Details: "Every Mile" was recorded during a particularly tumultuous time in the life of the band, and of the band members. There were record deals won and lost, tours that were equal parts triumph and tragedy, and relationships that bit the dust. And, yet, we remained hopeful, we remained friends, and we remained committed to the songs you find here. Jon Nolan once called this record "pain with a hope chaser," which about sums it up. In a quintessential Say Zuzu moment, we recorded "Every Mile" in Memphis because we broke down there mid-tour and tried to make the best of it. We had more songs than would fit on this record, so we curated 12 songs that belonged together, and we intended to record the others on a follow-up record that never happened. Some of those tracks found their way onto Jon and Cliff's solo records, and some have yet to see the light of day. Either way, "Every Mile" emerged from a remarkably fruitful chapter in the band's songwriting history, and their treatment here is seasoned with the grit of our lives at that time.
