In a land of YouTube, mediocrity exists a host of hopeful talents doing their version of your favorite songs and top hits. However, Carissa Rae is one of the few exceptions that aims to stand out by being bold and breaking out with her own original cover to debut on her very own. Check out this video of “Near or Far†that she collaborated with her new fiancé, fellow artist Michael Alverado. A great non-cover based song to dedicate to your long-distance sweetie.
If you enjoy a mixology flare of acoustic/pop/indie/fold music on Pandora, take a look closer at this young and growing Asian American artist coming out for Chino, California. Â A singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, model and jewelry maker (just to name a few of her many talents) is on a musical journey this year. Keep a look out for her.

Lyrics:
Verse:
I’m here, you’re there
but your love is with me everywhere i go
this i know
I’m near you’re far
drivin’ away in your little car
but my love will follow you everywhere
Pre-Chorus
best believe I’ll make mistakes
but love won’t stop it has no brakes
Chorus:
strong is what we are
whenever we’re apart
I’ll be right where you are
I’m in your heart
so don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
or all the miles in between
you had my heart
you had it from the start
I’ll love you from afar
Verse:
I hear them say
that what we have made fade away
but I refuse
we’ll never lose
they say it’s a case
of the honeymoon phase
but I just smile
‘cause I know this will last a while
Pre-Chorus:
understand you’ll make mistakes
but love won’t stop it has no brakes
Chorus:
strong is what we are
whenever we’re apart
I’ll be right where you are
I’m in your heart
so don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
or all the miles in between
you had my heart
you had it from the start
I’ll love you from a..
Bridge:
far or near and everywhere
i know that you will still be there
deep inside my heart
inside my heart
Chorus:
strong is what we are
whenever we’re apart
I’ll be right where you are
I’m in your heart
so don’t you worry ‘bout a thing
or all the miles in between
had my heart
you had it from the start
I’ll love you from afar
