Background

“I wanted to really push the idea and feeling of turning the `Suburban Everyday’ into something of almost fairytale quality,” Mitchell explains. “Of romanticism. That magic can happen in the suburbs every single day. Almost like making a record where within the stories it’s like everything’s happening on Christmas morning. There’s that little hint of magic in the air.” – Kevin Mitchell

Singles

The first single released off the album was "Don't You Think It's Time", and the second was "Nowhere Without You", which debuted at #84 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. Both songs had music videos released for them.

The third song released was "Friend", although only as a radio single, the video for which is currently available on YouTube and Yahoo! Music Australia & New Zealand.

The final song lifted from the album was "Sadness and Whiskey", which coincided with Mitchell's national tour of Australia in June and July 2007.
