That progression represents a very particular mood to me, shaped by Vanessa Carlton’s [A Thousand Miles](https://youtu.be/Cwkej79U3ek) rather than Rick Astley’s classic.

The title is a combination of the titles of both. I always thought the two were oddly compatible, and this piece bears that out.
