The final track, "Somewhere", includes a tribute to astronaut Laurel Clark, who died in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The song ends with a recording of her voice.[3] Clark was a Runrig fan and had a wake up call with Runrig's "Running to the Light". She took a copy of their album The Stamping Ground into space with her. When the shuttle exploded the CD was found back on Earth, and was presented to the band by her family.
