokin', played this as the finale. Superb.
The best album Bon Jovi did.........Probably one of the best Synth Rock albums of all time.
Fantastic song. Great. I adore it. BON JOVI FOREVER.
Don’t worry everyone, the 80’s will be back in less than 60 years.
But I will be 110
That leaves 60 years for them to redevelop talent.
@@johngill2853I'll be pushing 120!!! Lol

@@dbuck5350 yep and now I can hear his playing plain as day knowing that
The best Bon Jovi song period!
One of the best glam metal songs in my opinion
Como nos divertíamos escuchando ese álbum éramos jóvenes todo quedó en buenos recuerdos
Minha banda favorita excelente álbum ótima musica perfeita saudades dessa época 1984 eu tinha 14 anos de idade saudades

I can just imagine have worried sick my parents were when they couldn't find me
I am 47 and I am still crying too.
I hope your life is better now!
Makes one of us
It's crazy how time flies😭😭
Bon Jovi opened with this song in Sacramento in the early 80's. Little did I know how big they would be. Great concert ending with Scorps.
Queen influence, combined with some heavy metal.
One of the best solos of all time.
I was listening to this at work and the radio announcer said it was by bon Jovi 😮. I didn't know he rocked out like this. Respect!
Amazing guitar by Tim Pierce!!
This is the one song on the album guitars are played by Tim Pierce. This was mastered before Bon Jovi was a band but used on the album. I believe Tim played all guitar parts on this track.

Best Bon Jovi song, so awesome.
The only Bon Jovi song that does not automatically cause me to change the station when it comes on the radio
True lol... the others songs are very sweets n commercials
@@calamitysam9 he just bores me
100%
The only one!?
@@jamesnunn7181 yup
This is great album. One of my fave bands. Hope Richie comes back he belongs with bon jovi
Love this song very much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jersey rock. Great stuff!
If you dont know this song then you dont know Bon Jovi at all.
r/gatekeeping
completely agreed
Agreed, people should also know love lies, but the majority don't n that's just sad
I'm pretty sure they didn't write it. Good song though.

I'll be honest, Bon Jovi isn't really my thing, but this first album really kicks some ass.

Este cd. Me trae gratos recuerdos de mis viajes México - Cd. Hidalgo Chiapas.
One of them things so easily buried n forgotten..how u no?💗💗💗
Greatest guitar solo of all time.
Tim Pierce is a great studio guitarist for sure. Always plays within the song.

Esta musica Runaway e simplesmente fantastica
"Rango no Prato"?
Só poderia ser brasileiro, e gaúcho ainda por cima...😅
I love this song!
I love harmonizing to this song it just sound So good
Best song of Bon Jovi.
I was looking for this song. Wow, found you, love this song.
I love this song 💓
Their debut album came out 40 years ago today, January 21, '84. Runaway is such an awesome rockin' tune!
what a great intro
uma das trilhas preferidas dos rodeios
Bon Jovi sounded like any other 80's band up until Slippery When Wet, when they announced their presence with authority.
🤘🏻 Excelso 🤘🏻!
Mouth breather.
“Told ma mom everything about us!”
“Uh..what are you talkin’ about?”
“You’re actin’ coy! Come on! Natural! You know!”
“I’m sorry Paul! I don’t....know!”
“AAAWWW SNAP!! POP GOES THE WEASEEEEEEELL!! SOO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!”
hermosa canción tengo 30 años y la escucho este 2024
Real people come from Bon Jovi, not Stranger Things.
And real people like stranger things
So we gotta find a way thru day n nite..then u sing so beautifully for us
Da urlo....!!!!Spettacolo
Wat a song but all his songs ❤❤
This song/video was a "Runaway" for Bon Jovi forty years ago. It was one of their early hits!
