General Information
Written by: TBC
Far From Heaven is the tenth track from Evanescence's fifth studio album, The Bitter Truth. It's a piano ballad with swelling strings from David Campbell that almost didn't make it to the album. It's intuited about Amy Lee's brother, Robby Lee, who passed away in January 2018.[1] She told Kerrang! in March 2021:

“Far From Heaven just came out. It just needed to come out of me. That was the last thing on the album. It completed the puzzle.”
“It’s about questioning my faith. And it’s not like it’s the first time, but it’s just very raw, real and in the hardest way I ever have. Having to really look at it and wonder, ‘Is anybody out there?’ That’s a real question I’ve been asking over the past couple years, through everything, and I don’t have the answers. I never have had the answers. That’s the whole thing that makes belief belief. We just can believe, we don’t know. But it’s not just about that. That’s part of the reason it was so hard to write, I spent two or three weeks just stuck in this funk, like in this depression, trying to get it off my chest because it’s not the way that I feel all the time. But it is a feeling that I have that comes up in me regularly: wondering where the people are that I’ve lost, and thinking about time in a more fluid way.” “While writing it, I felt so low. I was just living in it without an out. When it was finished, I really loved it; it’s beautiful. Even when a song is openly dark and about pain, it can bring me joy. Sometimes you just need to say that hard thing you’ve been locking down inside, get it out, process it, and then move on to the next song.” |
