Coheed and Cambria - The Running Free (Official Music Video) 

Some say the reason Claudio became a rock star is because it was the only way he could afford enough shampoo to keep his mane intact.

8 years later and I'm still constantly playing Coheed and Cambria, they have been (and probably will always be) one of my all-time favorites.

Who is here in 2024?

I'm almost at the end of my second tour of Afghanistan. Both times that I've been over here, I haven't allowed myself to listen to this song until I started heading back to the States. The lyrics in the chorus perfectly capture the emotions of a soldier who is finally, FINALLY coming home. "You're going HOME! You're running FREE!"

Combination of Claudio's voice and looks blows my mind a little. I love his voice, don't get me wrong, but I would never guess he had such high voice just judging by his looks.

This song got me through a dark place in my life. Ten years later, I'm still here and stronger than ever. Thank you.

Lyrics for those who are curious All non believers stand aside in fear A new day's marching through the door How could you ever think you might get here? Did it bleed? Was it sore? Through the struggles you've endured You've come so far from innocence Provided all the consequence Only what does it matter now Cause you're coming home You're running free As only you would be if you never owed them anything And now you found your way out In the trust you've seen your path on home Spend your time well before you go You're in hell Your living ends before the engineer What was the motive in this fight? (Did they play you for the weaker of them?) How could you ever think you might get here? Was it greed that pushed your heart through the struggles you've endured? You've come so far from innocence Provided all the consequence Only what does it matter now Cause you're going home You're running free As only you would be if you never owed them anything And now, you found your way out In the trust you've seen your path on home Spend your time well before you go Here in hell (There's a hell in all of us) Spend your time well before you go (There's a hell in all of us) You were lost its all your own (There's a hell in all of us) There are no secrets you can hide From yourself, in your mind Leave the worst of all behind Cause you're going home You're running free As only you would be if you never owed them anything And now, you found your way out In the trust you've seen your path on home Cause you're going home You're running free As only you would be if you never owed them anything And now, you found your path home In the trust you've seen your path on home Spend your time well before you go Here in hell

Just had to sit through a Lady Antebellum commercial to watch this. Dedication.

It took 12 years for me to find this song

JUST NOTICED SOMETHING,FOR THE MOST PART PEOPLE ARE UPBEAT AND POSITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO COHEED AND CAMBRIA I THINK IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THERE FANS.THEY ARE THE BEST BAND IVE EVER HEARD!

" Spend your time well before you go..... " Thats deep brah.. One of my favorite bands. Respect 👏👏👍👍

Your living ends before the engineer. R.I.P Jason 1996 - 2022

RIP Taylor. Unmistakable on this record

Great music. I used to be a music snob but these guys turned my simple mind towards all the glory of music beyond what I thought was music in the mid 2000s. Thank you Coheed and Cambria.

In my opinion C&C are the most underrated band of the last 40 years.

The thing i love about coheed and cambria, is that they have an ability to take you into a whole different world. Very few artists can do this.

Coheed and Cambria always have a place in my heart.

2022 December. Still a banger.

For those unaware, most their albums follow a comic book written by Claudio Sanchez(lead singer) called The Amory Wars.

Just thought I’d stop by here to pay my respects. R.I.P. Taylor.

i’m now 18, and thanks to my amazing mother who has amazing music taste, i’ve been listening to coheed practically my entire life. somehow, though, i never thought to look at pictures of the band or watch the music videos because, i don’t know, i guess i thought i just knew them. never would i have guessed that claudio is one of the most perfect humans on this planet with one of the most beautiful heads of hair i think i’ve ever seen 🤷‍♀️

Rest in eternal peace brother You're running free now. Life is a precious gift folks, take nothing for granted.

One of their best songs, this , Everything Evil, Neverender, The Suffering, damn they have a lot of good songs

I only ever knew this band because of how popular Welcome Home became. Now I'm sold that they are more than just a one-trick pony.

one of the best choruses in living memory

Coheed And Cambria is one of those bands where u have to listen a couple of times to appreciate their music... Coheed's flow of the music composition had always been amazing and cool... His voice may not justify his looks but that what makes him unique.. The whole band is unique...

Hands down one of the best musical rides imaginable!!!

The drain in that tank is so clogged with hair now

Okay so I'm listening to this in my room, and my dad just burst in and started doing air guitar.

my dad got me into this band young, and here we are years later still listening lol

Between the hair, the voice and the guitar, Claudio Sanchez couldn't be more of an 80s throwback and I mean that in a good way for once.

Its so wild that this was the song that got me into Coheed and Cambria but the one I least listened to afterwards.

his hair is so fab how come no one else is noticing

Been listening for a long time. I have my dad to thank for building my awesome taste in music

Claudio = Musical Genius!

Been with me for 15 years. Can't thank you enough Coheed & Cambria

I love this song. Then one day I got all the albums. Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness, Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, Year of The Black Rainbow, The Afterman Ascension and Descension, and I have never looked back since. This is literally one of my favorite bands. And the story, God, the story is great. Coheed and Cambria fan for life

Honestly... this is one of my favourite songs to this date... so uplifting.. lyrics have such depth...when i have a shitty day.. this uplifts me from such depression...life sucks and never gives any leeway..i can honestly.. come home listen to this and make me so happy...Vevo is only the catalyst but Coheed and Cambria... is just happiness for me..thank you..

