Nothing Like A Hundred Miles

James Taylor

Transposer:

Words and Music by James Taylor from his 1976 album "In the Pocket." [Intro] [Verse 1] I have tried to forget about you And all the plans that we had planned Yes and I’m bound to leave this town I don’t care where I may land [Verse 2] If what they’re telling me is true You have found somebody new to love you There ain’t but one thing I can do baby To save my heart from being broken in two by you Baby I’m moving through [Chorus] There’s nothing like a hundred miles between me and trouble in my mind There’s nothing like a hundred miles show me the yellow line There’s nothing like a hundred miles when I’m only passing through There’s nothing like a hundred miles to make me forget about you Forget about you [Verse 3] Now don’t we like our found farewells And don’t we like to keep our good-byes nice and clean You may wish I’d go to hell While you tell me what a pleasure it’s been So long baby I’m moving on [Chorus] There’s nothing like a hundred miles between me and trouble in my mind There’s nothing like a hundred miles show me the yellow line There’s nothing like a hundred miles when I’m only passing through There’s nothing like a hundred miles to make me forget about you Forget about you

Cette chanson évoque le désespoir d'une séparation et la difficulté d'oublier une relation passée. L'artiste exprime son désir de se libérer des souvenirs douloureux en s'éloignant physiquement, en parcourant une distance qui lui permet de trouver un certain répit. Il évoque aussi la tristesse des adieux, mêlée à la volonté de tourner la page, malgré la douleur ressentie. Le contexte semble être celui d’un cœur brisé qui cherche une échappatoire, en se mettant en route vers l’inconnu pour laisser derrière lui les souvenirs d’un amour qui fait trop mal. L’errance devient alors un moyen de guérir et de se reconstruire.
