One of these is a cover version of the Northern Irish band Ash's 2001 song "Shining Light", which became Lennox's first UK top forty solo hit since 1995, peaking at number 39.

The other is a cover version of the English band Keane's song "Closer Now" (originally the B-side to their 2000 single "Call Me What You Like"), retitled "Pattern of My Life".

A limited three-disc edition of the album was released only in the UK on the same day, containing a second CD with unreleased live cover versions of R.E.M.

Also on the disc is Lennox's Academy Award-winning song "Into the West" from the 2003 film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Other songs were drawn from multi-performer compilation albums including "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", written by Cole Porter, originally released in 1990 on Red Hot + Blue, "Mama", written by the Sugarcubes, originally released in 1995 on Ain't Nuthin' But A She Thing, the traditional lullaby "Dream Angus" on Carnival!
