"The Spaces Between" is the first US single from Sydney band Expatriate's debut album In the Midst of This. The song had come in at number nine in the American Alternative Airplay Chart. It is generally considered their most popular song to date.

Expatriate re-recorded "The Spaces Between" for the album, taking a noticeably different approach to its "Lovers Ie Strange" EP incarnation.

The song had since been revealed as the fourth Australian single off the album. It was released as a digital download on iTunes Australia on July 23 2007. This song is featured in Rugby 08 and Fox Sports advertisements for the 07/08 season of domestic cricket.

tructure

The song is based around the guitar chord progression of Cm/Gm/G#/Fm which repeats all throughout the song. The only time the progression changes is in the songs bridge which goes G#/A#/Fm. The song does not have a chorus, however it has a coda which features they lyrics "I truly love you I do" until the song fades out.

Video

In an interview with Drum Media [cite web | url = http://drummedia.com.au/stories.pdf | title = Cover Story | accessdate = 2007-04-08 | date= 2007-03-26 | publisher = Drum Media|format=PDF] lead singer Ben King mentioned they shot a music video for the new version of the song in the Californian desert about hours out of LA. However, when the final product was revealed [cite web | url = http://www.universalmusic.net.au/Jun07/Expatriate-TheSpacesBetween.asx | title = The Spaces Between (video) | accessdate = 2007-06-20 | date= 2007-06-20 | publisher = Universal Music Australia] it turned out to be a video featuring the band against a white backdrop with coloured lines, shapes and such with no traces of the Californian desert whatsoever. The video uses many special effects including film grains and transparency to give it an almost 80's feel. Whilst the video has been hailed by the band, it has also received criticism from their fans. [cite web | url = http://www.armbell.com/expatriateband/viewtopic.php?t=147&mforum=expatriateband ]

They never made a clip for the original version of the song when it was released as the band's debut single in Australia on the Lovers Ie Strange EP in 2005.
