«“A Million Miles Away” is a far more sombre song. Rory used to stay in his bedroom for days on end. You’d almost have to bring meals up to him. He’d only come down occasionally. I told him, "You need to get out of the house, get some sea air."

As kids, our grandmother used to take us down to Ballycotton. I remember driving a few us down for the day, my mother and himself. He disappeared out the cliffs. I started to worry because we couldn’t locate him. I was heading back to call the coast guard when I saw him waving to me from the far cliff. I told him, "You took the heart out of us. We thought you’d fallen off the cliffs." He said, "I just got inspiration for a new song. If I didn’t sit down and write it there and then, I was going to lose it." That I believe to be “A Million Miles Away”, looking out at the ocean, a million miles away, but at the same time he’s in the bar with the band after a gig when his thoughts might be a million miles away. While it sounds a very sad song it’s about getting peace of mind.»

Simona Kossak (1943–2007) was a Polish scientist, ecologist and environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting the Białowieża Primeval Forest, the oldest forest in Europe. She was an extraordinary and fascinating personality, known for her close connection to nature and animals. The locals often called her a "witch" because she lived in the seclusion of the forest and seemed to have a special relationship with the animals. Her pet "terror crow" was known for stealing gold and attacking cyclists - an anecdote that is often told. She lived in her small wooden hut, which had neither electricity nor running water, for over 30 years. A lynx occasionally slept in her bed, and a tame wild boar shared her home. Simona Kossak was known not only for her unconventional life, but also for her scientific contributions to nature conservation and her tireless work to protect the Białowieża Primeval Forest. She fought against the destruction of this unique ecosystem and left an important legacy in the field of environmental protection in Poland.
