• Ceili Rain frontman Bob Halligan Jr. wrote this song for his wife Linda. "That song is really fiction based in fact," he told Songfacts. "And by that I mean there's stuff in there like, those guys at the reunions were sure successful - lawyers, doctors, bankers, whatever - and I feel like a schmuck. Well, in fact, I've had a nice career and been to reunions where people look up to me, but the idea is that in any humbling circumstances, which is what I placed myself in in the song, I have ownership of a relationship with somebody who is incredibly special, and the cosmic feather in my cap is you, baby doll. So it's the latest love letter to the missus."
• "My Specialty" is part of the ninth Ceili Rain album, Crash This Gate. Halligan formed the band in 1995 after a successful songwriting career where he placed songs with metal bands like Judas Priest, soft rock superstars like Michael Bolton, and CCM singers like Bob Carlisle. Kathy Mattea was an early supporter, covering the Ceili Rain song "Love Travels" in 1997 and making it the title track of her album.
