R.E.M.’s “Half A World Away” is a hauntingly introspective track from their 1991 album *Out of Time*, steeped in themes of distance, longing, and emotional displacement. The official music video, directed by Jim McKay, presents actor Tom Gilroy in a quiet, solitary apartment setting—symbolizing the internal isolation reflected in the lyrics.
