When John Owen wrote and recorded 10 songs in Snowdonia, North Wales for his project Chimes In The Sky he wanted the songs to capture the setting and the mood of the locale, the beauty and the melancholy and the loneliness and alienation that arises from such a moment. Second single release ‘Far From You’ encaptures all of the above perfectly.
Beautifully haunting, ‘Far From You’ is soaked in sadness. It’s a track that is full of isolation, a song that is perfect for those early Sunday morning hours when you are winding down from a fun night out with friends. You’ve laughed, you’ve danced and you’ve not wanted the night to end. But now at home you know the weekend is in it’s final stages. Monday will soon be here and the daily grind of work/education starts again. Next weekend feels far away. Five long days until you get to be with the people you love once again.
If you’re feeling a little sad, or even just want to feel relaxed, then give this song a go. You won’t be disappointed.
