Moody, jaded midtempo rock song about fame and broken dreams; in the vein of Matchbox Twenty or Counting Crows
Prog-influenced modern rock in the vein of Coldplay or James Blunt
Inspirational ballad, piano-vocal only
Sort of classical, a little techno. Mostly piano. Midtempo. More Yanni than Enya. This is the instrumental version, the version with lyrics is called 'Birth By Sleep'--which is coming soon.
Poppish, Proggish Rock in the vein of Evanescence or the new Linkin Park album.
Creepy Alternative ballad with acoustic guitar, orchestral drums and sparse synths, in the vein of Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes", or Staind's "Ugly Like Me"
Uptempo pop-rock with a melody lifted from Beethoven's 9th
Modern Rock in the vein of Matchbox 20, Mercy Me
Alt-Pop-Rock in the style of The Killers and Maroon 5
Track five from 'The Comedian'. A midtempo piano-driven rock-pop song in the vein of Matchbox 20's 'Bright Lights', and Phil Collins' 'Can't Stop Loving You'
Dark-themed cemetery song in a blues/gospel/goth sorta tone.
Cristina Aguilera / Kelly Clarkson style uptempo pop song
Sparser than my usual ballads, but not barebones. Inspired by but not totally plagiarized from Elton John's 'Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters'. Like, if I'd written it, this is what it'd sound like.
Pop-rock relationship song in the vein of James Blunt or Howie Day.
Cristian Castro / Enrique Iglesias (Cosas del Amor - era) latin ballad. Based on the poems "Cada dia, Matilde" and "Final" from "El mar y los campanas" by Pablo Neruda.
Another song that'll go on 'one Traveler' whenever I get around to finishing that old album. This is a folksy lullaby with lyrics based on a Tennyson poem of the same name.
I guess this is kind of EMO - Dashboard Confessional meets Hoobastank.
Flamenco-guitar-led smooth jazz with a chorus that hearkens to Jody Talbots 'Journey of the Sorceror'
Norah Jones takes a time machine and meets Elton John in the 70's and Langston Hughes in the 20's. They drink and dish and, later on, collab on this song.
Adult Contemporary power ballad in the vein of Goo Goo Dolls' 'Better Days' or Colplay's 'Fix You'
Fourth-listed, third-written song from the Comedian concept album
Modern, funky Blues/R&B tune with a gospel/hip-hop inflection to it.
Listen for yourself.
