When I was a DJ on the radio in San Diego, I used to play “The World at Large” by Modest Mouse. I never got tired of it and its plaintive, melancholic feeling—it wasn’t until I started to learn it that I realized how poetic and deep a song it was. No other song has come close to capturing the myriad qualities of this strange, itinerant life. Whether you’re a touring musician, an artist, a loner, or someone who doesn’t fit into a prescribed mold, this song gets it. Isaac Brock has captured so much in these lyrics—from feeling odd and askew, to longing for connection and solitude. I’m honored to sing this amazing song and I hope you like it. I’m so happy with how Kevin Salem helped me bring my vision to life. To add to the sonic dream, director Scott Coffey and editor Robin Gonsalves helped make my visual dreams come true, too. We filmed the video around Tivoli, NY and in the Catskills. I hope you love it, and thanks in advance for listening, watching, and telling your people. x
