I'm not happy, I'm not impressed, cos I'm very disappointed :/
It's nothing special, track is simply average :/
-Really I've been expected too much??
Ofcourse Runaway is better than black devil car, electric mistress etc but it don't present full Jamiroquai's energy, skills and style...
Sample of remix was better, mostly stronger! Even though we never heard full version of Grant Nelson mix, I think that was a very promising thing! I thought that JMQ oldschool style will finally comeback to us! But today I expired that he don't returned.
When I was listening to Runaway somewhere in a middle (after 2nd stanza) I thought that radiostation put some jingle on a track...but it was a 'transition' -just like, boys from Sony were impressed for latest Madonna's tracks
That was terrible, it dont match with whole tune and spoiled it :/ I'm fan of JMQ since 1999 and i'm really disappointed!
p.s. sorry 4 my english _________________ Polish Jamiroquai Fansite

Hello yet again ,
.....here is my stab at the lyrics, and as for my reaction, my goosebumps got goosebumps, I love it :
RUNAWAY LYRICS:
Can you dig it
Something in the air tonight
Got a one way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride
Got to make it
Make it to the other side
I've got demons
Stomping on my heels tonight
CHORUS:
I just want to runaway (Turn me loose)
Can lumber around
Running me down
I can't stay
I just want to get away
I just want to get away now
With them off my mind today
Can you feel it
I'm stuck inside a hurricane
Chasing rainbows
Can you see I'm going insane
I wanna be a free man
But I'm spinning on this crazy wheel
I'm jumping for the highbar
Can't you dig it
No longer know what I feel
Can't you see
REPEAT CHORUS
I was wanna run away
Turn me loose, Turn me loose (3x)
That's a maybe, That's a maybe (4x)
REPEAT CHORUS
Just want to runaway
La la la la la la
Just want to runaway
La la la la la la
REPEAT CHORUS
There you go, that was pretty cool near the end of "Runaway" they played the chorus backwards, I think this the first time I have seen Jamiroquai use their music backwards in a new song. But from what I have heard, I am extremely impressed, yeah the lyrical is a bit infantile, but all those amazing sounds on this song make up for that little fault ! Massive congrats to J and the boys for churning out another classic! Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
P.S. Though I do agree with the consensus that the Grant Nelson Remix clip we all heard really strengthened this new song, who thought a remix would make a New Jamiroquai song BETTER?!?  _________________

i've still only managed to hear the 1.16 segment - it sounds good, pretty funky, pretty dancey - sounds just like the AFO era in my opinion.
Does anyone have the lyrics yet? I'd like to know what Jay's singing "i'm a FRUITY man"????? I like that bit; he sort-of whoops the words.
Is Runaway a song for funky, depressed people?????? _________________ All Hail the King |

Hello again,
Well, Sister Deesh, do I have to explain my referencing to calling "Runaway" a "classic" ? I mean, given they are leaving a long discography with Sony/BMG behind, I could have said the "first classic new Jami song outside the spectrum of Sony". I think and consider this song a "classic", though it appears to rub badly with most of the senior fans, but didn't Jamiroquai's veering to a "new sound" starting in "Synkronized" rub the same fans the bad way? I still love it, regardless of what everyone thinks, this is my opinion, and I stick to it, hate it or love it. Didn't mean to sound a bit brusque there, just get in a weird mood when I have to explain myself further after one of my posts. Thanks for listening and Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
P.S. Lyrics to Runaway for Sister MsP :
RUNAWAY LYRICS:

CHORUS:

But I'm spinning on this crazy wheel
I'm jumping for the highbar
