Moving Pictures
Song kept building. Rare attempt at sincerity in songwriting. Don’t hold me to it.

Sara Lee
Pitch for a theme song for Sara Lee Corporation, but the song was too “edgy” and was not actually “played” for them.
Celebrated
Not much point but the playing-with of the knobs on the devices. The real goal was the video for the show.
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.
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.
Hero Ran
Revisiting an earlier demo, this time it sounded a lot more like it should. RC plays great drums, I do my best Elvis Costello impression on the keys.
