The Yagas, who feature actress Vera Farmiga (“The Conjuring”), have shared an official video for their new song “Runaway.” Farmiga said the following about that track:
“This song stems from a time long ago when our young child’s autism diagnosis had left Renn and I frightened and full of questions. Now, 16 years later, our daughter has opened our hearts and changed the way we see the world. She has brought more light and joy into our lives than we could have imagined. Being her parents is one of the great privileges of our lives. We can finally hold both truths in the same song: the fear we felt then and the light we see now. We’re releasing ‘Runaway’ now because we finally understand where we were going — toward her, toward each other, toward joy.
‘Runaway’ is a love song invitation. The longing is universal: to want to leave behind whatever made life feel unpredictable, dark, or small and run toward, you name it, illumination, compassion, something more sane. It’s for anyone who has ever looked at the special person beside them and thought, ‘What if we just left?’ There’s no grand plan. Just two people grabbing one another’s hands and running like hell toward sunlight, laughter, and a place where the world makes sense and feels bearable again.”
