'''"Wish The World Away"''' is the 5th song on and first single released from [[American Music Club]]'s 1994 album, ''[[San Francisco]]''. The single was released on 7" and a 2-part CD, only in the UK. There was a limited edition boxed version called ''[[The San Francisco Collection]]'' which contained part one of the single with space for part two, their next two singles and the ''[[San Francisco]]'' album. Plans changed, as only one CD single was released after the box's issue - ''[[Hello Amsterdam]]'' wasn't issued in the UK. | '''"Wish The World Away"''' is the 5th song on and first single released from [[American Music Club]]'s 1994 album, ''[[San Francisco]]''.

The official video for "Wish The World Away" directed by [[Adam Bernstein]] can be watched at [http://www.musictelevision.fi/artists/10367-american-music-club/musicvideos/38795-wish-the-world-away MTV Finland]. In 1994 Eitzel told ''Melody Maker'', "The video to 'Wish The World Away' cost a LOT of money. It's set on a ''Baywatch'' kinda beach, with all the beautiful people running around looking gorgeous. And we're standing under black umbrellas looking gloomy. We like it a lot. Our vision was realized."<ref name="MM-94">{{cite magazine |last=Nicholls |first=Phil |date=September 3, 1994 |title=I'm An Ant |url=https://archivedmusicpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/caitlin-moran-interviews-american-music-club-3rd-september-1994.jpg |magazine=Melody Maker |location=London |publisher=IPC Media |access-date=January 16, 2018}}</ref> | |||
