The central theme of the album is love in its many incarnations. The collection of songs talks about her love for the planet (A Prayer for Planet Earth), her love for animals and the people who advocate for them (People who Care for the Animals), romantic love (Who Knows, with special guest Juno award winner Jack Grunsky and Nothing’s as Cruel as Time, an ode to a young lover), memories of teenage love (in the ABBA-inspired Near To You) and Lightfoot with special guest, the legendary Ronnie Hawkins.
