"Million Miles Away"
Song

"Million Miles Away" is a punk rock song by The Offspring. It is the fifth track on the band's sixth studio album Conspiracy of One (2000) and was released as the third single from the album. The song was not included on the band's Greatest Hits (2005) or Complete Music Video Collection (2005), although the song was featured on the trailer for the film Orange County.

The single's b-side "Sin City", which is a cover of AC/DC, can be found on the band's 2010 Japan-only compilation album Happy Hour!.

The cover art features was drawn by Alan Forbes.[citation needed]

Music video

The song's only music video was that of a live performance dubbed over by the recorded version of the song. This may have played a part in its lesser success as a single. The recording took place at Wembley Arena.

Reaction

The song is fairly popular among many Offspring fans, often called the best on Conspiracy of One despite its release as a third single.[1] Aside from being a stronger song, this also may be because it is less deliberately mainstream than the previous two singles and also has a more serious subject matter. However, it is rarely played live and remains one of their less well-known singles.
