In about 1993 Huge broke up with a girlfrend of 3 years: Erin. He found this profoundly upsetting but ultimately life-changing as it pulled him out of a rut and got him looking to the rest of his life. Just before the official break-up they were living in two different towns and Huge wrote this as a love song for her, called "Pride of Erin" (how corny). Over the years it has morphed into more of a reflection on long-distant relationships and the longing they create ... so this is the song's current form.
Huge made all the noises on this version, most of which were recorded and engineered by . Drums recorded by Adam Howard.
So Far Away
So far away every day
Close to me suddenly
The whole of my soul. A lonely stance
Distant romance
A blaze of light in the night
Cold and stark in the dark
While seasons change, they enhance
Distance romance.
We call it, oh, our sacred separation.
Two souls as one, forevermore
Our hearts apart.
Is this the closest we can come?
So many parts in my heart
Everything that she means to me.
Those eyes and her smile kept inside.
Romance denied.
We call it, oh, our sacred separation.
Two souls as one, forevermore
But hearts apart
Is this the closest we can come?
So far away every day
She's so far away every day.
