“Far Away” is an original song about one of our past experiences of having a transfer student fatefully join our friend group but moving away only after creating a lifetime's worth of memories within a short period of time together. This friendship and experience has taught us numerous things including the importance of valuing the people surrounding us and the presence of them in our lives. We were able to realize that the time we have left together with the people around us is never promised because of the way they could leave our lives at any moment at all. As high school students, we felt that many others, especially those near our age, could relate or even learn from this experience of ours. Thus, we decided to create a music video that portrays our past friendships and experiences. We hope our song and video can touch someone in any way or even just entertain them as a song from our hearts.
