"Sleeping in Your Hand", "Labyrinth" and "The Marriage" are taken from the singer's 1997 debut album Pipes & Flowers, while "Gift" and "Luce (tramonti a nord est)" are from her second album Asile's World, and "Rock Your Soul" and "Stranger" are from her third album Then Comes the Sun.

Other cover songs include "Femme Fatale" from The Velvet Underground's first album, The Velvet Underground & Nico and "Almeno tu nell'universo" by Italian singer Mia Martini.
