about

Runaway Dog is an autobiographical song that tells of my childhood spent in the countryside in Rosora, a small village in central Italy. It's a sort of hymn dedicated to the beauty of childhood, to life lived with simplicity, to freedom and contact with nature.

The track also features the barking of Blackie, my beloved deceased dog, and my voice from when I was 7 years old during a school show.

lyrics

When I was a kid, people said I looked like a runaway dog
I ran across the fields and rivers and came home dirty, blooded
And soaked to the bone

When I messed up and someone chased me screaming
When I messed up and someone chased me screaming
I waved and disappeared

Run dog, run dog
Hurry to go home
Return to the place where you belong
Another day is coming and life is waiting on the road
Of the runaway dog

Once for fun i was playing with a rooster trying to crow louder than him
But when he came to peck me i was afraid and ran away
From the chicken coop

Country life is something very close
Country life is something very close
To truth and freedom

Run dog, run dog
Hurry to go home
Return to the place where you belong
Another day is coming and life is waiting on the road
Of the runaway dog

Waiting for the road

Run dog, run dog, hurry to go home
For your mom is making meatballs
Run dog, run dog, go where you belong
You know that life is meeting you on the road

Run, run, dog
Run, run, dog
Another day is coming and life is waiting on the road
Of the runaway dog
