Watch M. Ward: “The First Time I Ran Away” (video)

The first taste of the new M. Ward video, part his upcoming A Wasteland Companion release due out on Apr 10. The video is for the song "The First Time I Ran Away," an animated story in three parts that shows a sort of life story of someone who first travels away from home, then goes to war, finally dying. Each of these are the "running away" from something that the title suggests, all wrapped up in an asian-influenced animation. High-art props. A Wasteland Companion features many guests, including Zooey Deschanel and Steve Shelley.
