"One Mile" is a song inspired by a 50,000-mile journey. A journey across a divided country fraught with depression,
gun violence, and addiction. The first mile taught us as much as the 49,999 that followed. That unity starts within
your community. After traveling around the country on The Unity Collective and having people sign our tour bus
with a message of unity, this song was the call to action. An anthem of hope in a difficult time.
Life is happening, all around us. Within a mile of where you stand at this moment. We must never forget those
who are close to us, across the room from us.
"Together we rise, Apart we fall." The walls we have built in this world, are just the manifestation of the walls in our
own hearts. After mounting a wildly successful Emmy Award-winning journey to 50 States in 2016 filming the groups
documentary "State of the Unity", "One Mile" is a musical memoir for the film (fall 2019) and upcoming album (fall
2019). Written by Nathaniel Paul Hoff and produced and engineered by Matt Wiggins (Glass Animals, Adele, London
Grammar) (UK). The song has been accompanied by a fully animated cartoon music video now available on YouTube.
- the info like where it was recorded
'One Mile' was recorded at No1 Baltic Place studios in the Haggerston district of east London. It was engineered and
mixed by the prodigious Matt Wiggins (Glass Animals, London Grammar). The song also features top-notch London
studio/touring musicians Ollie Hopkins and Bo Morgan, bass and drums, respectively. Additional editing was performed
by Jack Chown.
The song's sonic signature comes at 3:25, at the conclusion fo the euphoric drop. The crescendo was reached by Matt
pushing 2 mono drum recordings, split into stereo, a groundbreaking approach to mixing a drum recording.
The song was written in one writing session by Nathaniel Paul of the band.
lyrics
ONE MILE /// LYRICS:
In a cafe up in Brooklyn
There are two people falling in love
Up the street there about a mile away
There are two people shooting up
Now the world can seem so strange
When your only One Mile away
But we must
Stand tall
Together we rise
Apart we fall
We left Seattle with some pictures
And just a little spare change
We got to Portland there were some crooks there
Who broke into our car and stole it away
Now the world can seem so strange
When your only One Mile away
But we must
Stand tall
Together we rise
Apart we fall
Fall asleep my dear with the winds of Santa Fe
I run my fingers through your hair as the curtains sway
One mile down they are pulling guns and raids
On our brothers who don't look the same
Now the world can seem so strange
When your only One Mile away
But we must
Stand tall
Together we rise
Apart we fall
Because the world's a different place
One Mile away
One Mile away
Because the world's a different place
One Mile away
One Mile away
But we must
Stand tall
Together we rise
Apart we fall
Apart we fall

I would like to thank foremost my loving wife Jillian who has been the rock upon which
everything has been built. Jillian is one of the greatest forces for good I have ever met.
She has helped this vision become a reality.
The incredible Matt Wiggins and his team. He is such a powerhouse of a producer.
Commanding the studio and all of it's components. Working through the night, patiently
waiting for the perfect take, laughing when we have just gone plain silly.
All of our Kickstarter backers, financial supporters, and fans who have picked us up when
we were down.
My parents and Jillian parents for housing us - when we had no home.
Mike and Mike - for believing in us before anyone else.
Orlando Leopard, Bo Morgan, Ollie Hopkins, and Jack Chown.
The team at Garage Creative helping us to pull together the documentary "State of the
Unity".
The Emmy award-winning team behind "Trailblazers: The Bergamot" that got us our first
real recognition in the industry.
Finally, our mastering engineer Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound.
