"Here Is Gone" was the lead single from Gutterflower, the Goo Goo Dolls' seventh album, in 2002, and it's John Rzeznik chafing against a relationship that's all casual and no depth, wanting more than he's getting. He called it a cynical song, written while he was single, far from home and trying to sort himself out. Rzeznik wrote it alone; Rob Cavallo produced with the band, Tom Lord-Alge mixed, and Robby Takac and Mike Malinin hold down bass and drums.
It reached number 18 on the Hot 100 and number three on both the Adult Top 40 and Triple-A charts, and topped Canada's airplay chart. Francis Lawrence directed the video, a cryptic story that reads as anything from a visit by spirits to a quiet revolt against a society that feels constructed.
