Differences to original versions

Some songs have distinct differences to the original versions, while some maintain the general feel of the original.

• In "Distant Sun," Fraser omits the bridge lyric "Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above," presumably due to her Christian faith.
• In "Six Months in a Leaky Boat," much of the song is omitted, particularly the lower tempo parts of the song.
• "Four Seasons" was originally entitled "Four Seasons In One Day."
• "I Hope I Never" is much slower.
• "Persuasion" is converted from a "natural" folk rock song into a "synthetic" pop-rock song, and changed the gender references to neutral as opposed to male (e.g. "I will always be a man who's open to persuasion" was changed to "I will always be someone who's open to persuasion")
• "Charlie" converted from a sombre ballad into an uptempo rock song.
• "Into Temptation" originally had the line "You and your new blue dress," however Geyer changed this line to "You and your deep blue eyes" and converted the rock ballad into a RnB-ballad instead.
