Song Meaning of “Over The Hills And Far Away – Live At Teatro El Círculo, Rosario, Argentina/2012” by Tarja
Over The Hills And Far Away by Tarja, which comes from her 2012 live album, Live at Teatro El Círculo, Rosario, Argentina, is a powerful, sweeping song of longing and hope. The song is about a journey, both of the heart seeking connection and fulfillment, and also an actual physical journey that can take us from our current state of mind in life, and towards seeking something better.
The song is a call to our inner-journey of self-discovery, to seek out the beauty and joy this life provides, to cross those hills, break through those barriers, and search far and wide until we find what truly satisfies us. Our journey feels like it stretches out like a long winding road until we can finally see what we have been looking for.
The music reflects this well, with an anthemic, uplifting chorus and soaring strings and drums that seek to inspire us in this quest for something new and different. The message is clear: no matter where we are right now, “over the hills and far away,” lies the joy and fulfillment we desire.
