Would you still leave me I never thought youd go till you did. I wanted to do something different, slow it down and create a moodiness to feel the sentiment of the song in a different way." It has such an uplifting feel and its belief in humanity seemed particularly fitting for this project. It felt really good to sing."Ī second SC25 single has also been released, which is Kathleen Frances' rendition of Electric Youth and College's 2014 track "A Real Hero".įrances said of her choice of song, "I used to have this song on repeat. I think this is such a beautiful love song. On top of that they gave the world a reason to invent the word guitarmonies. Phil Lynott's vocal delivery and lyrics exemplify nonchalant cool. More than the Buick, more than my highschool sweetheart, I miss that tape.The band originally recorded the cover of "Running Back" in August 2020 as part of a SiriusXM Session, but today (14 January) the cover has been given an official release as part of Secretly Canadian's ongoing 25th anniversary singles series, which aims to raise $250,000 for New Hope For Families.īright Eyes' Conor Oberst said of the cover, "Thin Lizzy is one of the finest rock n roll bands of all time. This would be the last time that tape would play. The real tragedy was that the tape was streaming out of the broken box. When I got back to the eight track, I could see the tape had been smashed by my shin (which was only bleeding a little, didn't hurt at all). I had trudged almost all the way up the hill before I realized Tin Lizzy was still screaming from my car. It was pitch black on the country road to my parents house, but I knew it by feel The creek next to where my car lay went under the road at the bottom of a hill. I rolled down the passenger window and climbed out.

Luckily, being nineteen I was practically immortal. Running Back Lyrics by Thin Lizzy from the Jailbreak album - including song video, artist biography, translations and more: Im a fool now that its over. I love that girl but she dont love me back. In the process my beautiful Buick was destroyed and I bounced my face off the mirror, the dash board, and the steering wheel. HEART ATTACK, HERE I GO AGAIN Mama Im dying of a heart attack, heart attack, heart attack. Lynott lyrics too often fall back on easy cliches, though theyre heartfelt and display a worthy talent - his muddled concept albums that never stick to. After uprooting most of the stumps I came to rest against the big cedar by the creek. All that was left was a bunch of good sized stumps and one big Y shaped cedar at the edge of the creek. The township guys had been through earlier in the week and chopped all the cedars out of the ditch. Half way home I was rockin so hard I left the road. When I peeled off down the road, I shoved this in the eight track and turned it up to twelve to keep me awake. I had dropped my highschool sweetheart at her Daddy's farm. I really like that song." Hinkley later recalled, "Robbo and Scott were not keen on it at all but they were overruled." Thirty-five years later, Robertson recorded his own versions of the song on his 2011 album Diamonds and Dirt."īack in 75, late one July night, I was driving my Buick Skylark home after a night of mishaps. Lynott said at the time that "Running Back" was "very much influenced by Van Morrison. Listen to it and tell me it's not bollocks." Robertson did not play on the finished version of the song and Hinkley is not credited on the album sleeve. I couldn't understand why they'd pay this guy a fortune just for playing what he did. He later said, "I took enormous offence to. Robertson was against the idea, as he liked the song as it had originally been arranged, in a blues format with his own additions of piano and bottleneck guitar. Lynott and producer John Alcock decided to employ session musicians to add more commercial elements to some of the tracks and try to produce a hit single, so Tim Hinkley was brought in to add keyboard parts to "Running Back".
