Madonna - Miles Away



Genre: pop

About the song:
"Miles Away" is the third single by Madonna from her eleventh studio album, "Hard Candy". Though it was first released as a promotional single in Japan due to its being the theme music for the Fuji TV drama Change. Apart from Madonna herself the song was produced by Madonna, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake & Danja. The music for "Miles Away" was written first, and Madonna began singing and writing the lyrics for the song after listening to it. Madonna said that the song was inspired by her then husband, Guy Ritchie, "but then you take it on. You realise so many people have to deal with long distance relationships. It's not easy. You have to work hard to make it work." When asked if the song was autobiographical, she said: "Probably in many respects most of the songs [on Hard Candy] are [autobiographical]. But in more of an unconscious way. I don't really think about telling personal stories when I'm writing music. It just comes. And then a lot of times, six months later, eight months later, I go, "Oh, that's what I wrote that song about." But that's when I play the song for lots of people and they all go, "Oh, I can totally relate to that." In "Miles Away" I'm tapping into the global consciousness of people who have intimacy problems.” The cover art for the single depicts passport stamps of her European dates from the 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour.
