Cast Release New Single 'Far Away'

If you’re going to do something, do it properly. That’s the ethos John Power had in mind when he started plotting the return of Cast and their upcoming album. ‘Love Is The Call’ lives up to his aim to deliver a record with the fire and motivation of a new band yet with the accomplishment and experience that comes with everything they have achieved.

That resurgence now continues as Cast fire into 2024 by sharing the new single ‘Far Away’. It’s a song which sees him tap into melancholy emotions, it instead inspires an inner strength and the belief that many of life’s challenges can be overcome with a little time and determination. Long-term bandmates Liam ‘Skin’ Tyson (guitar) and Keith O’Neill (drums) amplify that mood with musicianship that’s both energising and accomplished, showing that today’s Cast can still enamour fans who first fell for the likes of ‘Finetime’, ‘Alright’ and ‘Walkaway’ back when they first started out. 

John says,

“‘Far Away’ is a classic pop song, all jangling guitars with an instant hook line and melody that lifts off from the word go. The song is about trying to find your voice in a world that doesn’t care or seem to want to listen.  As the world turns into the shadows, the sun still burns so far away, and the dreams you keep until tomorrow, they sometimes feel so far away.”
