A truly unforgettable experience in all the games I've ever played. I still smile remembering that moment, so engrossed in the game I WAS John. Riding into Mexico, driven by revenge, a need to see this through no matter the outcome. Even if I lie beneath the dirt at the end of it all, I would set the world right. A truly fantastic gaming memory, one of my favorites.
In which way your life is good!? You're working for federals because they kidnapped your family and you need to back to your back life because of some damn Edgar Ross!

Just one of those special occasions in time where it feels like every moment is complementing each other, creating such a unique blend of different emotions.
@@thatonefpsgamer1339unfortunately sometimes the feeling doesn’t change even when you do fall in love forreal. I’m going through the worst breakup of my life and damn does this song still resonate so deeply. Hopefully your pain isn’t as severe and love is kinder to you than it’s been me.
i finished both games many times but i just cant tell you how much goosebumps i get everytime i enter mexico on this song , arthus was an awesome man but for me john was a legend.

Now, I'm drinking some cheap vodka in any fucking city of Turkey. It's cold outside. I'm sitting in the kitchen and trying to escape from myself, my mind, past; and I dream about far places, I dream about a good future. This song make me feel both hopeful and sad. Really, love your music. I can say that with all my sincerity.
The future is but an idea... the moment is the key... love and blessings to you... without sadness and pain we would not know joy and pleasure... it’s all relative to your perspective.
I feel I am doing the same things here in a fucking city of Argentina. Not with cheap vodka right now, but deffinitely with the escaping-self action. Share your feelings on this song, and maybe even on life and the randomness of it. Cheers to all, and remember, life is this one only.
Fell in love with this song instantly when I heard it in my favorite movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" - Was playing through RDR earlier today and when this song came on as I entered new territory, my jaw dropped to the floor. They couldn't have picked a better song. This song is PERFECT!
I can't stop thinking about the future, and how i am getting closer to take some rough decisions in my life. Some months ago, life looked so simple yet so perfect. But now, i have to get ready for incoming changes and new stuff i will have to face in order to get a better future for myself. This song represents the feeling i get when i think about it all perfectly, and i can't stop listening to it. Wish me luck, RUclips folks, i will need it.
Jose esto es una pieza de arte, te hace transportarte a otra epoca, no puedo describir con palabras la añoranza que me hace sentir esta canción. Simplemente voy a beberme un trago y fumarme un cigarro mientras escucho esta obra maestra.
I found this by chance. After listening to the first 20 seconds I can feel tears down my eyes.. Don't know why, but it so gets me. It's a music that gives me hope and sadness, at the same time in a really strong way.
Everyone is talking about red dead redemption, and while the game is a masterpiece, how about we talk about how incredible this song is? The themes, pacing and lyrics are really relatable to a lot of people

@@ASmartNameForMe God damn I love rockstar sometimes. They did the same thing with GTA IVs music, vagabond is about Niko but the song is just so great on it's on, they have a lot of like "freestyles" and "rap battles" mixed into the best too that aren't jokes but are done as if by people from the world of GTA . God damn GTA IV just so good period. Jesus Christ I love GTA V but GTA IV is part of my fucking soul
This is gonna sound really sappy. When I visited my family in Mexico I couldn’t help but play this on my cars speakers as I crossed the border. I was far from home but also not really. But it was my first time being on my own so far away from home. I get a double hit of nostalgia when I hear this song since I immediately think of the family members I got to meet who were so loving and welcoming and thinking back to this game with a tragic but beautiful story of seeking redemption and the lengths we go to for those we love.
Se me hace muy cuesta arriba tragarme un disco entero tan calmado de José González, sin embargo este Far Away lo podría poner en bucle y oírlo durante horas y horas...
i dont know if say this in english, or talking in your family language, with the flourish of the Argentinian Accent. But, everytime that replay Red Dead Redepmption, and, every time that my job of Professour takes me far away from my home, i listen , i feel the lonelyness of the traveler, with hundreds of kilometers of pampa, wind and Farmland. Nunca te olvides de Argentina
At first it was just a videogame song, i listened it for so long. In hard times, when i needed that John Marston corage just to face life that it represents a lot to me now. Thank you, Jose Gonzales, for this amazing master piece. And thank you Rockstar, for so much.
This is the first time I have heard this from the video game, Red Dead Redemption. Honestly, I am not sorry for missing out on this. I would have not felt the emotion and impact of this stellar song until now. It was far away but it was worth it. Thank you
i feel that i got off my horse before the song could play cuz a woman said she needed help and then when i headed over a bunch of guys shot me and i died
Took acid once while playing RDR just riding with my horse into the sunset when this song came on. Probably the most bone chilling video game experience ive had till this day.
Some trees flourish, others die. Some cattle grow strong, others are taken by wolves. Some men are born rich enough, and dumb enough to enjoy lives. Ain't nothing fair. -John Marston
I was heading home for good after leaving the military (honorably), it was dusk and had everything in my truck, a basket full of food, my blanket and pillow, my phone and Bluetooth speaker, this played first on the start of a 700-mile-long journey. Never will forget.
Im absolutley going through hell right now, and i dont see an end that isnt bad. Im glad i found this song, helos me cry it out a bit. I just want everything back, to make my family whole again, to be okay again.
Step in front of a runaway train Just to feel alive again Pushing forward through the night Aching chest and blurry sight It's so far, so far away It's so far, so far away Cold wind blows into the skin Can't believe the state you're in It's so far, so far away It's so far, so far away Who are you trying to impress Steadily creating a mess?

This song makes me want to go train hopping and just explore the country.

Great movie! Though I heard this song in RDR since that came before the movie.
this film has three songs, very good from José, always good to see this film, to restore the sublime things in life!
