The album title itself is perhaps a reference to a line of dialogue spoken by the character of Mabel Longhetti (Gena Rowlands) in the 1974 John Cassavetes film "A Woman Under the Influence". Having just seen her children taken off to school by their grandmother, Mabel states, "All of a sudden I miss everyone; I don't know why.". Another strong possibility is that the title refers to a famous "The Catcher In The Rye" quote during its 26th (and last) chapter. As narrated by its lead character Holden Caulfield: "All I know about it is, I sort of miss everybody I told about."
