”Running Up That Hill”についての彼女のコメント;


Myers said she was recovering from a bad break-up while she was producing her album and the song particularly resonated with her. But as she began recording, she started to think of its meaning more universally.

"I was interpreting it as more broad, not just a woman and a man's relationship, but in general about people switching places and having more compassion — not just in your relationship but for the world."

Myers said she also appreciated how the kids brought their own interpretation to the story by inserting secret messages on different pages.

"One person put 'fly to your destination' and another put 'love,' I think I put one in there," she said.
