Celtic music means two things mainly. The first: the music of the peoples calling themselves Celts (a non-musical, more political definition), as opposed to, say, "French music" or "English music." The second: whatever qualities may be unique to the musics of the Celtic Nations (a musical definition). Some insist there is actually nothing in common, such as Geoff Wallis and Sue Wilson in their book 'The Rough Guide to Irish Music', whereas others (such as Alan Stivell), say there is.
Often, the term Celtic music is applied to the music of Ireland and Scotland, because both places have produced well-known distinctive styles which actually have genuine commonality and clear mutual influences; however, it is notable that Irish and Scottish traditional musicians themselves avoid the term "Celtic music," except when forced by the necessities of the market. They are famous too because of the importance of Irish and Scottish people in the English speaking world, especially in America, where it had a profound impact on American music, particularly bluegrass and country music. The music of Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man, Brittany, Galicia, Cantabria and Asturias and Northern Portugal are also a part of Celtic music, the Celtic tradition being particularly strong in Brittany, where Celtic festivals large and small take place throughout the year, and in Wales where the ancient eisteddfod tradition still occurs. Additionally, the musics of ethnically Celtic peoples abroad are vibrant, especially in Canada and the United States.
Runaway
Aurora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw a face in the sand
But when I picked it up
Then it vanished away from my hands, down
I had a dream I was seven
Climbing my way in a tree
I saw a piece of heaven
Waiting, impatient, for me, down
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
I was painting a picture
The picture was a painting of you
And for a moment I thought you were here
But then again, it wasn't true, down
And all this time I have been lying
Oh, lying in secret to myself
I've been putting sorrow on the farthest place on my shelf
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows, nobody knows
And I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
But I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I kept running for a soft place to fall
And I was running far away
Would I run off the world someday?
But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I got no other place to go
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
Now take me home, home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
"Runaway" by Aurora is a song that speaks about the desire to escape from a situation that's exhausting or painful. The song starts with Aurora describing her observation of the ocean and how she saw a face in the sand. However, the moment she tried to pick it up, it vanished from her hands. This could be interpreted as the fleeting nature of life, how things that seem beautiful might disappear when we try to grasp them.
The second verse talks about Aurora's childhood dreams of climbing trees and her belief in a piece of heaven waiting for her. However, as she grew older and faced harsh realities, she found herself running away from her problems. The chorus talks about how she feels alive when she's dancing in the rain, but ultimately she wants to go home where she belongs. She feels like she has no place left to go, and she can't take it anymore.
The bridge of the song reveals that Aurora has been lying to herself, putting her sorrows away on a shelf. She's been constantly running, looking for a 'soft place to fall,' but it seems like it's elusive. The song culminates in the chorus, where Aurora begs for someone to take her home, where she believes she belongs.
Overall, "Runaway" is a beautiful song that captures the feeling of wanting to escape from reality but also longing to find a place where one belongs. It's a reminder of the importance of home and how it can provide a sense of comfort and stability in difficult times.
