Running If You Call My Name
I went through the most traumatic experience of my life right before we went on our first tour. My best friend in the whole world died. And I’ve never even told you guys this. Alana explains how she’d listen to ‘Running…’ when she found out her friend had died, even though it was written way before that incident. The lyrics mirror her movements when she got the call. ‘I went back to a room where all the memories came rushing back too soon/I packed my bags and I laid down, I felt the bed sink in and the covers surround’. We were in the desert in Joshua Tree and the first thing I did was run away. I remember everyone calling – ‘Alana! Stop! STOP! Where are you going?’ The more people called, the farther I’d run. I didn’t wanna come back to life… Every time I listen to that song it fucking makes me cry. I’m still dealing with the fallout…
