As the lyrics unfold, Reyez tells the story of lasting love while her partner waits for his papers. The visual flashes back to the couple happily slow dancing before her partner is violently apprehended in an ICE raid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel what you feel when you\u2019re far away\/When you\u2019re far away,\u201d she sings on the heartfelt chorus. \u201cIt\u2019s been a hundred days since I\u2019ve kissed your face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the song details the pain of being ripped apart from one\u2019s love, it\u2019s also a yearning ballad, with Reyez\u2019s sultry singing kindling the flame despite the lovers\u2019 distance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttachment to someone is both something beautiful and something painful. Imagine finally finding your home in another human being but they\u2019re stuck on the other side of this rock we\u2019re all on,\u201d Reyez said in a statement. &nbsp;\u201cYou\u2019re left wanting nothing more than a hug \u2014 their hug \u2014 that simultaneously feels like a pillow and a drug. Somehow when they hurt, you hurt, when they smile, you smile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is love suspended in animation, before it\u2019s tainted by reality (because eventually all hearts break again) but in this moment, neither of you are running from one another \u2014 it\u2019s only water and borders and God keeping you apart,\u201d she continued. \u201cWater and borders and God keeping you from home. This is pre-heart break; when both sets of lungs are still working and when you miss them and they miss you back \u2014 and you feel each other even when you\u2019re far away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFar Away\u201d follows the release of single \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/watch-jessie-reyez-6lack-imported-colbert-847155\/\">Imported<\/a>\u201d featuring 6lack and her 2018 EP, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-album-reviews\/jessie-reyez-being-human-in-public-review-744793\/\"><em>Being Human in Public<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/jessie-reyez-far-away-video-watch-894728\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jessie Reyez depicts the harrowing experience of losing one\u2019s love to deportation in her potent new song \u201cFar Away.\u201d The track will appear on her forthcoming debut studio album via FMLY\/Island, which is due out next year.
