The lyrics and music for The Lesson Of Love was written in just two four hour sessions at Patrick Leonard's home.

Nick was inspired to write In Exile after reading an article in The Village Voice on Rodrigo Rojas.

Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime was not going to be included in the album at first, until Lindsey Buckingham got involved with it at the last minute. Because of this, the vocals were done in his bedroom, with him playing the Snare Drum in his bathroom.
