I didn't even think of this until I started mixing tonight that this song has the exact same structural gimmick as the last song I posted. Ooops. I guess that's the risk you take when you are totally unoriginal and working on a sort of compilation…

This isn't the best song I've ever written. I think that one is on the Quarantine Tunes Volume 1 playlist. No, it's not the best but... I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song I've ever written. Not because of the quality of the song, but because…

This was the last song I came up with for this year's National Solo Album Month and I think I'm going out on a good note. Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works…

On the scale from crap to hit single, this one probably lands somewhere around B-side. I like the chorus, I like the bridge, I don't like the verse which sucks since I used it three times. Oh well.
From a production inside-baseball standpoint…

Written during Spring Break 2001. Can you guess which day it comes from? The lyric is about how I was on day 4 and had already run out of ideas. Kinda typical.

"Vanishing Point" was an attempt to force myself to write a full song. I had been playing in Break Even for about a year and found myself completely unable to write music. I had just set up a nice little 8-track studio (sort of) at home and I…

Third of seven left overs from April 2007. This one was sort of a throw away from the beginning. It resulted in me not being able to come up with anything clever, so I just threw something easy and hyperactive and short together.

Usually I like songs less when they are finished. This one I think I like more. I had planned on dropping this one but now I'm not sure.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

This one was written for the 2014 50/90. I remember it clearly. I set up with the intention of working on something else but plugged in my guitar and played this without thinking about it. Well, I guess I was…

Although, picking this one at random for another play, this one's got the same live in a room vibe - mebbe I'm talking crap!! LOL

This song was written during my first attempt at doing anything in GarageBand. Prior August…

Prior to the switch to the white UI I was having an issue where all of my uploads were marked as private and I couldn’t change them. I created a second account and moved on. Then after the white UI switch I found a couple of tracks had vanished so I moved everything back to this account and deleted v2.
