Two singers sing the same song, but they are separated in space. Can be used to show the commonality of the two singers (such as two lovers sharing a love song while longing for each other, or a parent and their child singing about protecting each other) but another variation is the protagonists singing a happy song while the villain is plotting. Common among Star-Crossed Lovers. The Song Before the Storm often uses this format. Related to Two Scenes, One Dialogue. Naturally, a sub-trope of Let's Duet. |

The Thrilling Adventure Hour: In the Sparks Nevada episode "The Piano Has Been Thinking", the various residents of Mars have begun to spontaneously break out into song. One of the songs that occurs from this is "I'm Gonna Kill You Someday", a Hero vs. Villain Duet between Sparks Nevada and Techs, the robot bandit that usurped his position as Marshal on Mars. The two sing about how one of them is going to kill the other and when and where it'll happen. Because the two are in two completely different places as this happens, Sparks's girlfriend Rebecca Rose Rushmore can only note that not only did Sparks just randomly burst into song, he also randomly burst into exactly one half of a song. | |

The David Byrne & Fatboy Slim album Here Lies Love has two: "Seven Years" has Benigno Aquino (first in prison, then in exile to the U.S.) and Imelda Marcos (in Manila) singing to each other. "Why Don't You Love Me?": As the liner notes explain, "This song is sung in an imaginary duet between Imelda and Estrella, who have no contact with one another at this point." |

"I Wish I Could Go Back to College" and "Fantasies Come True" from Avenue Q both do this. The former has three singers, all in different buildings. The latter is a twist on the "love song" variant; the two singers are both singing about having found love, but not with each other. And one of the two people who's found love discovers immediately afterwards that it was All Just a Dream. | |

Falsettos's penultimate number, "What Would I Do", is a duet between Marvin and a vision of the Whizzer he fell in love with - a healthy, snarky, immaculately dressed young man who sings with him about how unfair it is that their entire future was stolen from them by his illness, getting closer and closer but never able to touch. If the sudden outfit change didn't clue you into what was going on, the fact that this song directly leads into the final one, which Marvin breaks down in surrounded by his friends and family at Whizzer's grave, will. | |

Due to the nature of the Rhythm Doctor remote defibrillator system, Rhythm Doctor often sees the player treating individuals in separate locations to one another as part of the same song.

Phineas and Ferb: The episode "I Scream, You Scream" has "Busted." Although it is a duet for Candace and Vanessa, they never actually see each other during this episode. In fact, it’s before they even meet for anything longer than a scene and go on to form their Odd Friendship. "When Tomorrow is This Morning Again" (sung by Candace and Doofenshmirtz) from the Grand Finale "Last Day of Summer". Part of the song resembles "Busted", with Doofenshmirtz taking the position of Vanessa. A few songs will involve characters scattered around town in the A-, B-, and even C-Plots: "Blueprints" from "Phineas and Ferb Interrupted". In the A-Plot, the boys' friends plus Candace try to snap them out of a trance that has made them dull and boring, while in the B-Plot, Doofenshmirtz excitedly sings about how the invention he’s building will make him the most interesting man in town. "My Sweet Ride" primarily Follows Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Jeremy as they drive in the modified car, with interjections from the neighborhood mothers and Doofenshmirtz. "Un-Untieable Knot": as the kids play in their replica of the legendary Gordian Knot, Candace tries to guess what could be in a safe she's trying to open. The episode, "Bully Bromance Break Up" has "Hole in My Heart," a Break-Up Song between Buford and Baljeet. "Cool", a Voice Clip Song that Candace and Jeremy put together over the phone. The episode "Act Your Age" has "What Might Have Been", a duet between Phineas and Isabella where they somberly sing about what it might have been like if they had gotten into a relationship together like they both wanted, and regretting not ever having done so. |

The fathers from both sides then go into a moving rendition of "More I Cannot Wish You" from Guys and Dolls, which is both heartwarming and tearjerking at the same time. | |

The song "Come Back To Me" from On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Daisy is avoiding the psychiatrist so he tries to reach her telepathically. She begins hearing the words of the song coming from the mouths of her cooking class teacher, police officers, and other random strangers. (Does not happen in the stage show.) | |

A rare print version of this trope pops up in Chrono Crusade. In New York state, Rosette flops down on the grass and begins to sing a musical version of Edgar Allan Poe's poem Israfel. In the middle of the song, the scene switches to San Fransisco, where her brother Joshua is singing the same song. Since this is the first time Joshua shows up in the present day (his previous scenes had either been flashbacks or only shown him in silhouette), the song is a clue that it's the same Joshua as it's mentioned he and Rosette sang together as children. | |

