- Lyrics below. Well....this video popped up on my FB memories and reminded me just how far i've come in my healing. 6 years ago, a year after my injury and trying little bits of music here and there as therapy, i had a breakthrough and wrote this song. I had not been writing songs for a long while...and this song was the one that broke the seal so to speak and i have written more songs in this past six years than in my whole life before injury...way more songs (total of 66 songs written and about 70% in this six years). So you see? When you think your world has ended and the worst thing has happened....sometimes you look back on it and think...hmmmmm.....maybe that actually happened for a greater reason than we could even imagine.
Miles Away - by Linda Jean (all rights reserved)
You're miles away, water in between us,
You're miles away, and yet so near.
It's crazy how close two people can be,
Side by side in misery,
Face to face and toe to toe,
That's how the story goes.
Yes it goes.
Then it goes.
But with you, with you,
There's nothing in the world i'd rather do,
Than be with you.
You're miles away, water in between us,
You're miles away and yet so near.
It's crazy how close two people can be
Divided by a soulless screen,
Never just you and me,
Such distance in between it seems,
yes it seems, what's been has been.
But with you, with you,
There's nothing in the world i'd rather do than be with you.
You're miles away, water in between us,
You're miles away, and yet so near.
So much to hear, so much to say,
Why oh why so far away?
I'd give anything for just one day....
....just one day......
But you're miles away.
Water in between us.
You're miles away, and yet so near.
You're miles away, water in between us,
You're miles away, and your not here.
You're miles away, time and space between us,
You're miles away and i miss you dear.
You're miles away...
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away
Miles away....miles away.......
Spot on 💯 that everything may happen for a reason. I wish i could remember the folk tale i heard about it. But the jist was a horrible tragedy may have in fact, saved your life or driven you to be in a greater place than you ever strived for. Im glad your still here. This song is beautiful but you also write songsbthat empower others to greatness as well.
Wow.....i'm blown away by your comment. Thank you! I shall treasure these words from you...they have truly moved me to tears....thank you so very much. ...i often think of the song..i think by Garth Brooks? Sometimes I Thank God For Unanswered Prayers? Or is it just Unanswered Prayers? Because the worst things can happen and you can ask and ask and ask for help but to no avail....and just when you think you are alone in this world....time passes and you look back and think...aaahhhh! that is why that did or did not happen!!! Thank you my friend....you are wonderful!
@@lindajeancountrymusic I just pinned you comment and noticed you pinned mine 2 hours ago. Funny. We both leave good comments 😁
Beautifully done, Linda
Hello Frank! Thank you very much my friend! Hope all is well with you and i sure do appreciate you having a listen and saying hello! Have a terrific weekend! My brother is coming....so i'm beyond excited ! lolol!!
You have to love this age of social media and how easy it is to keep a record of where we’ve been and the roads we’ve traveled - of course putting song to our experience is just the icing on the cake 😉
Hello Todd...and Wally hee hee hee...... Thank you...yes...it's good but also frightening there is such a detailed record of everything we do. But ....when it comes to music....the record becomes uplifted in a beautiful way that connects from a much higher place than technology....and the music travels straight to the heart..... what a gift a joy and a blessing..... sending love and hugs to you dear friend, i hope you have a lovely weekend!

You are Beautiful ❤ my good friend 🌹
Awww...thank you very much Airton...what a lovely thing to say! Big hugs and many thanks to you my wonderful friend! x
Lovely, heartwrenching song, Linda... I thought of metaphors for "the water in between us"
Cheers... be well
Thank you so much. yes...water in between us.....literally it would mean two loves are on different continents divided by an ocean. Metaphorically in the sense i present it here is the feeling of drowning in a relationship....where you just cannot reach the other person through the heavy, cold, dark murky depths of water you just cannot swim through to reach the surface for air. And call out as many times as you may....the other person does not hear you, or chooses not to hear you, and therefore never does throw you a life preserver.....so you continue to sink...helplessly alone. ....now....i can't wait to hear what your metaphors that came to mind are! I really appreciate your comment and your listen and that the song brought metaphors to your mind. Thank you!
@@lindajeancountrymusic
Yes ... how you described it is perfect... an ocean of tears.
@@DeepsongProductions Yes....perfect...and sad......x

Really liked the lyrics here Linda. Great song and performance :) 👍
I'm so happy you like the song Michael....it's one of the special ones to me so i'm thrilled you like it!
This is an absolutely beautiful song Linda 🌹 Your voice makes me melt. I sincerely hope your recovery continues. It is my personal belief that those things the Universe throws at us are always an opportunity to rise and find redemption - even if they seem needlessly cruel we are never given more than we can carry, and when the burden seems too heavy I think, like the parable of the footsteps in the sand, we find we have never been alone.
Oh my goodness...what a beautiful comment for me! Thank you so much Ian...most sincerely...thank you. And i agree wholeheartedly....the universe takes care of us and what we need...if we are open to it and trust in it....and even the worst thing (or so we think) has a message, a lesson, and a path for us! And i'm very happy that today my path led me to find a new friend in you! Thankyou....this is such a beautiful comment and i will always remember and treasure your words here. x
Amazing video and song, Linda.
Keep sharing and have an awesome day!
Thank you beautiful friend! x
Beautiful... Such an mesmerizing song. Your voice is filled with a passionate loving and longing emotion. Love this sweet Linda. AMAZING❣

Very beautiful song, dear Linda! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much Alexander...i'm so happy you like it!
@@lindajeancountrymusic
Such a beautiful and emotional song, Linda. 🌸 Your vibrato is breath-taking (and heart-breaking)! 🤧🥹💗 It may sound weird, but if this injury made you write more music, I'm glad it happened. For a higher good! May you write many, many more beautiful songs! ✨✨✨
Hello my beautiful insightful friend....thank you....so very very much! It doesn't sound weird....many times, despite my frustration and struggles, i look at it from afar and think.....this is all happening for a reason and perhaps it is larger than myself and i have some usefulness to give that is needed right now? ....it helps me get through the hard times to think so anyways, so i really appreciate your thoughts. Hope all is well with you...sending my very best wishes your way...thank you so very much my friend!
@@lindajeancountrymusic Exactly... It totally makes sense! Right now I'm writing a thesis about emotion regulation, and cognitive reappraisal (what you're doing) is thought to be one of the most successful and adaptive strategies of emotion regulation. It's linked to better health, higher achievement, more positive social outcomes and fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. So you are definitely doing a great job!! 🥹💗 Keep going because yes, it's needed, your energy and your music 🤗🌞
@@daniemotioninsound Well that sounds fascinating! How awesome you are doing that...i'm proud of you! ...yes...i've been going through a great deal of everything you mention in your comment and then some since the injury.....like getting to know myself finally after all these years and becoming my true and authentic self without social interference if that makes sense. Anyways, so cool to read this and put words to it all. And again...thank you so so much for making me feel needed. Love you my friend! x
@@lindajeancountrymusic Thank you! I'm proud of you too, brain injury sucks but you took it and put a crown on it and just vibe with it 🥹 (I know it's more complex than that but this is the picture I'm getting). Can't do anything about the fact that it happened, but you can change your perspective and approach...which is very hard, but you did it and are doing it so nothing can stop you! You're definitely an inspiration. 🌟 Love you too my friend! Have a wonderful day and life 🥰
Nicely done Linda! Beautiful song 🍁🌹🫂🌹🍁
Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate it!
