The third track, "The Big Parade", references visitors of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and the Vietnam War legacy. The fourth track, "Trouble Me", is a ballad composed by Dennis Drew and lyricized by Merchant in dedication to the latter's father, who was hospitalized at the time of the writing. Gospel singer Jevetta Steele provided background vocals for the song. Merchant said, "The most uplifting song is 'Trouble Me', which seems like the antidote for all the rest of the album."
