Glen Burtnik - Not So Far Away [HQ]

"Not So Far Away" performed by Glen Burtnik. Produced for the film "Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure" (1989).
I noticed that the only other youtube posting of this song was recently taken down, so I felt somewhat obligated to replace it.
Lyrics:
Hey!
You might feel like a stranger,
You've been lost in a strange land.
You might be on a distant shore,
Don't know what they're having planned.
You might feel you're a million miles,
In nothing you can be sure.
You might feel you don't have a prayer,
When the signal it comes in clear,
That you're not so far, you're not so far away.
You might feel you're in danger,
Hope you don't fade away.
Sometimes you try to reach so high,
You think that your back might break.
The signal's out, someone's in doubt,
When something inside you says,
That you're not so far, you're not so far away.
No, you're not so far, you're not so far away.
Lay it in those hands,
You might not know where you stand.
You walk that line, will somebody tell ya,
This is where it starts and ends?
When history repeats itself,
They'll sell you their worn out plan,
When you're not so far, you're not so far away.
No, you're not so far, you're not so far away,
A million miles, not so far away.
Maybe you're not so far away.
You're not so far, you're not so far away,
Not so far.

[@LaraLeeCupcake]

I had no idea Glen did a song for Bill and Ted! So cool. Thanks!

[@salvasirignano]

I've never watched the film, but I love this song!

[@michaelrussell3890]

Do yourself a favour and watch it. It's a classic

[@manicdosed]

Its been 4 years,I hope you watched the movie.

[@tammie1078]

Nice, I like it

[@MonkKenan]

Vanguard, This is during their history report in the auditorium with all the historical dudes.

[@moving-spaces]

That version sounded more like an instrumental and this version doesn't even have one solo in it. Would you know where to hear the version used in the movie?

[@MonkKenan]

Maybe the soundtrack has it on there. I've never heard the version on the soundtrack..

[@neilland8209]

+MonkKenan This is the soundtrack version, i have it on tape.

[@scottmonkey69]

actually it's the instrumental version of walk away that plays during the history report

[@scottmonkey69]

sorry i just watched the scene and the use both walk away at the beginning then this one for the rest

[@joeshmoe452]

The intro sounds like you steped into the future.

[@davidbolha]

29 people are further away. That or closer then you think. 😉😄🤔

[@Alex_Varriale]

Is it wrong for me to say that this song is similar to a kinks song called "a long way from home".

[@VanguardDragon]

Which part of the movie does this even play? Don't remember it at all.

[@stevenichols2938]

Near the end.

[@SnowTails]

it''s a instrumental version in the movie when all the historical figures comes on stage I hadn't heard it either then listened and recognised which part it was from :)

[@jjwolfeday]

Andrew W.K. is most excellent if you like this.

Joshua Tree vibes

[@The_Rockin_Prof]

This song was not written by Glen. It came out just before his joining with Styx, which I rather liked though I never saw them perform live. I own copies of his first two solo albums, which showed Glen's knack for writing good rock songs.

[@TheWeeklingsMusic]

this is in fact a Glen Burtnik tune...

[@nightowlsnet]

It's actually a Tom Cochrane song from his "Victory Day" album. One of my favs. Glen's cover is a weirded up 80's version of Tom's great straight ahead guitar rock tune.

[@orioles7023]

or was it written by Glen & Tom?

[@davidwright8371]

No it's not it's Tom Cochrane circa 1987 victory day album ​@@TheWeeklingsMusic

[@davidwright8371]

​@@orioles7023nope
