Many the miles”

“I find the map and draw a straight line, over rivers, farms, and state lines.
The distance from A to where you’d B, it’s only finger-lengths that I see.”
It starts so simply.
Voices, piano, the occasional guitar and it just builds up.
It’s peaks and falls in the most gorgeous ways and the lyrics are just so touching.
It’s like a fist around your heart.
It really gets the loneliness, the pain of seeing other people that are happy, the inability to really see the distance for what it is.
But most of all, you can really tell that the couple just really wants to be where they belong, in their lover’s arms.

“And yes, you’re in my head.
But that doesn’t make you here.”
The Arcade Fire has been one of my favorite songs for a long time but this is the song that hooked me.
The slow guitar in the beginning, the simplicity of the voices, the amazing lyrics, all of it melds together to form the perfect anthem for love that’s far, far away.
It really just makes you want to get in your car and drive as many miles as you need to to get to the one you love.    
8. SEE YOU SOON: COLDPLAY
“I’ll be doing my best.
I’ll see you soon, in a telescope lens.”
Coldplay’s music is always interesting.
This song is about more than just long distance love, it’s about the other person losing faith in you.
And at some point, you’ll have to go back and give it right back to them.
It’s another wonderfully crafted piece.     9. TRAIN SONG: BEN GIBBARD AND FEIST
“It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you.
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you, But suddenly now, I know where I belong, It’s many hundred miles and it won’t be long.”
It’s haunting and lovely, those are the only two words I can use to describe this song.
Ben Gibbard and Feist both have such unique voices that blend so perfectly.
It covers that feeling of insecurity that long distance love can bring so well.
It kind of makes me want to hop on a train for fifty-five hours and just listen to this song on repeat until I get to my destination.     10. TWO TOWNS FROM ME: BLIND PILOT
“Tie it down, Wait it out, Hope our memories hold.”
This is the only song that has even touched on the fact that sometimes distance can pull you apart more than just physically.
He’s hoping that even though they’re leading separate lives she remembers that they’re together and in love.
Hopefully the memories hold and they can stay together.
It’s perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjgQ2cs_G3k
