I was raised in the projects in a single parent home. I was bullied everyday and talked down to by my teachers. I would play this song everyday as loud as I could, dreaming of a way out. I am now an engineer with a wife and 4 kids. We don’t live in the project, I own a house. My kids don’t have do homework by candle light or worry about when/where their next meal will come from. I can provide for their every need. When life got hard I would play this song and dream about a better life. I’ve been blessed. Thanks for this song.

Staind, Chevelle and other bands helped me through my darkest days in the early 2000’s. Failed marriage, failed relationships. So bad that I was close to being homeless. Music like this helped me thru the bad. Within years, I met the lady that would be my wife. Showing me how to love. How to live. Always pushing me to be a better man. 13 years later, I can never imagine what life would be without her. 2 amazing kids. A great Job. It’s something I could never dream of. Thankful everyday.

@@anushasharma9946 This song is a mixed bag for me. You see, I was a shaken baby, and so the words, "somebody shake me cause I, I must be sleeping..." and "I'm so afraid of waking, please don't shake me!" are especially poignant to me, and not always in a good way. In fact, they quite often remind me of my disability that was the result of shaken baby syndrome. At the same time, however, I love Staind and Aaron Lewis. They have so many songs that speak volumes to me, and I even went to an acoustic concert of his in Portland many years ago. Everything I know about him, everything I have heard, speaks of a good, caring person that puts his heart and his soul into his music... which is why I can listen to this song because I know he doesn't mean it as a way to hurt someone but as a way to simply wake them up. When I listen to "So Far Away," I do so to remind myself that life has BOTH good and bad, and we need both. Without the bad times, we won't recognize the good... and while it is hard for me to listen to, it's sometimes a message that I need to remind myself of.

R.I.P. Master Jon Wysocki, awesome drummer .

RIP Jon Wysocki The late 90's, the music, was a special time, a special space.

I struggled with severe severe addiction in my past, and this song will forever be so special to me.. an anthem for overcoming, facing your demons, starting clean. Forgiving myself and forgiving others... if your struggling, you can make a way. You can fight your way back into the light and create a life you couldn’t have even dreamed of. I’m rooting for you.

30 year old and can still feel how this hurts how if I was 17! Love you JM wherever you are...

everyone in the comments, I've noticed there's no trolls usually when it comes to these types of songs. Everyone just genuinely is here to listen to some old school alternative and everyone respects the artist and the song. I feel like ppl who like these songs so much and like these bands are empaths. We feel everything so deeply. And thats why we all get along

This is one of those songs you listen to when your at the bottom of your life and when you can also listen to when you turn things around. Being a drug addict and recovering and having it on my mind all the time. I can just listen to this song and realize how far I've came.

True. I was everybody's fool in high school. I was the popular guy who was goofy and fun loving enough to be surrounded by everyone un my hometown. I grew up as a gifted child with ADHD. I was depressed behind my funny demeanor. I faced unfathomable losses and tragedies at a startling age. To numb the pain, I partied too much for a year and turned into alcohol abuse and stopped attending university as a result. Subsequently, I lost my identity, was extremely sad, felt trapped in my life and my hometown so I attempted suicide twice. First time at 17. Second at 21. Weeks after my second attempt, I departed from my hometown and built a new life away in Paris. 7 years passed by, and even though I didn't completely forgive myself or others due to recurring PTSD, I came back to school, started over in Paris and graduated college & grad school with Honors and recreated a life I'm PROUD of. I had to relearn how to live, how to make friends, how to interact with people, how to accept, how to love, how to repair my broken relationships, how to make peace. Everything. I changed my look, my appearance, my tastes, my wardrobe, my body shape, my mindset, even some personality traits I had to do away with in order to mature and blossom into an adult. I'm PROUD because my friends and family are PROUD of me. I'm PROUD of the person I am today for surviving suicide. Depression still lingers, l still cry here and there but I'm more at peace and accepting of myself and my mistakes than I was when I was a teenager. I'm 28 and I hope to face many more days. I must.

Totally! His voice is perfect for his songs, like no other can give the song justice to it

This song is such an incredible expression of how so many of us have felt, are feeling, will come to feel… and when you can’t always find the words - it’s music like this that deeply resonates because it says all the things we don’t know how to begin to convey - music for me is a drug for expression, because it’s the most freeing feeling to connect with and artist or song - that sums up an overwhelming emotion or experience deeply personal to you - yet you’ve never even met this artist / person. The connection is deeply powerful in that sense. As an artist in a different medium , my respect love and appreciation for music has carried me from a young age to adulthood , with a better understanding , more compassion for others and it’s a friend I can always count on. This is definitely on the list of life songs you should have. #2023

Keep going girl, you are worth great health and a happy life!

This was my class song for Senior year. It still is so fitting for us. We were all young and dumb kids but we grew into men and women we could be proud of and that other people were proud of too. Nothing feels better to truly not be ashamed of who you are today, everything you went through it brought you to this point, to rise up and be your best self. God bless ❤️

I perfectly knew I would still be listening to this song when older, I will keep reverting to it. I'm 37 now, married and 3 kids. Lots of things went up and down in this past 20 odd years. We've all, regardless, come so far indeed!

In the 2000's at another show I got tickets to a personal performance of Staind that performed for WMMR in Philly! It was absolutely amazing we were all on couches & they gave out Doritos & juice & it was recorded live on air! They don't do like that anymore! It was the best personal concert that I've ever been too! And I was in my active addiction to heroin at the time but this was in the beginning back when I had a great paying job. Before I lost everything & my husband & I became homeless. Abd the crazy part is that I wouldn't change anything that I went through bcuz it led me to the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ Almighty & I'm clean n sober for over 20 years & I'm a follower of Jesus Christ! My live truly started when I was born again & this song has new meaning for me now!! My heart is so sad at the loss of Jon Wysoki my husband's name is John & I'm more than grateful for the Lord Jesus putting him in my life!! Bcuz he's rode this insane ride called life with me & he's stayed even when everyone else left!! I know that most ppl won't want to hear this but if you're struggling with addiction of any kind or depression or anxiety or suicidal thoughts plz cry out to the Lord Jesus he loves you more than you can ever imagine! And he wants to be in your life & he has plans for you but you've gotta make the 1st move! Trust me when I say that my life is so much better bcuz I've given my life to Jesus Christ. Snd don't get me wrong I still have struggles but with the Lord Jesus in my corner to fifht my battles for me those struggles are easier bcuz of him! He's waiting & watching your pain & believe me he cries with you. Just call out to him what do you have to lose? I'll tell you've got nothing to lose but literally Everything to gain! I'm praying for you & I love you!

19 years later and this song still speaks to people's souls. Amazingly beautiful lyrics and melody. This song will forever be relevant to every generation!

I'll always remember blasting song when i was "young" as they say. Sooo Farrrr Awayyyy! Im so afraid of waking. Please dont shake me. Such a great Jam.

We didn't proper computers or internet back then and was still lucky to have a bunch of elderly cousins so I was exposed to those classics 🤘🖤 Now we have everything but nothing will be the same again 😓

Aaron Lewis is a phenomenal vocalist, the lyrics are simple but he channels the emotions in such a great way, the words reach us as something much bigger and connecting.

When he says “ I think I’m doing Ok “ that hits deep in the soul man

Going to see these guys at The Deadwood Mountain Grand in Deadwood South Dakota this month ! Taking the Wife for our Anniversary....I can hardly wait....they won't be " so far away" anymore!
