"Run" Matt Nathanson Ft. Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland)

"Run" - Matt Nathanson ft/Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland)

When most people think of duets, we tend to think of the same overplayed and cliche duets.  You know the one's I'm talking about.....

• "Grease Lighting/You're the one that I want"
• "Picture"
• "Somebody that I used to know"
• "Shallow"

"Run" performed by Matt Nathanson and Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland produced an incredible duet that (it seems) got very little attention.  Now I'll admit, I am not a fan of Sugarland as their hits have been those "ear worm" songs that drive me absolutely insane and are viciously cycled in the grocery stores.
However, Jennifer Nettles does great duets (another I'll include down the road) and is no doubt a talented artist.

I also was not familiar with Matt Nathanson.  Great voice and worthy of looking into.

There is great chemistry with these two and it shows during live performance.

The lyric content is so simplistic, yet contain much depth and takes you on that emotional ride.  This song would absolutely be on my top duet list to perform.

Lyrics: "Run"

I wanna watch you undress
I wanna watch you glow
Let your hair down
All around, and cover us both
You come in a waves
We crash and we roll
You surround me, pull me, drown me then swallow me whole

You turn, turn, turn, turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
I know that it's wrong
Still I run, run, run, run right into you
Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you

Oh oh oh
You pull me in close
And buckle my knees
I shake and I shiver just to feel you breathe
You trace my lines (you trace your lines)
Stirring my soul
Shoot sparks at the heart of the world and I watch it explode
(I watch you yeah I watch you)

You turn, turn, turn, turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
I know that it's wrong
Still I run, run, run, run right into you
Yeah, I run, run, run, run right into you

Oh oh oh
I'm amazing (oh oh oh)
When you're beside me (oh oh oh)
I am so much more

And I feel your fingers
Pound like thunder (oh oh oh)
And I am so much more
I am so much more

You turn, turn, turn, turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
I know that it's wrong
Still I run, run, run, run right into you

You turn, turn, turn, turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
I know that it's wrong
Still I run, run, run, run right into you
I run, run, run, run right into you
Oh love oh love
If I run, run, run, run right back to you

Turning me on
Like a slow fire burn
