about

This song is dedicated to what happens after years of one-sided friendships take their toll. Too many phone calls unanswered. Too many visits unreciprocated. Once selfishness supersedes trust, it’s time to let go of toxic people. Give from the overflow, not from the core….

PRESS REVIEWS:

"‘Miles Away’ is upbeat and another stand-out piece. The music keeps the body moving over the dynamic soundscapes from one piece to the next.” —Gothic Paradise, California, May 31, 2016, www.gothicparadise.com/sweetestcondition.htm

“Songs such as ‘Miles Away’ and ‘The War Is Over’ hint at the personal stories and deeper meaningful passion within all of us. These are all songs made with care, passion and purpose. It is a rare privilege to review such music.” —John Crofts, Johannesburg, South Africa, 925|Rebellion, March 12, 2016, 925rebellion.com/the-sweetest-condition-edge-of-the-world/

“Another kicking mid-tempo track with a solid bass synth and drum line propelling it forward. Once again, a guitar figures prominently in its arrangement. Impressive!” —Chuck Frey, Modern Synthpop, Wisconsin, Jan. 12, 2016, modernsynthpop.com/the-sweetest-condition-end-of-the-world-review/

lyrics

“Miles Away” © The Sweetest Condition 2015
Lyrics by Leslie Irene Benson | Music by Jason Reed Milner

Think of all the times I called,
and all the letters sent.
I didn’t lose my mind,
just my common sense.
(Just my common sense.)

We never stood a chance.
When will you learn?
so let the bridges,
let the bridges BURN!

I was there for you
more than I can count,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!

I could’ve used a friend,
could’ve used your help,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!

You never cared to ask
How the story went.
You passed the plot,
And skipped right to the end.

We never stood a chance.
When will you learn?
So let the bridges,
let the bridges BURN!

I was there for you
more than I can count,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!

I could’ve used a friend,
could’ve used your help,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!

I was there for you
more than I can count,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!

I could’ve used a friend,
could’ve used your help,
but you’re too busy
wrapped up in yourself.
You’re miles away!
