It was based on something Natter would say when the pair were sitting out in the sun, playing guitar. He told Artist Direct: "We'd look at the sun, this fiery nuclear furnace, 93 million miles away, by the time the heat and light gets to us, it's just right."[1] The song was first released as the second promotional single from the album on iTunes, on March 27, 2012.[2]

"93 million miles from the sun is where we live. And 240,000 miles from the moon and that's our geographical location within our solar system. Yet no matter where you are, there you are. And no matter where you are in the planet, you can call that home. I wanted to create a song that acknowledged that home is where the heart is and that's up to you to decide."[4]

A while back, I interviewed humanitarian Jason Mraz about his latest album, Love Is A Four Letter Word, and the project's simple "93 Million Miles" came up. It's a fan favorite in addition to being clever, touching, and philosophical as well as mathematically correct. Amidst the progressive songwriter's list of astral geography and imparted parental wisdom, Jason proposes, "Lookin' deeper through the telescope, you can see that your home's inside of you. Just know that wherever you go, you're never alone, you will always get back home." You probably can guess what's 93 million miles away, but check out this sweet video, which was directed here on Earth by Jeff Coffman and recorded during Mraz's recent appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, Colorado.
