Music video

The song's only music video was that of a live performance dubbed over by the recorded version of the song, and was directed by Jennifer Lebeau. This may have played a part in its lesser success as a single. The recording took place at Wembley Arena.

Reception

The song is fairly popular among many Offspring fans, often called the best on Conspiracy of One despite its release as a third single. Aside from being a stronger song, this also may be because it is less deliberately mainstream than the previous two singles and also has a more serious subject matter. However, it is rarely played live and remains one of their less well-known singles.

A Million Miles Away or Million Miles Away may refer to:

"Million Miles Away" is a ballad by the Finnish hard rock band Hanoi Rocks.

The song was originally written by guitarist Andy McCoy in the 70's under the name "Never Get Enough". McCoy worked on the song on the piano for years, but it was never fully completed. In the Fall of 1983, a raw demo version was made, and when the pre-production for the album Two Steps From The Move started, the song was again brought out. Musician Pete Brown was also present for some of the writing process for the album and wrote many lyric himself. Although the only piece of lyrics that were used are "Smoked a lot of sky, drank a lot of rain", which are featured in "Million Miles Away".

The song features a saxophone-solo by singer Michael Monroe and the guitar solo played by Nasty Suicide, rather than Andy McCoy. At live performances Andy McCoy would often play the piano, while the other guitarist would play guitar.

Even though "Million Miles Away" wasn't released as a single (except in Japan), it still remains as one of Hanoi Rocks' most popular and well-known song's. After the death of the band's drummer Razzle, the song was dedicated to him.

"Million Miles Away" is the fourth and final single from Kim Wilde's 1992 album Love Is, released only in continental Europe and Japan, and remixed from its original album form. It was the third Kim Wilde single since "House of Salome" in 1984 and "World in Perfect Harmony" in 1990 not to chart in the UK. However, the song did enter the top 20 in Sweden.

An extended club mix was also used for the 12" and CD-single formats.
