Discover the story of the song > Half a World Away – Corin Tucker Band

The lyrics are about a protagonist who is far away from her partner. She is in Africa, filming in the bush, while her partner is somewhere else. She wishes she could be closer to him and wonders if he would stay with her if she could. She talks about the dangers and difficulties she faces being so far away, but she is proud of her work and wears a hero's badge on her chest. Despite the distance, her heart is still filled with love for her partner.
