So Far Away (Staind song)

"So Far Away" is a song by American rock band Staind, released on June 23, 2003[1] as the second single from their fourth album 14 Shades of Grey.

In May 2021, for the 40th anniversary of Mainstream Rock Tracks, Billboard ranked "So Far Away" at number 20 on its list of the 100 most successful songs in the chart's history;[2][3] in September 2023, the magazine ranked the song at number 89 on a similar retrospective list for the 35th anniversary of Modern Rock Tracks (which by then had been renamed to Alternative Airplay).

The song was featured in the ninth episode of the third season of the series Smallville, and was used for a TV spot for the 2004 Marvel superhero film The Punisher.

The song was also featured on twelfth episode of the fourth season of the TV series SEAL Team.

The music video for the song was directed by Nigel Dick, and is a collage of clips of the band's live performances, some shots of Aaron Lewis' oldest daughter Zoe Jane (who was 1 at the time of filming), and other tour footage.
