Raymond Revel - Running from Reality
“Running from Reality” is the latest release from Raymond Revel, a singer-songwriter originally from Burbank, California. The song was released on May 9, 2020.
Right away, the airy, dreamy piano in the introduction draws you in - a taste of things to come throughout the rest of the track. As the song progresses into the chorus, the instruments build which strengthens the song’s character and helps emphasize the emotions presented by the lyrics. Lyrically, the song is about finding love in a dream and trying to escape from reality to dream of that love again; Revel presents the idea that searching for love in this manner may be truly unreachable, no matter how badly one may want it, a message that definitely resonates with me.
“Running from Reality” would fit in well on a playlist with tracks from artists like Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Sam Smith, thanks to its straightforward but well-polished presentation. You can find “Running from Reality” embedded below, or check out more of his music on his website.
