Song notes[edit]

• 'Tom's Diner' was included twice on the album with its a cappella vocal as the first track and its instrumental version as the last track.
• 'Night Vision' was inspired by the poem 'Juan Gris' by Paul Éluard.^[7]
• 'Calypso' is based on the Odyssey, namely the part in which Calypso is forced to let Odysseus go. ^[8]
• 'Gypsy' is mentioned in the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, in which the main character Charlie includes it on one of his mixtapes.
• Vega once stated she wrote 'Gypsy' when she was only 18 years old (what would be 1977) which means the song was written 10 years before it was first released. ^[9]
