Trivia
“So Far Away” adalah lagu balada rock dari Avenged Sevenfold yang dirilis pada album Nightmare (2010). Lagu ini merupakan penghormatan emosional yang mendalam untuk drummer asli mereka, Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan, yang meninggal dunia pada Desember 2009.
Gitaris Synyster Gates awalnya menulis lagu ini untuk kakeknya, namun kemudian liriknya diubah untuk mengenang sahabat sekaligus rekan band-nya, The Rev.
Liriknya, seperti, “I have so much to say but you’re so far away,” menyuarakan duka dan kerinduan mereka. Dalam penampilan konser, lagu ini sering diiringi dengan sorotan lampu atau ponsel penonton sebagai tribut spesial.
