Song Of The Week: 7/31/16







Song: "Crystal Court"

Artist: Run Forever

Album: "Big Vacation" 7" single

Year: 2015

Place Of Origin: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Years Active: 2009-present



WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:

"Crystal Court" appears to be a song about wallowing in one's own depression and self-loathe. The vocalist perhaps is in a failing or failed relationship and he is in just complete misery. You get a sense that the vocalist was perhaps caught cheating or in some way not being faithfull. He also knows that it was him who was in the wrong and he just wants to get away from his surroundings and everyone that is included in them.

CURRENT STATUS OF RUN FOREVER:

Run Forever formed as a band back in 2009, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The band has released three full length studio albums, 2011's "The Devil, And Death, And Me", 2012's "Settling" and 2015's "Run Forever". The band has also been featured on a few split singles and EP's. Most recently, the band was touring in support of their self-titled album, a tour which wrapped up in early 2016. Run Forever is an indie/punk band with a slight touch of emo mixed in. If you took elements of bands like The Menzingers, Apologies, I Have None, The Riot Before, Against Me! and Permanent Bastards, you'd get something that sounds like Run Forever. The band's lyrics are very personal in content and you can feel the emotion in Anthony Heubel's vocals. Run Forever is very much an underground band but if you seek passionate and energetic playing under thought provoking lyrical content, then Run Forever is a band you should definitely check out.
