Synopsis
The Coronas perform "Far From Here" in a highly stylized, fashion-conscious setting rather than a conventional narrative video. Danny O'Reilly leads the performance while the band appears amid carefully arranged interiors, theatrical lighting, distinctive costumes, and carefully composed images. The visual approach gives the song a polished, slightly surreal presentation, with the emphasis placed on mood, styling, and performance. The clip's deliberate art direction and visual detail make it feel more like a constructed fashion piece than a straightforward band promo.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Far From Here" was released as a single in January 2010 and appears on The Coronas' second studio album, "Tony Was an Ex-Con," released on September 25, 2009.
