Smile Smile
Opening track from an old self-produced music cassette ('80s), "Statues Painted Blue".
20th Century Dirt Road 20th Century Dirt Road
An old song I did in the '80s, probably one that would have benefited if I had kept the tune but made it about 21st century cell phones, but who could see that coming.
Horse And Chandelier Horse And Chandelier
From my '80s music cassette, "Gravity", a sort of Old West Prohibitionist type emotional lament song (such laments possibly being a lost genre buried by drug fiends promoting swinging from chandeliers, halogen lamps, etc.).
Still Around Still Around
Title song from my January 1999 self-released music cd. Was posted at garageband.com before it closed. If you listen close, you might actually hear the sound of a larger statement about sublimated resurrection of what the heart holds dear! Oh boy!
Wait A Minute Wait A Minute
From 1984, slightly remastered, this song borrows from a period, perhaps a hundred years ago, when certain types might have been allowed more emotional intensity than they would today.
The Hostile Cowboy & The French Restaurant The Hostile Cowboy & The French Restaurant
Back in '94 when I did this song, it reflected what I felt was a certain manner in which certain Americans assimilate new cultures and experiences.
The Moon The Moon
Lead song from my 1994 music cassette, 'Home Boundaries'. This song was an influence on much Rolling Stones stuff: their songs 'Moon Is Up', 'Anybody Seen My Baby'; their video, 'Out Of Tears'. They left you having to take my word (sorry).
Eve Eve
Words hard to hear, but still worth it. New Year's Eve day, 1929, guy's been devastated by stock market, wife's love seems gone, they're going dancing that night, he imagines wealthy man cutting in, her leaving him then and there.
In Pause In Pause
A slightly tongue-in-cheek approach to the idea that there might be something (someone?) indispensible missing from the world, that this is really what is askew after all is said and done.
Dust Dust
Song from my '85 'Gravity' cassette (slightly remixed), not to be confused with my '02 'The Gravity' CD. Relates to bulls in china shops, when taken with 2 grains of salt. Recorded on Peter Wolf's birthday, which shows.
Enough Enough
From my 1985 music cassette, 'Gravity', not to be confused with my 2002 music CD, 'The Gravity', this song, 'Enough', not to be confused with my song, 'That's Enough', speaks to the inarticulateness of referring to music as a commodity.
Forgot The Ice (Version #3) Forgot The Ice (Version #3)
This song is a warning about how the seeds of class struggle might suddenly crystallize in your waiter between courses.
Always Seems To Say Always Seems To Say
I'm featuring a bunch of songs from this 1989 music cassette I made, though they sound fuzzier than my newer stuff (hasn't that always been the difference between past and present?).

Different (Rough Demo Version) Different (Rough Demo Version)
Different Different
This song can be found on my new CD being sold at CD Baby. The long route to CD Baby is thru my website, www.angelfire.com/blog2/jonathandsteinhoff.
Chains Are The Same These Days Chains Are The Same These Days
That sound is NOT me rattling chains, I'm shaking an English molasses can with English stones in it (a helpful tip for anyone who can't afford chains).
Sometimes It Seems Like They Have Decided Sometimes It Seems Like They Have Decided
The Clown The Clown
Opening song for album it's on (Blessing being 2nd). The shorthand that exists between myself & P. McCartney tells me the 3 songs on special edition of 'Memory' used Blessing fragments, & I thusly feel inclined to provide a few more fragments.
