From the album's liner notes:

"Sometimes, I wake up at night and write a song. Sometimes a tune comes to my head when I'm walking in the hills, and I have to make up words for it. Sometimes I sit in a bar in San Francisco and scribble into a notepad what I call my 'streams of unconsciousness. ' When I have enough scribbles in the pad, and enough tunes in my head, I go into the studio and make an album. That's how I made this one. "
