The guys soon recorded a self-financed LP entitled "Day-Glo" which was followed, in the fall of 1999, by their self-titled second indie-album.
They then decided to tour the United States with stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas; two and a half years later the band issued a third album, "Larger Than Life".
In the summer of 2003 3 Doors Down's guitarist Chris Henderson invited Love.45 to Seattle to record a demo-EP which eventually landed them a deal with Rock Ridge Music who released in November 2004 an album, again self-titled, which included the single "Way Down".
So Far Away
Love.45 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Expression close to letting go of pain
You're letting go of pain
I'm betting on the sun to rise today
Your shadow's gone dancing in the rain
I call your name
Your smile remains
Everyday
And when it's hard to go on
Man, I really feel alone sometimes
I know you're not far away
I call your name a thousand times a day
Can you hear my cry, you're so far away
So far away
I'm standing tall, I know you're by my side
I see you in our little smiling eyes
Those little smiling eyes
Even after you're gone
Your smile remains
Everyday
And when it's hard to go on
Man, I really feel alone sometimes
I know you're not far away
Even after you're gone
Your smile remains
Everyday
And when it's hard to go on
Man, I really feel alone sometimes
I know you're not far away
The Love.45 song "So Far Away" is a deeply emotional and moving tribute to a lost loved one. The opening lines of “I see a ghost and recognize your face, expression close to letting go of pain, you're letting go of pain” describe a moment of recognition where the singer sees a ghost that is reminiscent of the person they lost. The facial expression indicates that the pain that they once felt is now subsiding, and they are finally able to let go.
The next lines, "I'm betting on the sun to rise today, your shadow's gone dancing in the rain, I call your name" are about hope and the belief that things will get better with time. The singer is placing their trust in the healing power of time and nature as they see the shadow of their loved one gone dancing in the rain. They call out their name, reaching out to the memory of this person.
The chorus, "And even after you're gone, your smile remains, everyday, and when it's hard to go on, man, I really feel alone sometimes, I know you're not far away" expresses the idea that even though the person is gone, their memory still brings comfort and hope. Their smile lingers on and helps the singer get through the tough times, knowing that their loved one is never truly far away.
In the second verse, "I call your name a thousand times a day, can you hear my cry, you're so far away, so far away" the singer reveals their deep longing for their loved one. They call out their name constantly, hoping that somehow, they will hear them. They are so far away, and the singer's feelings of loneliness and emptiness are palpable.
The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the idea of the enduring nature of love, even in the face of loss. "So Far Away" is a poignant and powerful tribute to love and loss, and the emotions that come with both.
