  In 2018, Soul Asylum performed "Runaway Train" during the Super Bowl LII live performance in Minnesota. By this time, the band had released their album "Change of Fortune" in 2016, marking a continuation of their career after the success of their earlier works like "Grave Dancers Union" from 1992. "Runaway Train," one of their most iconic songs, originally gained massive popularity in the early '90s, cementing the band's place in alternative rock history. Performing at such a high-profile event as the Super Bowl showcased the band's enduring appeal and their connection to their home state of Minnesota. Interestingly, "Runaway Train" has an emotional depth tied to its themes of loss and searching for direction, which resonated well with the audience during this notable performance. Their appearance during this popular event capped off a long and varied journey since their breakthrough, highlighting both their legacy and continued relevance in the music industry.