I moved to Oregon a long time ago. Quickly went through starvation and faced homelessness from inconsistent work. When I finally knew I was heading home l this was my most played song

This song came out when my kid was about 6-7 months old, I had PND and felt so alone and hated myself for it. Every lunch time MTV2 would play the rock chart, this video would come on and I would dance around the room, sing it (badly!) to my daughter which would make her laugh and I could feel like myself again for a few minutes. Music can do wonderful things :)

THIS song is always in my head, VERY TELLING, I love it, my favorite right now!

New fan. Eating everything up. This is a fav

awesome song.... one of the best in NHL 09

Love this band. Wonder if Claudio has ever met with Geddy Lee of Rush. Channels Geddy uncannily!

This song being on the setlist last tour really was a pleasant surprise I gotta admit 💯 🤘

Thank you, Taylor.

this song still haunts me in the best ways.

Damn that chorus is just great!!!!

First time I heard the guys I kind of shrugged them off...sooooo glad I gave them a second chance.

Being that I live in New Jersey, I've been listening to these guys for over 20 years. They Have Not Disappointed me once.

21 years ago, a friend at school showed me "Devil in Jersey City" and I haven't looked back. Every single album these guys come up with is gold. They blur genres and are, in my opinion, on the 'Mount Rushmore' of all time best bands. Incredible.

Song reminds me of my late mom... Your running free as you only would be if you never owed them anything........just like you lived your life.... ❤️

Such a classic

Dat hair Dat voice Just... Wow xD

Man I love the sound of this band. Always takes me back to good place when ever I find them again.

My 8 yr old LOVES liars club 🔥🤘

The bass sounds fucking awesome during the chorus! 🔥🔥🔥

I love this bassline, it's so natural. Like breathing.

I'm black and I am a die hard fan. Listen to something more aggressive, calibrate, then judge. Rock is not easy, it's commitment. I can't down you because this band is the best. Keep rockin, (BTW Claudio is hispanic so it's not that strange.)

This song got me through my last semester in college back in 08. 10 years later it's helping me get through my first year of teaching.

This song makes me indescribably happy and hopeful for some reason, idk what the song's actually about, but it makes me feel good about life >;D

just love Coheed and Cambria 🖤

RU-vid's algorithm is broken..this deserves more likes and view their songs are a masterpiece. The lyrics are meaningful in a mysterious way.. I can say their works are a masterpiece and a work of a genius. Best band ever👌

Coheed and Cambria, in my opinion, is the best band I've had the privilege of listening to. I'm so proud of Claudio Sanchez!

That intro is just 👌

This song is absolutely legend!!

Oh man.... This came out in 2009? Hello from the future

My niece introduced me to a band she found today. I decided to show her my disk collection of Coheed. Also lent her the Amory wars to get her caught up. Thanks coheed for giving us something to relate to

Amo demais coheed and combria 😍🖤🖤

i love this song 💜

I came here for the comments and I was not disappointed.

To hear his sweet voice with the partnership of that mane he’s like the alpha lion with a kittens meow💕

ahhh good feels trip

Probably the best song they’ve ever made. Utterly amazing, what a track!!

Back in high school our guitarist Ryan covered this song with another band for a battle of the bands. It came out about how you think it would, but it was a ton of fun! Love these guys.

The music video really adds on so much more feels to the song. One of my favourites!

they should just release the part with claudio swinging his hair out of his face and call it "claudios struggle with gravity" no music or anything just behind the scenes of that one part of the video

I would love to see this story become a movie series with their music as the soundtrack.

Wow ive seen this video a lot and just noticed the drummer wasn't josh..im glad he got his life together and can rock out with his brothers

My mom showed me this song and now I can't stop listening. So good.

im not meaning to be one of those weirdos that r like im 12 and like this stuff but im 10 and i love Coheed and Cambria

they are a bad ass band!

Digging deep into my nostalgia bag here but I only found out about this song from an online dancing game called Audition back in 2008-2009.

My favorite by them. Such a great song that hits home alot.

oh the nhl nostalgia

When i first heard this song i couldnt stand the high pitched voice. but coming back almost 2-3 years later i now can really stard to appreciate the thyere style of music. but it still need to grow on me but its all going well :)

Still as amazing as the first time I heard it! Even better now when I've been through more stuff!❤

I'm glad Josh is back but Chris Penny will always have as special place in my heart!

I bet Claudio has a tough time at swimming pools.

Pretty sure that Claudio is a werewolf.

Coheed and Cambria! First song I heard from them was this on Chart Attack YTV.

Just saw them live and it was probably the best shows I have ever been to.

I wish the videos followed the over-arching story of the albums

If Coheed makes a greatest hits album, they're just going to have to put all their songs on one CD.

And to watch them live... They are as how they sound on their recording... Amazing band...

Got the tattoo! Love these guys, their story, the message, AND ESPECIALLY, the hair!

I discovered Coheed through Game Grumps and I have been listening to them religiously since

2019 and still listening to this masterpiece🤙🏽

My favorite band of all time. Nothing compares.

This was the first coheed & cambria song I've ever heard. Still as awesome when I heard it six years ago!
