Song themes

Midnight Angel tells the story of a young girl in South America who turns to prostitution, and is abused by a famous politician. Afraid that she will speak out, he stabs her and dumps her in a river.[8]The Art of Compromise is about making a relationship work.[8]The Valley of Tears is about not letting ambitions distract one from everything one has to be grateful for. As Bob Catley put it, "What is the meaning of life? Be happy with whatever is around you, your family, your friends, and whatever you do in life [...] don’t look too far ahead, look at your feet and you’ve probably got everything you need right there".[8]
