“3000 Miles” is from the album, b purple. It was inspired by a haiku from Basho. I love his haiku. Here’s a couple examples:
All night
Under cherry blossoms
Bitching
—-
Upon the temple bell
Asleep
A butterfly

Whereas “3,000 Miles” is at the start of a relationship, “Over Now” is at the end. I wrote this song a couple of years after moving back from my year living in Sevilla, Spain. As I said in the mail, this relationship didn’t actually end but transitioned into a wonderful friendship I treasure to this day. There are two versions of this song. This one is the original version. Later on in this series, I’ll share the version produced by Dorian Crozier.
