Signs Of A Terrible Crime

Soul Asylum

In the 90s, there was a popular hit song by a band named Soul Asylum called “Runaway Train.” It’s a soft power ballad with slightly melancholic lyrics, typical for the 90s.

The video is not typical. I can not stop myself from tearing up when I watch it. It features pictures of over 30 missing persons, many of which have been found because of the song’s popularity.
