Songs
The second song, "3 Degrees" is a short track about a time where Rudd describes an event that took place in Nashville, Tennessee. The ninth song, "A Fourth World," was played by Rudd in front of live crowd and told them he didn't have a name for it yet. After the show a fan went up to him and said he thought he had a good name for the song. He said "a fourth world" because there's a third world, but "there's also a fourth world where people who don't have an existence, who are sort of trapped."
The eleventh song, "No Woman No Cry", is a cover of Bob Marley's 1975 song. While on tour with Melissa Ferrick he was struck by her performance of "No Woman No Cry." He decided to record his own version that would recapture the melancholy he experienced from hearing Melissa's version. Two songs, "Shelter" and "Let Me Be," were released as singles in Australia.
