King's X - Far, Far Away

(LYRICS BELOW)

Track 8 from "Out of the Silent Planet", the debut release from King's X. The title of the album comes from the title of a book of the same name by C.S. Lewis, an author favored by band members Ty Tabor and Jerry Gaskill.

King's X is an American hard rock band that combines progressive metal, funk and soul with vocal arrangements influenced by gospel, blues, and British Invasion pop groups. The band's lyrics are largely based on the members' struggles with religion and self-acceptance.

Since being signed to Megaforce Records in 1987, King's X has released twelve studio albums, one official live album, and several independent releases. The band is currently recording for the InsideOut Music label, and continues to tour with each new release. Early in their major label career, they had many opening slots on arena tours, but lately the band, for the most part, headline their own shows playing mostly clubs and smaller venues.

Each member of the group has recorded solo albums and has made numerous guest appearances on other artists' albums and compilation projects. Doug Pinnick and Ty Tabor also have albums released with side bands that they participate in.

Despite the band members having varying degrees of Christian beliefs through the years and the group having had early dealings in the Contemporary Christian market, the members of King's X have never considered themselves a "Christian" band. However, some of their early lyrical themes (especially the first three albums) have led to some people labeling the group as such, which all three members strongly oppose.

Doug Pinnick--bass, lead & backing vocals (1980--present)
Ty Tabor--lead guitar, backing & lead vocals (1980--present)
Jerry Gaskill--drums, percussion, backing & lead vocals (1980--present)

LYRICS

inside it's lonely i drive my car pass by the signs that speak our past
always remind me can't block it out the story we all knew would last
she was lost yesterday far far away
familiar faces annually haunt me the cold brings seasons of the heart
always reminded can't block it out no one could see it from the start
she was lost yesterday far far away
