Track 1 starts with the beginning verses of "Antigonish", an 1889 poem by William Hughes Mearns:
As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish, he'd go away.— William Hughes Mearns, Antigonish
Track 5 is an arrangement of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". Several lines by Christina Ricci from the movie Prozac Nation were sampled in this album.
