By 2003, Staind has been around for a while. Today's Y2Kessler song is from their 4th album released in 2003 called "14 Shades of Grey". That's only 36 shades of grey away from a popular book franchise! The song "So Far Away" was the second single to release off the album. Incredibly, this song stayed at number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for 14 consecutive weeks!
The song is about the hope and uncertainty beating addiction. The song is a reflection of the lead singer's old life, before he got himself clean.
