A very sentimental song for me.. I was 13, my dad had just died, and I was with my mom travelling around alot for that next year, not sure where we were going to live... if we were going to live. This song was soothing, sad, yet spiritual enough to allow me some early wisdom that made me prod on through that time. So Far Away made me cry my eyes out, and I feel more of a man than ever for going through it early and intense enough.
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS ON THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. NOW, YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SCARY
I agree...thank you so much for posting this. I absolutely LOVE Rod's version of this classic. I didn't even know there WAS a video for it. You made my day.
I'll never forget... madison sq.. and seeing you in concert... lol... I was 21 and now 44.... and now living in in Iowa!! LOL... BUT WHAT CONCERT!! AND 2 GREAT YEARS OF NY~~ TC
Rod Stewart did this song justice with this version that is just as good, if not better than the original version. Perfect transition of an older song that fits right well with the new era.
its amazing how history repeats itself... love how this song got better and better in time.. carol king(70's)---->rod stewart(90's)------>bamboo(2000's)
im am a 52 year old black female and i just want to let you know that i love everything about your heart because i feel it too your friend annette from detroit loving you all the time but your so far away 2011.........
Thanks for posting this it was what came to mind tonight when I found out my husband whose deployed was being extended on time. Glad to find the version I had in my head.
I have a girlfriend in The Dominican Republic and I just played this song on the telephone for her and it brought tears to both our eyes..... who says Love stinks? J. Geils? not everytime it doesnt.... appreciate what you have even if it is far away because it could be so close and looking you in the eye and you wont apprecate it like you should..... One of the great voices of our times......
I would like to say that there are many songs that I love and cherished from this man, but this remake is one of the most touching songs Rod has ever done.
its so heartfelt and deep that one can not but feel move from his voice. the video captures the mood so well that it is just icing on the cake to make this whole experience complete!
this is the first time i have heard this song and it is beautiful,pity the so called stars of today cannot write or sing songs like this,as the saying goes,the older the fiddle the sweater the tune,nuff said from ireland.
it is really stupid for the record companies to force people to take down songs on youtube.....they are shooting themselves in the foot. I have purchased endless songs from hearing them on youtube
has any one else heard of the song "my girl" that he wrote for his daughter? i cant find it any where and i really want to listen to it because it was dedicated 2 me once and the person who dedicated it to me had it on cd but i dont know what it was called. its an import from usa
@clickmiester : Hi clickmiester. "my girl" is on Rod's album, Foolish Behaviour. I've got in on vinyl. I love it too. Presume you can download it from various sites. Hope this helps, let me know.
"Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?" Sadly not, well in some cases it's good but with me it's not, miss too many people. Great song, interesting to see Rod with a beard.
suchh a beatifull songg ;) to my family guerrero && cantu family all my blessing are to you all and most importantly to my love for my mother && father elijio&&eva cantu rest in peace mommy andd daddy you will always be in my heart and soul you both bring me joy-Alice cantu guerrero
love the original but for some reason this one just speaks to me more dunno why thanks haven't been able to find this cover anywhere been looking forever again thanks so much :)
This is so beautiful. I havent been around for this time when the song came out. But I heard it on the radio though and when I heard it I immeadiately fell in love with it. I LOVE this song!!!!
@RaptorJesus720 Your right it does usually get pulled. However I filed a counter claim. & won the counter. So it will stay up until I close my channel. Thank you for your comment. Cindy
@nightfawn27 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS UP! I have been wanting this video on youtube forever! But why does it usually get pulled? I've always loved this song, especially on rainy days...
@SLAPDASHdiiip The reason it always gets pulled is due to the fact that whoever post it has to file a counter claim as it gets hit by WMG. Without filing a DMCA it will not stay up long.
Andando por ahí de seguro me hace sentir triste y sola
No tengo nada más que hacer tan solo pensar en otra cosa
Espero que tampoco yo me tenga que ir
Porque tengo tantos sueños que quiero cumplir
