Hailing from Melbourne Australia, White Widdow was formed in 2008 by charismatic front man Jules along with Bassist Trent and Guitar virtuoso Enzo. From its inception the vision was always to write and perform 80's Arena style melodic rock and hard edged AOR inspired by artists such as White Sister, Survivor, Treat, Dokken, Aviator, Bon Jovi and Australia's own Roxus. After initial sessions it was clear to them that to fulfill the sound they wanted, they would require a full time keyboard player. Jules immediately enlisted the help of his brother Xavier on the keyboards, a two time ARIA (Australian Record Industry Award) nominee and a well versed keyboard player in many musical styles. With Xavier onboard, the writing team was in place and the line-up was then completed with Jim on drums. Starting out playing live amongst the diverse Melbourne Rock scene, White Widdow quickly established themselves as a solid live unit throughout their native Australia. In mid 2009 White Widdow recorded and released their free digital only EP which was very well received in selected press. With their debut Self Titled album (AOR Heaven) 'White Widdow', the full vision of White Widdow has become a reality. With absolutely no concerns about modern rock trends the band has followed their hearts and proudly wear their 80's influences on their sleeves. Mixed and Mastered by Martin Kronlund (Overland, Joe Lynn Turner, Hammerfall, Bangalore Choir) at JM Studios in Sweden, White Widdow have put together an album full of Melodic Rock and AOR anthems filled with swirling keyboards, blistering guitar playing and big choruses full of hooks, the way they believe rock music should.
How Far I Run
White Widdow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all of this time
Running away from the truth
I've been running away from the truth
For all of this time
Running away from the things that haunt me
Deep inside my mind
A way into your heart
I should have seen it coming
I should have seen it from the start
All this time
The truth was standing right before my eyes
All this time
But I was just too blind to realise
(Realise)
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
Now I've been looking for a sign
A sign of life from you
Tell me what I need to do
Just don't you tell me that we're through
I can feel it in my heart
It's been haunting me night and day
I know that we can make this work now
We've just got to find a way
All this time
The truth was standing right before my eyes
All this time
But I was just too blind to realise
(Realise)
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
All this time
The truth was standing right before my eyes
All this time
But I was just too blind to realise
(Realise)
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
No matter how far I run
Even when It's all said and done
I know that deep in my heart
You'II always be the one
The lyrics of "How Far I Run" by White Widdow talks about a person who has been running away from the truth and their hidden feelings for someone else. The song begins by the singer acknowledging that they have been running away from a person for a long time. They have been avoiding the truth and the things that trouble them deep inside their mind. However, they realize that they should have seen it coming from the start. They have been trying to find a way to enter the other person's heart but couldn't find any.
The chorus highlights the fact that no matter how far the singer runs or how hard they try to ignore their feelings, they cannot escape the fact that deep inside their heart, the person will always remain special. The singer begs for a sign of life from the other person and expresses how much they long for them. They can feel their heart being haunted every day and they believe that they can make it work now, as long as they find a way back into the other person's heart.
In conclusion, "How Far I Run" is a song about love, regret, and a longing for someone special. It mainly talks about how the singer ran away from the person they love, trying to hide their feelings, but ultimately coming to terms with the truth that they cannot escape their feelings.

I've been running away from you
I've been avoiding a connection with you
For all of this time
This has been going on for a long time
Running away from the truth
Refusing to acknowledge the reality of the situation
Running away from the things that haunt me
Avoiding the thoughts and emotions that trouble me
Deep inside my mind
Within the innermost part of my consciousness
I've been trying to find a way
Searching for a solution
A way into your heart
A path to your affections
I should have seen it coming
I should have anticipated this outcome
I should have seen it from the start
It was apparent from the beginning
The truth was standing right before my eyes
The reality was blatantly obvious
But I was just too blind to realise
I was unable to comprehend it
No matter how far I run
Regardless of how much distance I put between us
Even when It's all said and done
Regardless of the outcome
I know that deep in my heart
I am convinced within my soul
You'II always be the one
You will forever be my love
Now I've been looking for a sign
Searching for an indication or direction
A sign of life from you
An indication that you still care
Tell me what I need to do
Instruct me what steps to take
Just don't you tell me that we're through
Please do not tell me that our relationship is over
I can feel it in my heart
I am certain that this is the right course of action
It's been haunting me night and day
It has been bothering me incessantly
I know that we can make this work now
I am convinced that we can reconcile
We've just got to find a way
We need to determine a method to do so

Australian band formed in 2008 with the retro 1980s style, reminiscent of Def Leppard and Outside Edge to an extent. Here is a link for some information on them because Wikipedia has no article on the band; do not confuse their intention misspelled the name with an extra 'd.' http://www.metalheaven.net/html/white_widdow.html

techmaester don't think they are reminiscent of Def Leppard. White Widdow are more like Danger Danger, Roxus, De Mont and Europe (Final Countdown and Superstitious years). Light weight rock dominated by the synthesizer and keys. Two thumbs up for melodies in this style of rock.
