From Where You Are

Song: From Where You Are
Album: Smoke & Mirrors
Artist: Lifehouse

A song of loss, and reminiscence, From Where You Are has a nostalgic melody that weeps. The synthesizer echoes of a memory past. No drums, the strums and pluck of the guitars are the sole source of rhythm in this song. The song was written by Jason Wade in dedication to his childhood friend who died in a car accident.

This song is most well known because it was featured in the auto insurance company, Allstate, commercial as a means to discourage teens from driving under the influence of alcohol. Honestly, the depressive nature of the song might lead some to seek solace in the bottle, but hopefully they will recollect the reason for this song and not drive while drunk.
