With her 2021 debut album Reckless, which was re-released in 2022 with bonus tracks, Morgan Wade established herself as a young rising country music artist. Wade wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, with lyrics reflecting both strength and vulnerability that usually only emerge in more mature artists.
Many fans have gravitated to Wade, who has been open about her struggles with alcohol addiction. During the pandemic, many found solace in her livestreams of songs like “The Night.”
One of the bonus tracks on the re-release of Reckless is the song “Run.” As the title suggests, the song is about escape. The singer in the song yearns for finding a new place to try to get away from the memories of an abusive relationship.
Can we fly somewhere foreign?
You get me high, mess me up until the morning,
‘Cause all I see in every street is where he made me numb;
There’s gotta be somewhere,
Somewhere we can run, we can run.
Wade is currently opening for major artists and promoting her album. If she keeps making honest music like on this album, she will be around for a long time.
Finally, here is a live version of “Run,” where Morgan Wade takes the song into a cover of Elvis Presley’s “Suspicious Minds.” And then she goes into AC/DC’s “All Night Long.” Check it out.
