Listener Reviews & Comments I remember back in 1983 when 'Running for Our Lives' was released as a single. It had the most beautiful strong chorus, and overall a damn good single. It didn't get the ariplay it deserved but still charted reasonably well. These days you'd be unlikely to hear it on the radio, but that's ok as it makes it so much more special to hear it now. I awlays wanted to get this album which featured it, but didn't as I didn't know enough about Marianne's music. The other day I saw it brand new in the shop for a very reasonable price, so grabbed it. I thought if 'Running for our Lives' is the only good track on it then that would be ok as it didn't cost me much. BUT - what a bonus to find that the whole album is brilliant! I just can't believe how timeless it is, doesn't sound like the kind of music there was in 1983. Listen out for gems such as Morning Come, and Times Square. I am going to buy 'Broken English' next, another classic, I believe from what I read.
