Jon and Roy 'Runner' [Forest Sessions]

Jon and Roy performing "Runner" from "The Road Ahead Is Golden" in a Forest on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

You’re falling down like heavy stone
Through the muddy waters that you know
Dropped in another day, never saying what you ought to say
oh and now your lies are coming

but hey, anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them

You’re dragging on like wintertime
Rolled through the rubble on your mind
Back in your knowing place, with a weapon you don’t want to waste
and hey, now you’re on the ground and running

I say, anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them

Oh no you’re not whole when you’re so unaligned
Can’t you see we all know you got free
So can you tell it honestly?

Anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them

Every now and then I discover a real gem. Something that grabs hold of me and won't let go. And it's Jon and roy this time. Blow. Away. Been painting to this album all day long.

This song should be longer in my opinion for real ❤

Amazing! I feel privileged to meet so nice songs like this. ♡

This song plays under a great video segment called "Kamloops" in a mountain biking film called "Motive." It's one of the all time best marriages of killer cinematography, riding, and music, in ANY mountain bike film. In fact, I would probably put it tied for first with Brandon Semenuk's segment from "Unreal" with "For what it's worth" from Buffalo Springfield. Usually...I don't care a lot for music in MTB films, but in those two cases...they are perfect.

Oh...and what is this song about? I tried to interpret the lyrics, and I'm only coming up with wild guesses.

How is it possible that this only has 14, 000 views? 13, 000 of them are mine.

Lyrics

You're falling down like heavy stone
Through the muddy waters that you know
Dropped in another day
Never saying what you ought to say
Oh, and now your lies are coming

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em

You're dragging on like wintertime
Rolling through the rubble on your mind
Back in your knowing place
With a weapon you don't want to waste, but hey
Now you're on the ground and running

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em

Oh, no, you're not whole when you're so unaligned
Can't you see we all know you got free?
So can you tell it honestly?

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
