This is a thread where I share a couple of songs out of many that are in my library with the word "away" in the title.

Run Runaway by Slade

So Far Away by Dire Straits

I cannot share the best, which is "Twistin' the Night Away" by Sam Cooke because it is not possible. Although, you could buy it, or listen if you own it, and twist the night away on your rug. Lean up. Lean back. Watusi.

My contribution. A bit more laid back.

I always loved 'Run Runaway.'

That's a great one, danf.

For hardcore VH fans, this is probably their least favorite. It's my most favorite.

An "away" song.

I had a bunch lined up but MuxTape is just ornery, and I don't have the patience.

Here's some goodies:

Paul Westerberg's Runaway Wind from his first solo record.

Here's Willie doing Funny How Time Slips Away, from the VH1 Storytellers he did with Johnny Cash.

And...REM doing What If We Give It Away, from my favourite REM record, Life's Rich Pageant.

And...The classic, amazingly vocalled, A Quick One, While She's Away, by The Who!

And...The Proclaimers doing Throw the 'R' Away, from their first (I think) called This is the Story.
