“It’s another call to arms. A lot of the times in Paris I wondered ‘why do I do this to myself?’ Why do I throw myself into difficult and frightening situations, where a normal person would surely not. Family, friends, a job. Most people hold onto those things because they make you feel good, but at points in my life I’ve deliberately severed myself from those things. That is kind of our human predicament, to always be longing for something. I guess ‘So Many Miles’ is about shaking off feeling bad about that.”
