You have to have a strong title. It’s got to say something.

Far From Home was also my idea from a magazine I’d seen.

Everything that Traffic ever did, I’d give Steve a complete lyric, titled, written out with the verse, the bridge, the shape and rhyme and then Steve had to figure out how the meter of the words would fit musically.
