1) Alternative rock band from Philippines.

2) American singer/songwriter.

1) Hale is an alternative rock quartet that originally formed from the southern part of Metro Manila. The band consists of Champ Lui Pio (vocals, rhythm guitar), Roll Martinez (vocals, lead guitar), Sheldon Gellada (bass guitar), and Paulo Santiago (drums and percussion), Join The Club's former drummer who replaced Omnie Saroca in 2008.

This four-piece rock alternative outfit collected themselves at the core of one goal to reach out the listening crowd and make them understand the value of the band’s musical sincerity. From the start, all they really wanted was to musically express themselves and be heard. But they didn't count on the massive chart-topping power of their sounds that spawned a new pop rock genre they've coined 'melodrama'.

Hale (2005-2006)
It was their self-titled debut album in 2005 that propelled them to the local mainstream and gained them their already growing popularity. Singles like Broken Sonnet, The Day You Said Goodnight, Kahit Pa and Kung Wala Ka monopolized music charts across the nation with one impressive hit after another. In that same year the album reached Triple Platinum Certification, sealing their name as one of the country's most acclaimed bands.

Twilight (2006-2008)
In October 2006, the band released their much-awaited sophomore album Twilight that jolted the OPM scene with experimental lyrics and sounds that featured a wider spectrum of musical arrangements: rough riffs and darker, more intricate lyrics. It was a move that most music artists wouldn't dared to do in such an early stage. But Twilight had successfully topped the charts once again with 15,000 units sold only a week after its release.

With already two successful albums under their belts, Hale suddenly decides to take a break and announces a 'hiatus'' from the exhaustion and the pressure to record the second album.

Above, Over and Beyond (2008-2009)
After their hibernation, Hale returns with a new album and a newfound passion. It took ten months to complete their third effort Above, Over and Beyond, but was eventually released on April 2008 which contained fresh singles like Pitong Araw, Sandali Na Lang, Over and Over (And Over Again) and Leap of Faith. Unlike before, it features a new sound that showcases the band's further artistic abilities without repeating what they've done before.

Kundiman (2009-present)
The band is set to promote their fourth album, Kundiman, in July 2009. As of now, the first single they've released from their effort is Bahay Kubo.

2) Hale Sheffield is a singer + songwriter born and raised in Brooklyn. When Hale was 15, she came up with the name Easy Socks. It has been her stage name for 4 years now, but as she's has gotten older she's found the importance of going back to her roots.

Runaway
Hale Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I talked to you tonight
to sort things out the right way we used to be
when you were still here with me

I wanted you to know
if you have loved me so
then why didn't you let me know
'cause I didn't wanna let you go

so why don't you just runaway from here
'cause I don't want you to get hurt by me
this way
you loved me to the point where I was lost
but then I couldn't catch you there
right there

so just runaway
runaway from here
won't you runaway
runaway from here

and I will never know

if we could ever go
the way that we should be.

Overall Meaning

In the song, the singer is having a conversation with someone they used to be close to, trying to sort things out to return to the way they were when they were together. The singer acknowledges the other person's love for them, but also expresses confusion about why the other person never conveyed their true feelings. As a result, the singer suggests that the other person should just runaway from them if they don't want to get hurt, implying that their presence only leads to pain and heartbreak. The chorus begs for the other person to runaway, so the singer won't hurt them anymore. The song ends on a bittersweet note, where the singer wonders if there is any hope of going back to the way things used to be.

The lyrics of the song suggest a complicated and unresolved relationship. The singer acknowledges the love that was shared between them and their partner, but the other person never expressed it fully. This lack of communication makes things harder for the singer, who is left feeling hurt and confused. The song's title 'Runaway' can be interpreted in two ways – as the singer asking their partner to leave and distance themselves from the situation or the singer expressing their own desire to run away from the relationship's pain.
