Comments

• Max, a member of the, now defunct, WATB chat group, found a possible reference to "Open the Light" on the Manglish wikipedia article. "People tend to translate phrases directly from their first languages into English, for instance, "on the light" instead of "turn on the light". Or sometimes, "open the light", translated directly from Chinese."
• "Open the Light" transitions seamlessly into the next track, "One Very Important Thought". It is one of only three tracks to do so on Music Has the Right to Children, the other two being "Wildlife Analysis" into "An Eagle in Your Mind" and "Bocuma" into "Roygbiv".
