Legendary singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless recently released her latest single “Runaway.” The song marks her second single off of her upcoming album Nothing’s Gonna Stand In My Way Again, due out September 22 on Bloodshot Records. The first single off the album was “Toothache.”
Speaking about the new song, Loveless explains a little bit of her writing process with this song. “This was one of the very first songs I wrote for this record,” Loveless says. “I hated it, but my friend Amy was giving me assignments and pushing me to write my way through heartache while I was crashing on her couch. She would send me out with a notebook and tell me not to come back until I had something. Eventually this one grew on me and is now actually my favorite to sing on the whole record. It’s deeply personal and gut-wrenching to perform. It’s about not wanting my relationship to end but knowing things weren’t ever going to improve. I’m especially proud of the instrumentation, particularly the guitar part at the end that had everyone calling me Mark Knopfler when I came out of the booth.”
You can preorder the album from the official Lydia Loveless web store. Follow Loveless on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for future updates.
