Killer track, just that simple. Quite obviously rides the 80s retro trend, but does it unabashedly and with audible fun, combined with flawless production. If any upcoming album sounds like that, it deserves to stay number one for several weeks.
Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Clouds gather to summon the dawn as we meet around the fire
A shimmering light reflects from our eyes
As I let my thoughts wander I feel you reaching out
True love once mistaken, won't let go this time
Last night I was leaving you
Chasing the dreams that never may come true
Felt like the right thing to do
Two hearts in motion, one love so strong
Still the feeling that I was much too young
How could I've been so wrong?
And now I'm dreaming in the dark
I'm dreaming of a second chance
I'd take right from the start
No barricades, frontiers or borders
Tonight I'm gonna be on my way to you
'Cause I'm a dream runner
And I see, you and me
Made to last and meant to be
Running the dream
Dream Runner
A life in the fast lane
Where names are changing and faces fade away
But your face is meant to stay
Was I taking my chances
Or was I just too blind to see the truth
The truth that lies in you
And now I'm running in the night
A hundred men can't hold me back
I won't give up the fight
No barricades…
And even if we're worlds apart
Your guiding light shines through the dark
Shining through rain and thunder
And if I'm heading for the storm
Your tender touch will keep me warm
'Cause I'm a dream runner
No barricades…
