This album reveals Kern's technique of making songs ever since he was a child: sitting by the piano in a darkened room and letting the light of imagination guide him. The liner notes mention that he does this until now.

Before creating this album, Kern was invited to become a Steinway Artist, and as such played a Steinway piano for Imagination's Light.

Dedication

In the accompanying booklet, Kevin Kern mentions basing "Keepers of the Flame" on an ancient Gregorian chant called "Pange Lingua". It is dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
