Ottawa, Ontario’s Talk "Run Away To Mars" arrives via Capitol. Talk is Nicholas Durocher, who is the multi-instrumental wizard on piano, guitar, drums, bass, banjo, harmonica and even the mandolin. Just over a year ago, he unleashed the eclectic voice and character he’d envisioned for years – Talk – and started asking the questions on social media posts: What if I run away to mars? Would you find me in the stars? Would you miss me in the end if I run out of oxygen when I run away to mars? Durocher explains, "'Run Away To Mars' came to me when I was feeling really alone and isolated. Writing has always been a way for me to process and deal with my emotions, and for this song I pictured myself as far away as humanly possible. In my mind, that was Mars. “I love movies about space and adventure, and I drew inspiration from those worlds to build my own – kind of like a kid making a cardboard rocket ship in his backyard. I just happen to be better at making songs than I am at arts and crafts. As the song started to grow in my head and on paper, it transformed into a love song for humanity. A way to feel, just for a moment, what it would be like to leave it all behind. A love song for Mother Earth." The song has 13+ Million streams to date.
