The band has appeared on RTE's The Cafe, TV3's event guide, Channel 6's Popscene and numerous radio shows. The band won the Jack Daniels Set, showcasing new bands, in 2006.
The Coronas frontman Danny O'Reilly told Ryan Tubridy on Friday's Late Late Show that the band will try to turn their name "into a positive" when the Covid-19 emergency ends and won't be picking a different moniker.
Far From Here
The Coronas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all the wrong reasons, yeah, I'm sure you know
Believe me it's fine. I mean the pleasure's all mine
And I have to admit I admire how you evade your crimes
And I know it's not my place to say but if I may, if I may
See it's oh so hard to play your part in this
When all you see are the things you just can't miss
From here
From here
From here
And even when you fight you're never in the wrong
You've always got your knives out where they don't belong
And would you agree in pleasant company
Things just work better if you just let them be
And I know it's not my place to say but if I may, if I may
See it's oh so hard to play your part in this
When all you see are the things you just can't miss
Just remember this. You belong so very far away from here
From here
From here
From here
And I know it's not my place to say but if I may, if I may
See it's oh so hard to play your part
When all you see are the things you can't miss
So hard to play your part in this
When all you see are the things you can't miss
Just remember this. You belong so very far away from here
From here
From here
From here
Oh, far from here
From here
From here

You seem to find it easier now that you're so well known
You're more comfortable now that you're famous
For all the wrong reasons, yeah, I'm sure you know
You're infamous, and you know it
Believe me it's fine. I mean the pleasure's all mine
It's okay, I don't mind being associated with you
And I have to admit I admire how you evade your crimes
I must confess, I admire the way you avoid being held accountable for your actions
And I know it's not my place to say but if I may, if I may
I know I shouldn't say this, but if I can
See it's oh so hard to play your part in this
It's difficult to be in your position
When all you see are the things you just can't miss
Because you're only focused on the obvious things
Just remember this. You belong so very far away from here
But always keep in mind that you don't fit in here
And even when you fight you're never in the wrong
Even when you're argumentative, you believe you're in the right
You've always got your knives out where they don't belong
You're quick to attack when it's not warranted
And would you agree in pleasant company
Don't you think things would be better in good company
Things just work better if you just let them be
If you simply allow things to happen organically, they tend to go smoothly
So hard to play your part in this
It's just difficult to fit in
When all you see are the things you can't miss
As you only notice the obvious things
Just remember this. You belong so very far away from here
Always keep in mind that you don't fit in here
Oh, far from here
You belong elsewhere
