"Light Years Away" is a song by Dutch disc jockey and producer Tiësto in collaboration with British band Dbx, which is composed of the producers Pete Kirtley and Sacha Collisson and the singer-songwriter John James Newman.
It was released on 28 November 2014 by PM:AM Recordings as the fourth single from Tiësto's fifth studio album, A Town Called Paradise.
It reminds me a little bit of an old Massive Attack track.
"[2] Pete Kirtley from Dbx affirmed in an interview that the song is about "not giving up, even though the path ahead sometimes seems impossible and unreachable".
[3] The music video shows the expedition of a scientist and her white robot on a planet to analyse its composition.
