1. Forgive And Forget
The opener, sung by me. I get to play the piano on Forgive & Forget and it can be heard in the background. It sets the scene for what to expect for the rest of the album.

2. We Were Meant To Be
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 I are one lead vocals. I wrote this one when I was 20 so it's nice to eventually get it recorded. We're really pleased with the results.

4. Send My Love To You
Simon sings this one. It's one of my favourites and Matt's 12 string really drivs the song on.

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

6. Run And Hide
Title 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 me. This one was done pretty much is one take, which wasn't bad!

8. That's A Lie
One of the songs on 'Run & Hide' that we have been playing in our sets for some time. For the recording we substituted the second electric guitar for an acoustic guitar. 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 - think I wrote this one when I 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 pleased 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's favourite songs. Matt and I 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 we all did.

14. Emma
Quite a haunting song, especially when the backing vocals come in at the end of the song. I tickle the ivories again.

15. Ain't That Just Fine
Last song on the album. Simon really likes this one and it seems a fitting way to end the album.
