[edit] Miscellanea

The Chinese characters in the liner notes of the album represent Energy, Clarity, Harmony, Courage, Wisdom and Enlightenment.

Nick Hexum wrote the lyrics for "I'll Be Here Awhile" at age 20, forecasting the future of the band. The song finally made a 311 album ten years later when, as predicted, the band was still around.

The lyric "And if a person, place or thing can deliver/I will quiver with delight" in "I'll Be Here Awhile" was earlier used in the The 77s 1987 song "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life."

Hexum wrote "Amber" about his then-fiancee Nicole Scherzinger lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls.
