About the Song

Far away is a song with a rather simple meaning that I feel was easy to find without being heavy handed in giving its message across. It's message is that no matter how much you try, goals are still far away. Hence the title of the song. No real goal is given in the lyrics, giving the message more of a general meaning. 

The only instrument that is used is acoustic guitar. This, accompanied by the slow tempo and sombre melody, gives the song a very lonely, sad tone. I think that the video should mirror this. We could achieve an effective mirroring of the tone of the song by simply showing loneliness and no real sense of direction in the main character.

There is a long instrumental section towards the end of the song. I think this will be a very important part of the song for us to get right.  Since there are no lyrics in this part the main focus of the audience will be what is on the screen. We will have to use this section to effectively give off the correct tone of the song.

  1. This is ok, but it's all a bit anaemic at the moment - too many general observations and lacking any breadth or close analysis.
