| Sketch of an ordinary-seeming afternoon, as seen through the eyes of a sad/absurd character, experiencing everthing with odd expressions. |

| A fun song about the world being on borrowed time. |

| This song is about the pay telephone and the coin box it uses, in order to express a wall between a man and a woman. I'm hopeful that such songs can exist even in this millenium. |

| A statue in memory of a rock star is removed from the center of a room because it doesn't seem to resemble him enough, causing the statue to wish it could be returned to the center of the room. |

| I was probably under the influence of your basic 19th century Russian literature peasant character when I created the first person, who "shakes his head" at "the way things are". The song is a little bit of a prayer. |

| On the day of New Year's Eve, 1929, a husband notices that when he mentions what day it is to his wife she doesn't care. Then he reflects on the fact that the down stock market has caused him to have to sell their favorite summer cottage, and he eventually fears the worst about the state of his marriage. |

| Almost entitled, "What Kind of Conversation Is This?", which would have described it perfectly. This song will one day be seen as the perfect tool for measuring the value of every conversation in the world, and so it definitely fills a void. |

| This song describes an early stage some go through on the path to recognizing the profound importance of unique perspective. If I'm accused of restoring part of John Lennon along the way that's something I'll have to live with.

| A man wonders how a woman he is out of touch with will react to the inept chorus of people who carry news about himself, then decides he shares with her something stronger then anything the messengers can destroy.
Still be there when she's old

| The character in this song is a left-behind who sees his being left behind as something to do with communicating in four-four time, and he dreams of changing things and not being left behind. The image is a violin bow. |

| This song updates the famous Grant Wood painting, or perhaps uses it as a point of departure. In any event, this song is certainly a departure of some kind. |

| Almost entitled, "The Crowd Goes to the Malt Shop," and then almost entitled, "Crowd About To Separate, Story At Eleven," this is a semi-serious song about an important couple’s relationship being on thin ice, and different people’s takes on it. Included as an extra bonus: a Gregorian chant-style chorus! |

| This song is about a character/caricature whose world is dominated by the combination of his own strong presence with the invisible presence of a girl he once knew. A lot of real and fictitious/literary personas have a lot in common with this variety of personal charisma, and I wanted to find a way to touch on this sort of thing. Then again, this song might be yet another painting of Elvis Presley suitable for hanging over your fireplace. |

| This song is about a man feeling himself at a tragic place in his life, his thoughts revolving around a woman, nuclear bombs, pizzas and tacos. |

| I cleverly designed this song to confuse hopeless pessimists into becoming something else, possibly optimists, by arranging it so that the extremely negative view contained in the words is surrounded by a sort of good feeling contained in the music. It’s been done before, however I believe there has lately been a new demand for this type of thing. The image is a glass of cola, again for the purpose of confusing hopeless pessimists. |

| The two experiences of being near to and far from a loved one are represented by divergent musical styles sharing the stage alternately. |

| Belief in the power of a future explanation sustains the character’s belief in a relationship, with a few other feelings mixed in. |
