Running is defined as the fastest means for an animal to move on foot. It is defined in sporting terms as a gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground at the same time.
"Run 2" was New Order's third and final single from 1989 album Technique. It is remixed by Scott Litt from the version on Technique, hence the appendage of "2" to the title. The main difference is that the song has been made more radio-friendly by replacing the long instrumental run-out with another repeat of the chorus. After the release, the folk singer John Denver sued the group, claiming the song, in particular the instrumental part, sounded too similar to his hit "Leaving on a Jet Plane". The case was settled out of court, and as a result the single has been out of print ever since. The track lists to Singles and the U.S. version of The Best of New Order claim to include the "2" version when in fact both are the album mix. The shorter "2" version does appear in the video however, which features a young girl juxtaposed with an old man. Peter Saville, the single's cover designer, claimed to have been inspired by the design of laundry powder packaging. The tiny print on the back of the sleeve says, "Cover by Peter Saville Associates after Bold."
The b-side is a song titled "MTO", speculated to be an acronym for "Mid Tempo One" or "Much Too Old" (though it is also quite possible that the initialism's usual meaning, "Made To Order", is implied as a self-deprecating joke by the group). "MTO" recycles the line "You've got love technique" from the group's previous hit single "Fine Time" (this is the only lyric in the track). Alternate mixes of both songs also make an appearance. Only 20,000 of the Factory 12" release were ever pressed, and had the catalogue number FAC 273. 500 7 inch records were also pressed, for promotional use.
"Run" is the second single from Snow Patrol's third album, Final Straw. It brought the band its first taste of mainstream success, reaching #5 on the UK charts.
Run is a single released by the Australian rock band Cog in August, 2005. It is the only CD single to be lifted from the The New Normal album.

The single peaked at #5 in the Australian Independent Recordings singles/EPs chart.
Run is a song recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It first appeared in George Strait's album The Road Less Traveled. The song reached #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs and Radio & Records charts, but reached #1 on the now-defunct Gavin Report charts.
"Run" is the tenth single by 1960s British girl singer Sandie Shaw. With its thunder and lightning effects, Shaw herself was not particularly interested in recording the song, but her songwriter Chris Andrews insisted that it should be done. It gave her her lowest UK chart placing since the start of her career - peaking only at Number 32. She has stated however that the B-side, "Long Walk Home," is one of her favourite tracks recorded in the 60s.
On the Microsoft Windows operating system, the Run command is used to directly open an application or document whose path is known.
