Track 3 of the Mulligan EP is, like the other tracks, a do-over of a song I'd written and recorded previously. Like 'Don't Belong', this dates back to my college days more than two decades ago. This was the first track I recorded in this project.

Track 4 of the EP is a bit of a departure - basically a bit of a Beatles-esque pop tune poking fun at cliched songwriting tropes and vapid music industry trends. WARNING: May contain a 'truckers gearshift' key change in the last chorus.
