so near and yet so far

Tulip Sweet & Her Trail of Tears sang a fantastic cover of what I now know is the Starlight Children's Choir singing "So Near and Yet So Far" off of the E.T. I LOVE YOU & Other Extra-Terrestrial Songs for Children. When I was in Los Angeles a few weeks ago the song came up in rotation on a mix and I jotted down the name.

BUT "So Near and Yet So Far" is a jam, you just may not realize it at first. Listen to it twice.
