Above & Beyond and Spencer Brown feat. RBBTS - Long Way From Home (Extended Mix)

Above & Beyond’s first original collaboration single since 2010 (for those playing at home, that was ‘Anphonic’ with Kyau & Albert) sees the production powerhouse of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki link up with prolific San Franciscan, Spencer Brown.

‘Long Way From Home’ featuring the vocals of RBBTS (Anne Kalstrup & Hendrik Burkhard) is a gentle, melancholic wave of undulating melodies, underpinned by the quartet’s rounded, dancefloor-ready sound. Debuted at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 300 celebrations in Hong Kong, the song considers the experience of loneliness that besets many touring artists. Aptly, the first sketch of the track was laid down by Paavo and Spencer in a Melbourne hotel room - a very, very long way from home.

Says Paavo, “Both Spencer and myself know all too well what it's like being a touring musician.
Filled with totally amazing, high moments, but also lonely moments in hotel rooms far away from home. We'd both been travelling for hours feeling somewhat lost and lonely and ended up spending the day together talking about it all. Later that night, we found ourselves making a song about it all in a makeshift hotel room studio”

Spencer Brown has just finished a world tour with Above & Beyond, playing direct support to crowds across North America, Australasia and Europe. A star on the rise, Spencer is already a mainstay on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats imprint. The prolific 24 year old released his debut artist album, ‘Illusion Of Perfection’, on the label earlier this year.

Says Spencer, “ “Dream on little dreamer." A message that rung in my head after seeing Above & Beyond, as a fan, in 2014. After signing my music with Anjunabeats in 2016, our musical and personal relationship deepened. We’ve toured the world together. Now, we’ve penned this song - drawing deep from our hearts - about the crazy lives we lead.”

Road-tested and fine-tuned in front of sell-out crowds across Europe, ‘Long Way From Home’ feat. RBBTS is an early Christmas treat for Above & Beyond and Spencer Brown fans. Fans need not wait long for more. Both artists have packed schedules for the remainder of the year.

So, the wild ride continues. Thankfully, where there’s good friends and good music, you’re never that far from home.

So much emotion!! I can feel my heart crying while listening to this

[SquidJoe]

IDK how many times I've listened this song but man, it's undeniable that it touches your soul.

Unforgettable since ABGT300.

I cannot stop to listen, yesterday, today and tomorrow!

[ViciousScotsman]

Above and Beyond are a modern sanctuary in today's world of talentless commercial garbage.

Long may they continue with this goosebumps raising magic!

What hits me over and over is that A&B tracks is always multi dimensional. The lyrics always accommodates someone, depending on where they are in life. For me this song was nice, but it didn't really talk to me the way other songs did. But now it speaks straight to my heart. And it doesn't make me sad, even though it brings tears to my eyes, it just resonates with my emotions and let them run free and beautiful. I love all of it. Thank you so much for again and again giving me an emotional guidance, outlet and support. <3

Me acordé de ti recién, aquella canción sonaba esa noche, y aunque lo nuestro no se dará nunca más, nadie nos quita esa experiencia juntos ❤️

[Baheccakonova]

Painfully 💖
Walk with me
Follow my heart
I am secretly
Silently
Falling apart
And I'm a long way from home
I'm a long way from home
I'm a long way from home

[ibrahimali-wihs]

Pure trance
Love of my life
Cheers
Above and beyond 💯💯
