"Run to the Water" was the second single from The Distance to Here, Live's fifth studio album from 1999, following "The Dolphin's Cry" out into the world in 2000. Ed Kowalczyk wrote the words and shared the music with Patrick Dahlheimer, Jerry Harrison produced it with the band, Karl Derfler engineered and Tom Lord-Alge mixed, and Martin Weisz directed the video. It's the band in earnest, widescreen mode, built for big rooms.
America never got a commercial single, yet it still reached 14 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and 17 on Mainstream Rock Tracks, plus 10 on Canada's RPM rock report. Elsewhere it was a modest hit, making the top 40 in Australia, Finland and the Netherlands, and in Iceland it sat at number one for three weeks, the band's second chart-topper there in a row.
