Synopsis

A young couple moves through a hazy coastal landscape as daylight fades, their journey shaped by the uncertainty of a relationship that may already be slipping away. Images of the pair, open roads, shoreline views, and glowing sunsets give the video a wistful, romantic quality. Rather than presenting a detailed narrative, the clip works as an atmospheric portrait of two people trying to escape the past and hold on to one another before the night carries them in different directions.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was released in 2016 to promote "Running In The Night," a track from FM-84's debut album, *Atlas*. The song was released on April 25, 2016.
  • The official video premiered through the NewRetroWave channel on May 7, 2016, helping introduce the song to a much wider synthwave audience.
  • Heaven Criss and Colin Wood appear on screen. The production credits also list Brad A. Kinnan, Rony Portillo, and Jake Russell for camera work.
  • Colin Bennett edited the video. Bennett is the musician behind FM-84, making the clip a particularly direct visual extension of the project's sound and identity.
  • "Running In The Night" was the first song Ollie Wride and Colin Bennett wrote together. Wride later explained that he spent about two weeks reworking the instrumental at the piano before developing the chorus, verse melody, and lyrics.
  • The song's writing credits belong to Colin Bennett and Ollie Wride, while Wride provided the lead vocals and lyrics.
  • The video runs for approximately four and a half minutes and emphasizes atmosphere over conventional performance footage, matching the song's nostalgic, cinematic synthwave style.

Lyrics

I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn’t get enough
Thinking that we would last forever
Don’t know what you’re thinking of
Slipping further out of reach
To the edge of town we could go
Away from all the world to see

You were wild trying to set yourself free
I didn’t see the signs right in front of me

Oh, I’m running in the night so soon
I’ve got nothing left to lose