In the video edition of The Last Adventure, Twilight and Discord sing Alone Again, about how much immortality is a curse, because their loved ones will be gone one day, leaving them alone as they were before. Discord's case is worse because he is still treated like a monster by most ponies and he decided to exile in the Everfree forest so Fluttershy would forget him and be happy with somepony else. | |

2014's Peter Pan Live, a new version of the stage musical, changed the (now-appropriately titled) "Distant Melody" to one of these. In the original, Peter Pan sings it as a lullaby at Wendy's request; in Live, Wendy sings one half of the song in Neverland, while Mrs. Darling, still waiting for her children to come home, sings the other. | |

"What If the Town Blew Away?", "Manly", and "The Big Wet Rain Storm is Over" are like this, but for groups of people instead of just two. |

"Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden, which is sung by two brothers who were in love with the same woman. The musical also features "Come to My Garden" and "Lift Me Up," a duet sung between Lily and her son, Colin. This is a particularly extreme distance, as Lily is deceased; it's implied that she is visiting the boy in a dream. Something similar happens in "How Could I Ever Know," a duet between Lily and her (still-living) husband. |

The Pajama Game pulls off the epic stunt of having a character sing a Distant Duet with himself. Toward the beginning of Act One, Sid sings "Hey There" into a dictaphone, bragging about how he doesn't need love and telling himself to stay away from romance. At the end of the act, Sid, who has now realized that he's deeply in love with Babe, inadvertently turns the machine back on and begins to echo the voice on the record, singing a duet with himself about how his feelings have changed. | |

From Hamilton we have "Dear Theodosia," in which both Hamilton and Burr sing to their newly-born child about how much they love them already and will try to take care of them. For brief examples, we also have Angelica in "Take A Break" singing from England about how she wishes she and Alexander weren't separated, and the beginning of "Stay Alive", in which Eliza sings the titular words from home while Alexander is off at war. "Your Obedient Servant" also arguably counts, in that Hamilton and Burr are separated physically, but they are still communicating, in that the conceit is that the words they're singing are the letters they're sending back and forth. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "This Day Aria", from "A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2". Sung by Princess Cadance and her impersonator, the Changeling Queen Chrysalis. It's unique for two reasons: It's a duet where both parts are sung by the same performer, who is playing different characters, one of which is impersonating the other. "It's Gonna Work" from "Spice Up Your Life". Doubles as a Counterpoint Duet, as Rarity is with Coriander Cumin, singing about how the Tasty Treat should try to be more like the other restaurants in Canterlot's Restaurant Row, while Pinkie Pie is with Saffron Masala, singing about how they should embrace their individuality. |

Central Park: In "Episode One", most of the main cast (Owen, Paige, Helen, Molly, Cole, and Birdie) sing about their goals from separate places, as a way to introduce the characters to the audience. In "Squirrel, Interrupted", Owen and Paige sing "Can We Do Today Again", a song about parenting, from separate areas of the park. While Owen laments how he screwed up Cole's scavenger hunt, Paige is thrilled that Molly is doing so well at the park chess tournament. In "Hot Oven", Molly and Brendan sings "I'm in a Perfect Relationship" in their respective rooms while they text each other on their bed, singing how they have the perfect relationship despite not knowing much about each other. In "Live It Up Tonight", "I Did Not Account For This" features Paige and Owen racing through the rain on a bike to stop an auditor from getting Owen fired, while Molly tries to find Cole in the park after he got scared by bats during Zoom's Home Alone 2 Deleted Scenes Tour. In "Down to the Underwire", Paige oversees a race between her boss and Bitsy at her office that could determine the fate of her paper, while Owen races to find the perfect training bra for Molly in a department store. |

Simple Plan's "Jet Lag" is sung from the perspective of a couple who are separated by continents, to the point where he's waking up just as the sun is setting where she is. They have released four official versions of the song—the English version with Natasha Bedingfield, a French version with Marie-Mai, a mixed English/Chinese version with Kelly Cha, and a one with an Indonesian band. In all four music videos he is shown at the airport while she waits for him to come home. | |

Across the Universe (2007) has at least two. "Hey Jude" is sung by Max, who's sitting in an American bar, and citizens of Liverpool (including Jude's mother), all encouraging Jude to seek out his love Lucy. "Let It Be" (reworked in a gospel style) is one of the most tearjerking moments in the film. It's set against the backdrop of the 1967 Detroit riot, with a young boy singing the first verse in the streets and a preacher/singer performing the second at the same boy's funeral. Though they're in the same room, they couldn't be further apart. | |
