VULFPECK /// Running Away (feat. Joey Dosik, David T. Walker & James Gadson) 

dream come true

Me: "I should put together a music playlist filled with lots of variety." *fills it all with Vulfpeck*

This is like having Whitney and Beyonce as your backup singers.

James Gadson roccking the classic weekend dad look, with the unbuttoned shirt, and the giant-ass-phone-that-my-son-got-for-me on the front shirt pocker

that theo/antwaun/joey sound can't be real

Antwaun Stanley on backing vocals. _Backing_ vocals!

This song was playing in Kohl's today, I told my girlfriend that it was Vulfpeck with Joey Dosik on vocals, she said stop being a know it all.

How is this song so open, so honest, so funky, so soulful, so warm, so crisp, so conversational... so perfect? Not often a song connects with me like this. Thanks for the tunes boys, a fan forever.

YEAH WOODY YOU SIT IN THAT CORNER AND QUIETLY SLAY

The loudness wars are over, the answer is clear, we've been unified under one flag: VULF COMPRESSOR

Just hit me, James Gadson and David T Walker where making great music in studio before any of these other guys on this track were even born. Still at it today and sounding great.

This is the closest thing we have to a modern Motown

ughh david t walker with the tastiest licks

Vulfpeck is one of the things that makes me keep believing the future is bright

DT Walker is just incredible. He floats above the rest of the arrangement but still perfectly fits in.

Sigmund Freud on the guitar

I feel I’m witnessing the birth of a modern day Motown. I’m stoked for the future of music.

Concrete in the kick drum because this groove ain't running nowhere.

James Gadson on your song. Life forever fulfilled

i don't know what's best about Vulfpeck, their music by itself or the fact that I've learned more about music/been introduced to more great musicians through their collabs and Prof. Jack than any other band, all in the space of about 4 months

Jack bringing the ultimate low volume instrument: air drums.

Cellist looks like he just got off a scaffold in a New Yorker cartoon

Gadson's drumming and hairpiece are still top notch. That's comforting.

Every 3,407 years a team of musicians assemble and open a sonic gateway to Nirvana in order to remind humans that hope and love exist as forces in the universe. This time, lucky for us mere mortals, someone was rolling tape and the phenomenon was captured on film.

J A M E S !

You maybe cool but you'll never be cool as joe Dart strumming on the bass with his legs crossed cool.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. If Antwaun Stanley and Theo Katzman are your backup singers, you are something special.

The ultimate "thinking about her" song ...

Joey played that song opening for the Vulf in Amsterdam. There were no survivors.

Cello on a yoga ball, concrete in a bass drum, apparating sax player... after all these volumes, who knew it could STILL get funkier???

One of my favorite Vulfpeck pieces, can't count how many times I've replayed it. Mr. Walker and Mr Gadson were 76 and 78 years young when this was made. Amazing.

James Gadson and David T. Walker with Vulfpeck !!! The Motown spirit is definitely here ! I'm so happy I would cry.

that sax coming in at the end was H O T

That snare tone is pure magic.

It always crack me up to see the how chill David T Walker and James Gadson are, and then we pan to Joe with the neck moves. Winning it everyday, Joe Dart!

I don't care what anyone says. This IS the best recording of Running Away.

I love the shot where it pans the whole band and then Woody is just there in the corner.

I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant now.

This is so good. Did I travel back to the 70's?? Best modern soul I have heard.

I like to think that if Marvin Gaye was still alive Vulfpeck would collab with him

joe. dart. on the short. scale. bass

Mr. Finish Line is going to be the album to save 2017

If this came out in the 70s it'd be a global classic

this drum groove inspired me to pick up the drums again after 12 years...

The snare tone 🤤

David T. Walker definitely aint making me run away from this song

This song is like a time machine. Click play and suddenly it's 1969 and Motown is topping the charts. Great stuff!

5 years and 500 listens later I'm still blown away by this Arrangement every time

Are we just not going to acknowledge that cello?

Mr. Finish Line is gonna be my favorite album this year

Wurlitzers are such treasures

I came here because James Gadson is here, and now I've added some new musical friends into my life..... Thanks and Blessings Y'all.....

james gadson is a true master of drums!

THE James Gadson. Wow.

David T. Walker......Melted butter. Nuff' said.

This song is a masterpiece. Maybe even their magnum opus. But who knows if that'll be true forever? It looks like their songs just keep getting better. Let's see them top this one.

did those harmonies travel here in a dang time machine?

Man, this is song is a blessing to my ears. Song after song after song... amazement!

