this song captures the feeling so, so perfectly. in high school, I fell in love with my best friend and was so scared to come out that I just sat on the sidelines while they dated another. it hurt to watch, but I just wanted them to be happy ...until they weren't. ended up in an abusive relationship. so. I confessed. told them they deserved so much better. we got married on the exact date of our tenth anniversary because we're hopeless like that ...and that was four years ago now? god, this song take me back. cathartic, though. just wanted to share a ray of hope for others who may relate.
This song hits too close to home for me.It bring back memories from catholic school. I was infatuated with this girl in my grade and we had this flirty back and forth thing going on.I remember getting nervous sweats whenever she hugged me or passed me notes in class. Nothing happened beyond stolen kisses and holding hands .I guess we were both scared and ashamed of this new kind of love.I know i was. She left school the next year and I remember feeling so devastated and angry at everyone. This was the early 2000's and being gay or coming out weren't concepts that were talked about so openly . I always wonder what would happened if we took the plunge and just came out , or if the society then was more tolerant .I hope she's happy and thinks of me too wherever she is .
This song is literally the story of my life. I love how relatable Vance Joys songs are and I LOVE them so much. My favorite line is "I've been living on the crumbs of your love, and I'm starving now". So perfect.
I always thought I'll never relate to this song because doing so will hurt a great deal. But here I am, hopelessly, utterly in love with someone I have deeply connected with. Always on the verge of something but can't. I know we both understand that it's not just friendship. But I eventually learned he's already with someone. "Two fallen sparks, one willing fool" Here's to people we connect so profoundly with, but for some reason, cannot pass the friendship boundary. Hugs to you all. And to you, it shouldn't come as a surprise what I am feeling now. But I hope nothing but happiness! I knew then, and now, I will love you from afar.
Brings me to tears. So perfect. I just lost my last friend on this earth and this song reminds me of our relationship. It never was a good one. "I've been living on the crumbs of your love, but I'm starving now!" Vance Joy, your music is so relatable. Thank you.
I saw him last Friday night in Oakland, and when he played this song it felt like time stopped almost. It was so beautiful, I think he's a great artist because you can tell he's doing what he loves. Much respect
My ex showed me this song when we were together. Now we’re broken up but I would still call her my best friend. I am utterly in love with her and this song brings me to tears thinking about her.
"You told me 'boy look the other way' You told me 'boy bite your tongue' Yes that's not the way, Yeah that's not the way Ah that's just not the way that friends behave Ah that's just not the way that friends behave Oh no, no, no, No, no, no, no You lined me up Across the room Two falling sparks One willing fool And I, I always knew That I would love you from afar You told me 'boy look the other way' You told me 'boy hide those hands' Well I've been living on the crumbs of your love And I'm starving now And that is just the way that we remain Ah that will be the way that we remain Oh no no no No no no no You lined me up Across the room Two falling sparks One willing fool And I, I always knew That I would love you from afar You lined me up Across the room Two falling sparks One willing fool And I, I always knew That I would love you from afar It shouldn't come as a surprise What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now It shouldn't come as a surprise She got darling hazel eyes It shouldn't come as a surprise What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now It shouldn't come as a surprise What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now It shouldn't come as a surprise What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now It shouldn't come as a surprise What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now"
The song reminds me of the time I was in love with my friend and we were watching a movie with a couple other friends and out of nowhere she lays her head on my shoulder. My heart started beating so fast
I look at this song in a different perspective to being in love with a best friend... maybe it’s about being in love with a friends other half but you know that no matter how deeply you feel for them, nothing can happen. That’s just how I see it :)
Even thow Vance is singing about to boys, this song relates too so many people.My heart cries every time I hear it. "I always knew I would love you From Afar""
it's also about the married couple & the lunch they have with friends. The wife realises that her husband shouldn't act the way he does around their female "friend", fantastic song with so many different perspectives, also the young girl & lad have feelings for each other even though they are family friends. The other lad is in love with his friend - the song is so clever how it is open to so many interpretation's. Vance Joy is genius 👌💛👍
He dedicated this to me at first when he loved me still....he loved me it was a long distance relationship and we wanted to wait till he got here to actually date I made ilusions of us living out lives together for ever but then i think he lost all the good moments and won't love me anymore now him and i will remain friends forever that's what he said And this song makes a lot more sense 😔
What I like about his songs is that Riptide is getting big, but these aren't. that way I can play them whenever I want, and they don't grow old on the darn radio. Don't get me wrong, I would love to watch Vance Joy get big and be like" Yes! I knew him years ago fools!" But this way people are like " Wow! Who is that you're listening to?" And i am like " Find your own thing in music!" LOL.

