When sung, lyrics begin with: "I wrote a song for my father in hopes it would give him a thrill after seeing… Brazil."
The album was inspired by a trip that Silver had made to Brazil. The cover artwork features a photograph of Silver's father, John Tavares Silva, to whom the title song was dedicated. - Published by
