Автору аннотации к диску больше всего нравится первая песня, «Синяя птица» Стэнфорда, он даже привел ее текст:

The lake lay blue below the hill,

O'er it as I looked, there flew

Across the waters, cold and still,

A bird whose wings were palest blue.

The sky above was blue at last,

The sky beneath me blue in blue

A moment, ’ere the bird had passed,

It caught its image as it flew.
