"With you is where I’d rather be, but we’re stuck where we are. It’s so hard, you’re so far... This long distance is killing me. I wish that you are here with me, but we’re stuck where we are it’s so hard, you’re so far... This long distance is killing me."

-- Brandy, "Long Distance"

Apparently this will be Brandy's new single. It holds a load of meaning to me at the moment, however that's not the reason I chose to write about this song. I just had an idea for a video scenario using this song. The idea I see behind this song is somewhat like Greenday's "When September Ends". You look at love, you look at family, and the only way of communication that people in the army, navy, air forces...etc have with their loved ones. Distance has become a factor in many of our relationships, regardless if we're living so close, sometimes things start to feel as if they're so out of reach.

I know friends who go through relationships like this all the time, the love is always there...however things like work, school, etc create a distancing between the two individuals. Lack of communication starts and you just start to distance yourself more from the ones you love. If anything, by being in this specific situation myself I have learned that you must continue communication, you can't just set up walls for yourself. Regardless if there is school, work, etc... there has to be some sort of time to speak to those you love, even if it's just a phone call or an email, or text... There has to be some form of affection displayed on both parts before all is lost. What could have been the best thing to happen to you, could be lost forever in a blink of an eye.
