The music production team responsible for the group's success, Juergen Wind (J. Wind) and Frank Hassas (Quickmix), wrote and produced each of the group's hit singles and hit album between 1993 and 1995. During the early stages of the group's European success in 1993, German rapper Olaf Jeglitza (O-Jay) and American singer Patricia Petersen (Patsy) fronted the act as a rapper-singer duo. By 1994, singer Vanessa Mason had joined the group as the third member of the live act. At the height of the group's worldwide crossover success in 1995, Jeglitza, Petersen and Mason were officially marketed as a trio act under the shortened group name Real McCoy. Many years after the break up of the group, Petersen and Mason were revealed to have not been the real singers of the act. Both women had in fact been miming the vocals of studio singer Karin Kasar for all the group's music videos and live performances. Kasar was also never officially credited for singing vocals for all the group's music releases between 1993 and 1995.
The final Real McCoy album One More Time was released in 1997. Wind produced the album without Hassas' involvement. After Petersen's departure from the group, singer Lisa Cork was recruited into the act by American songwriter/producer Brent Argovitz. Since Kasar was not involved in recording vocals for the album, Cork and Mason sang vocals on the album instead. Jeglitza and Argovitz also worked together as songwriters for the production. The lead single (also titled One More Time) achieved major commercial success in Canada and Australia,[9] but the commercial sales of the album itself worldwide in comparison to Another Night were considered a disappointment. The failure of the album ultimately caused the quick demise of the group's lineup in 1997.
In 1999, an new version of the group's 1990 hit "It's On You" and a new single "Hey Now" was released with an all new group lineup. Both singles failed commercially resulting in the production team permanently spliting up. In the years after the breakup, Jeglitza continued to release new independent singles under the name Real McCoy without Wind or Hassas' involvement.
Run Away
MC Sar & The Real McCoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run away, run away, run away if you want to survive
It's time to break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh
You better break free, oh oh oh oh, run away, oh oh oh oh
Money, sex in full control, a generation without soul
Perfect people in a perfect world,
Behind closed doors all in control
Cold cash money mentality
You gotta keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith
You'd better keep the faith and run away
Money, sex in full control, look, big brother is watching you,
Unlock your brain and save your soul,
No more limits, no more curfew
Life in the perfect system,
Take a stand and fight for freedom
Keep the faith, you gotta keep the faith
You'd better keep the faith and run away
The song "Run Away" by MC Sar & The Real McCoy speaks about breaking free from the hold of materialism and living life on one's own terms. The lyrics encourage the listener to escape a world where money and sex reign supreme, and people live behind closed doors in perfect, yet controlled worlds. The message is one of urgency as the song repeatedly states that running away is necessary for survival.
The song presents a dichotomy between living a life of luxury and materialism and breaking free from it to find true freedom. The lyrics refer to a "cold cash money mentality," suggesting that a focus on money above all else leads to a soulless existence. The song also alludes to the idea of a "big brother" watching, perhaps referencing a government or societal entity that controls individuals. The call to action is clear - to "keep the faith" and run away, perhaps to a place where freedom and individuality can be found.
