So Far Away, the first track of a beautifully arranged & written album, Brothers In Arms, released in 1985 by the legendary Dire Straits.
Knopfler wrote the song about a long distance relationship, opened a set that would become one of the bestselling records of all time.
'So Far Away' is something I would want to apply to anybody,” said Knopfler in a BBC interview.
“Quite apart from anything else, we are now a world of travellers and air travellers. Families are split up in different parts, all over the place, and it has relevance.”
Knopfler was successful about his purpose, long-distance relationships are always the toughest ones for people and I am quite sure the song's lyrics apply to everyone who's in this position.
