Long Way Down (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Long Way Down" is a single by the Goo Goo Dolls from their breakthrough album, 1995's A Boy Named Goo. This song is often overshadowed by the low-key ballad Name, which launched the band from local legends to household names. It evokes the feeling of thwarted passion and terrified loneliness that is such a part of being young - or just alive. It reached number twenty-five on US modern rock charts. It was also part of the soundtrack for the 1996 film Twister. Long Way Down was covered by metalcore band Haste the Day as the final track on their album When Everything Falls, released in 2005 on Solid State Records.
