1. Forgive And Forget
The opener, sung by Spencer and backed up by Luke and Matt in the chorus. This one features Spencer on piano, which can we heard in the background. It sets the scene for what to expect for the rest of the album.

2. We Were Meant To Be
This one is a bit of a duet between Luke and Spencer - Luke taking the verses and Spencer on the middle 8. We've been playing this one at our gigs for sometime now and it's great to finally get it down on CD.

3. Have Me Back Again
Matt and Spencer sing. Spencer wrote this one when he was 20 so it's nice to finally get it recorded.

4. Send My Love To You
Simon sings this one. Luke does the upper harmony - their voices really work well together.

5. You've Got To Choose
Man Of Few Words Part II!! Got the same feel as MOFW, although this time the song is sung by Matt.

6. Run And HideTitle track of the album. No particular reason for this, except it seemed to make a good album title. We're all really pleased with this song - Matt plays some great guitar and Simon is going nuts on the instrumental break!

7. Rumours And Lies
A slower number, sung by Spencer. This one was done pretty much is one take, which wasn't bad!

8. That's A Lie
Duet between Luke and Spencer. We've substituted the second electric guitar for an acoustic guitar and we really like it. Check out the "weeeelllll" at the start - it took us ages to get it right!!!

9. It's You Girl
One of the Fore's management team's favourite songs, but not one that we usually play live. This is the oldest song on the album - Spencer wrote this one when he was just 14.

10. Lazy Day
One of the features of Run And Hide is the use of piano. Although we're releasing the album in the winter 'Lazy Day' has a summer feel to it. Definitely different from our usual sound and one that we're really pleqased with.

11. Leave Me Alone
A real punchy song, which we often play in our live sets. Ends with a great harmony which sets the scene for...

12. No Other Love
One of Matt and Luke's favourite songs. Matt and Spencer duet and Matt gets out the 12 string guitar again from the Black And White sessions.

13. Tell Your Friend
Another Matt solo song and another song done in one take. Good job too - Si wouldn't have been happy doing too many takes on this one! Features some mean handclaps on it, which all four us did.

14. Emma
Quite a haunting song, especially when Matt and Luke's backing vocals come in at the end of the song. Piano is played by Spencer

15. Ain't That Just Fine
Last song on the album. Sung by Luke and backed up by Matt and Spencer. Simon really likes this one and it seems a fitting way to end the album.

So which song is MY favourite? Tricky one, really, all the songs have good points for me. Since I wrote them all the reasons why I like songs might differ from why others might have a favourite. At the moment though I'm really pleased with Rumours & Lies, Forgive & Forget and It's You Girl. I'll leave you to decide which is your favourite songs :)
