So Far from Home is the first installment in a space-themed trilogy released by Christian rock band Brave Saint Saturn.
This release contains fewer elements of the trilogy's plot that was developed in the two subsequent albums, opting for a more general feeling of darkness and loneliness.
Lyricist Reese Roper shows his typical awareness of social issues, albeit with an unusual melancholy.
[4] "Under Bridges" samples clips from the Apollo 8 Genesis reading[1] and tackles homelessness, through a contemporary interpretation of the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats.
[4] "Two-Twenty-Nine" keeps with the space theme, beginning with a clip from the countdown sequence of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and relays the personal loss of his grandmother.
