James had ceased working on the song when he could not complete it, but it was revived when Blankenship found an additional riff on his computer for the song. "Big Decisions" is about people refraining to change things in their lives that make them unhappy. The album artwork for "The Waterfall" depicts Vernal Fall in Yosemite National Park.

Olson Park and Waterfall Lost Wonders". The park's opening was famous for the fact that during its opening, the park was symbolically "deeded" back to Native Americans, observing the hundred year anniversary of the expulsion of Indians across the Mississippi River after the Blackhawk War. Today the site is occupied by a parking lot for the former Olson Rug factory and headquarters which is now occupied by the retailer Macy's. The area is near of one of Chicago's "Polish Patches", Jackowo, and the complex was a few blocks from St. Hyacinth Basilica as well as Kosciuszko Park. Olson Park and Waterfall Olson Park and