"It shouldn't come as a surprise, what I'm feeling now." Just these words. Wow. So many times have I thought this.

Opheliaisnotonfire hey phandom and yeah I love his music too
I definitely know about those crumbs >_>

"From afar" has been my favorite song for 6 years, when I was at media-school, I simply keep loving it ❤️
Heard this song when he opened for Taylor Swift and i literally cried in the middle of a sea of tweens who had no idea what the song was about
Brings me to tears. So perfect. I just lost my last friend on this earth and this song reminds me of our relationship. It never was a good one.

¨ I always new that I would love you from afar.....¨

"You told me 'boy look the other way'
You told me 'boy bite your tongue'
Yes that's not the way,
Yeah that's not the way
Ah that's just not the way that friends behave
Ah that's just not the way that friends behave
Oh no, no, no,
No, no, no, no
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
You told me 'boy look the other way'
You told me 'boy hide those hands'
Well I've been living on the crumbs of your love
And I'm starving now
And that is just the way that we remain
Ah that will be the way that we remain
Oh no no no
No no no no
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
You lined me up
Across the room
Two falling sparks
One willing fool
And I, I always knew
That I would love you from afar
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
She got darling hazel eyes
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now
It shouldn't come as a surprise
What I'm feeling, what I'm feeling now"
..and yet it still hits hard every time
I love it .... i can´t stress enough to how AMAZING Vance Joy is......
Same
The song reminds me of the time I was in love with my friend and we were watching a movie with a couple other friends and out of nowhere she lays her head on my shoulder. My heart started beating so fast

Ever since my mum heard this on Home and Away, she can't stop singing along to it!!! It's driving me crazy!! ;D
Even thow Vance is singing about to boys, this song relates too so many people.My heart cries every time I hear it. "I always knew I would love you From Afar""

Most goated Vance joy song
i love this song so much, countless feelings and emotions come to mind while listening.
Ay....I agree
The lyrics of this song wrote the story of my life😢😢
Vance is amazing I can't believe that I just saw him 1 week ago 💜
He dedicated this to me at first when he loved me still....he loved me it was a long distance relationship and we wanted to wait till he got here to actually date I made ilusions of us living out lives together for ever but then i think he lost all the good moments and won't love me anymore now him and i will remain friends forever that's what he said
And this song makes a lot more sense 😔
One of the best song from dream your life away ❤️

Amazing!
I LOVE YOU VANCE JOY
Yup. My crush and I are the perfect example.. This song played in my head when we kissed. 😍😍
this song is about one who loves another and it is not reciprocated so I hope you mean you and your crush had the opposite of this.
Que álbum maravilhoso! ❤️
his music is so beautiful
I love the fact that the song has two different meanings at the same time.
Can't wait to see you in AZ(:
song of my life ❤
It’s not about particular things except what is sung. If it helps you with anything use it
This song really gives wasted time, also by Vance joy, competition.
Awesome singer and folkster
HARRY AND JOSS BROUGHT ME HERE! #Mistresses LOVE this song!
Beautiful
Even better live
What I like about his songs is that Riptide is getting big, but these aren't. that way I can play them whenever I want, and they don't grow old on the darn radio. Don't get me wrong, I would love to watch Vance Joy get big and be like" Yes! I knew him years ago fools!" But this way people are like " Wow! Who is that you're listening to?"

This makes me want to be a little gay boy running around a field of grass playing with my forbidden love

Ameland '15

Love this song but the base drums in the background around the 3:37 mark sound like an off balance washing machine. 😂 it's almost jarring
I'm so fucking sorry, you didn't deserve any of it.
