I really love this song by SHIROSE (WHITE JAM) and I have been listening to it
for ages, but for the life of me, I can't understand what the title means.
「９つも離れた君との恋」 I understand without the ９つも but it's a difficult clumsy
translation: "The love with you who I was separated from". But what is the ９つも
actually grammatically doing in this sentence? If you need a little more
context from the song, the lyrics are written from texts he sent to his ex,
which I thought was a really interesting concept, and great to analyse this
use of language. If someone could explain I'd appreciate it so much! Thank
you!

question
song-lyrics
I don't know understand what the 9つも is doing grammatically in this song title: 「９つも離れた君との恋」
～つ can refer to one's age. See: [In 星の王子さま, what is this
六つのとき?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/62469/5010)

So it's "The love with you who is as many as 9 years apart in age". 君 can be
either younger or older. (Judging from the whole lyrics, I feel 君 is 9 years
_younger_ because she seems to be better at SNS, but you cannot tell this from
the title alone.)