David T. Walker & James Gadson LEGENDS

This is f*cking fantastic, guys. Joey is an extremely talented singer and songwriter, and his performance in this was absolutely captivating. Whoever the cameraman is knows this group's dynamics very well, as they capture the many truly magical moments: Here are the ones i have observed thus far. 0:23 That whole-band tension as joe starts up the bassline. 0:28 nice edit to a shot of intense concentration from everyone. 0:35-0:50 Joe, David and James are already locked in tighter than a virgin wearing a chastity belt. 0:55 David's expression. 1:02-1:12 Jack and Gabe appreciate the groove. 1:25-1:35 James feels the emotion behind the lyrics, he's watching Antwuan and Theo. Winces a little bit but never skips a beat. 1:39 Antwuan watches Joey sing the line "i try not to expect much anymore". 1:48-1:53 Joey sings. 1:54-2:10 Lead and backup call and respond, then intertwine. 2:11-2:40 David's guitar face and Joe's bass neck steal the show, this is my favourite moment in this video. I could watch this bit over and over. 2:42 Intense concentration and sick drumming from James as he watches the singers intently, glaces at the camera for a split second 2:58 That Lo-fi drumkit though... 3:16 cello slide 3:19 guitar slide The rest of the video is constant pan shots and cuts to incredible moments. (Yes, I realize that at this point I have classified most of the video as "truly magical" but I couldn't think of any I could remove.) 4:25 Ending few moments, shot cuts from Joey sitting on the wurli, to joey playing sax with woody on the wurli, which tells us they probably did a full take with joey on sax. Jack, if it exists, PLEASE give us this track. I know Joey's singing is too good to not be on this track but it can't hurt to let us hear the alternate take. I think if would be sweet to hear as an instrumental as well. Just a thought. Also, I COULD be wrong. Maybe you just laid down the sax sections in isolation, but i don't think that's the Stratton way. His A&R on this couldn't be clearer. I think he'd just get the band to play the whole track and have Joey lay down the sax parts when they come up. The more natural way. I know it exists, Jack, and I want to hear it.

Wow...proper Soul Music. Transported me back to the '70's and the great vocal bands. Spinners, Temptations, O Jays, et al. One of the few forms of music Americans get to call their own.

Such Al green/Marvin vibes from this! You guys a legendary and I was taken back by joeys voice

Dearest Vulfpeck, please come visit the UK soon. We need your music again.

Dosik sounds like an angel!

just when you think they can't get any more smoother this happens

Dont know how many times i've got this on repeat. i listen to it daily to lift up my mood.

“I try not to expect much any more”…for some dammed reason that line slays me. Brilliant stuff. Manages to be bang up to date whilst still making me feel like reminiscing. Class act.

Beautiful feeling

Oh shit the boys got a new camera

One does not simply skip out on a new Vulfpeck video

Most underrated A&R success of this century, right here. Hands down. The results... Remarkable.

That is the widest short scale I've ever heard and I'm always coming back for it

Sosick Dosick with those Voc-licks

@4:25 how does joey switch instruments so fast!? crazy talent!

This is healing music

I think this might be the perfect song. I can’t stop listening to it.

IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT THOSE GUITAR EMBELISHMENTS???!!!!

What a line up. Those gadson hits🤩

Honestly who could thumbs this down? This is the last pure thing..

this is ART.. young musicians : listen!! understand!!

Reviving a lost genre, thank you.

Good song

The switch from 16th notes to 8th notes on the hi hat at 2:51 kills me everytime

Love that is all one take with warts and all (David T. Walker mishaps)

This group this sound is everything we need in this world.. its pure love and compassion!! I thank Patrick for opening my ears to such sweet funky soulful sounds!! Keep doing what you do for me VulfPeck!!!

Anytime you think about her the feelings there she's thinking about you about you Anytime you see her in the street what choice is there she's gotta see you after you're through I gotta believe it baby that your thinking about me maybe I don't know what you're thinking about on any other day when you keep on Running Away Running Away you're Running Away I try not to expect much anymore It's over now but what was it all for what was it all for And i'll always care about you baby The feelings here we grew it too long to say it's gone it's gone I gotta believe it baby That your thinking about me maybe I don't know what you're thinking about on any other day when you keep on Running Away Running Away you're Running Away And i don't mind thinking about her as long as she's thinking about me bout me I gotta believe it baby That your thinking about me maybe I don't know what you're thinking about on any other day when you keep on Running Away Running Away you're Running Away Running Away

David T. Walker. One of the badddest guitarist. I remember when he came out with the album "The Sidewalk". Unique touch, sound and approach to his instrument. Youngsters, pay attention.

When a song made in 2018 sounds like its from the 60s-80s, you're onto something. Masterpiece!

Love to see the old timers tearing it up: bringing the chops, bringing the wisdom, bringing the class.

Didn't realize this song could get better. DAMN

I melt every time I hear this song.

Thinking ..this is one of the best song of last 30 years .. THANKS Guys

Jack's grinning head bob at 03:56 pretty much describes the mood

I have never seen a more stacked collab in my life.

My favorite one of all! This is when I found Vulfpeck!

Incredible, the new era of music is here.....at last.

I'm not in love with anyone at the moment. But now I am. At least that's what it feels like when I listen to this tune. Music/Art creating feeling.

We need more Joey on the vocals.

Yup! There is still good in this world.

I've listened to this song so many times, but it's the first I picked up on that tasty guitar lick at 2:49. Sultry.
