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.
  • The song began as a rough guitar sketch Danny O'Reilly played to the band in a quiet pub in Dingle, County Kerry. The group immediately responded to it and began shaping it for the second album.
  • O'Reilly has said the song's breakdown and build-up were conceived with the live show in mind. The band expected that section to work well onstage, and it became one of the track's most effective concert moments.
  • The video's styling was recognized at the 2010 Irish Music Television Awards, where "Far From Here" won Best Styled Video.
  • The clip was released through the band's official YouTube channel on December 18, 2009.
