“Runaway (All Night Reverb)” by Ryan McDavid is one of the best dream pop tracks I’ve heard in awhile. It’s mystic, it’s melodic and extremely well produced … bringing to mind one of my favourite British groups of yesteryear, Rialto. Like Rialto’s music, McDavid’s latest single is also very cinematic and tuneful.
The song’s about asking the person who loves you to run away from you before your darkness hurts them, and while that might be a hard concept for some to understand, anyone who’s been burned and wounded by life to any considerable degree will know that the lyric makes perfect sense. Sometimes we are just past redemption, incapable of reciprocating love, sentenced to darkness.
Regardless of which group you belong to, the one who looks at love through rose-colored glasses or the one who believes they posses the Midas touch in reverse, you’ll appreciate Ryan McDavid’s new offering. And that … is a promise. It’s too good not to like.
