Lionize
I’ve never been quite sure where I stole the chorus at the end from but I’m pretty sure it’s been done before. The first half was built onto that, drawing on Guided By Voices for inspiration. Another surprisingly disciplined mix.

Something on the Way
Tried to rework a year or two later with a band, didn’t work. Too moody. This song wants to be a happy one. So smile already.
Cover Me With Paint
Rejected pitch for Sherwin Williams. Assumed it would sell a lot of paint…

Just a dramatic break. Maybe you would run to the bathroom or something.
Diabolickal
Not only did this track provide us with a name for our act, but the laid-back groove gave us our second video, which is sufficiently abstract that I think it holds up pretty well.
Old Man River
Just pure silliness. I’m not sure if The Frogs or Ween are more to blame for inspiring this.
I’ll See You Again
Very insistent that we would see each other again. No room for debate or discussion there. Wasn’t in the mood to write a ton of lyrics, it is a song of economy.
