Joe Doonan explores fear and connection on latest release “on the run”

Joe Doonan's latest release, "on the Run" explores the uneasy terrain of intimacy, fear, and emotional attachment. The imagery is immediate, placing the listener on frozen water in the sun before moving into darker, deeper emotional territory. The key ambiguity in the song is "What if our hearts are tangled up now? / How will we untie?," what if the connection is too deep to untie? The tension in the song is the need for another person and the question of whether your voice can survive in that connection. "On the Run" is open and thoughtful, reaching for fears best left unspoken.
