- Singer Mark Kozelek told Popmatters that this song is very personal to him.
- 'Ghosts of the Great Highway' was Sun Kil Moon's debut album although Sun Kil Moon are Red House Painters with a different name, a bit more folk and a lot less indie rock. Kozelek has said that he changed the name in order to gain attention from the press as they had tired of talking about the Painters. Many of the songs featured on Moon's first album were originally written to be Painters songs.
- Mark Kozelek, Anthony Koutsos and Jerry Vessel all played in both Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon.
- The song is about a man yearning for his lover to return but it has an ethereal quality "she is floating out too soon" almost as if he is talking to a ghost of a former lover, like a memory that has come to haunt him in the night. The album is titled 'Ghosts of the Great Highway' so an ethereal, ghostly interpretation would seem to fit.
