Song |
"Here Without You" is a song recorded by American rock band 3 Doors Down. It was released in August 2003 as the third single from the album Away from the Sun. It peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending November 8, 2003.[2] Only their songs "Kryptonite" and "When I'm Gone" reached higher positions on the chart, peaking at #3 and #4 respectively. It has since been certified 2x Platinum in the United States and Platinum in Australia.
The song grew in popularity following the start of the Iraq War, and became an anthem for deployed troops and their families and friends at home.[3]
Content
Brad Arnold states that the main inspiration for this song was his now ex-wife. The song is about being away from someone and missing them, and it's not about how long you've gone, it's about the loneliness that comes with missing someone. It's also about a state of peace that comes with dreaming of the missed loved one.[4]
