Trivia
The Thai lyrics at the beginning of "The Other Side of the World" translate roughly to "Pray to God, until you find peace;
Pray to God, until you find peace;
I invite you to come, I invite you to come and try (Him) and see, please come try (Him) and see;
Pray to God, until you find peace."[ 3]
