Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Mraz wrote this song for his roommate, Jerry, that he lived with for years.
“He drove me to all my first gigs when I didn’t have a vehicle. He also paid the rent for a year when I couldn’t. The guy’s really been there for me. Jerry’s a selfless type of guy that doesn’t want repayment. So I thought what better way to do it than to thank him on an album, in a song. He’s a music lover - that’s why he supports me. I wanted to throw back at him all the brilliant things that he had done.”
