Done as a songwriting exercise, SSG Y10W37. It's supposed to be a descriptive story without judgment or emotion.
Got No Drums Got No Drums
Done as a songwriting exercise. SSG Y10W36. The idea was to write about an instrument.
Was It Just A Dream Was It Just A Dream
All I've Ever Wanted All I've Ever Wanted
Done as a songwriting exercise. Topic A was to write about fathers (around Fathers Day) or family relationships. Topic B was to include a key change in the song.
I Think I've Heard This Song I Think I've Heard This Song
Done as a song writing exercise. SSG Y10 W32. The idea was to use unusual chords to write a song that doesn't sound like other songs you've written. That ended up being the subject of my lyrics too.
Face To Face Face To Face

Sell When We Should Buy Sell When We Should Buy
No Rain No Rain
Another one for the songwriting forum. SSG Y10W26 The assignment was to write about rain. We haven't had any, so that's my song. I don't know how to classify the genre. Calling it blues for now.
Notes In My Pockets Notes In My Pockets
Done as a songwriting exercise. SSG Y10W22. I changed some of the lyrics, made a more suitable ending and played on electric this time. So now I need a new genre - calling it "pop" for now.
Kayaks And Cruise Ships Kayaks And Cruise Ships
New version. I slowed it down, changed the ending so it's less abrupt, and changed a few words.
How Good It Feels To Feel So Good How Good It Feels To Feel So Good
I wrote this as a songwriting exercise, SSG Y10Y10. I had been messing with variations on minor chords before I started the assignment, which was to write about the environment you're in while looking at the forum. Make a song out of anything.
Period Of Adjustment Period Of Adjustment
Done as an exercise for a songwriting forum. But I think it has a future.
Brown Canyon Ranch YouTake Me Back (FINAL final) Brown Canyon Ranch YouTake Me Back (FINAL final)
This song started out as a songwriting exercise. I got a lot of suggestions and made some changes. Then I got more suggestions. I've added an intro and changed how I do the key change. I think this is now really the final version.
Brown Canyon Ranch, You Take Me Back almost fina Brown Canyon Ranch, You Take Me Back almost fina
I wrote this as an exercise for a songwriting forum and it turned out pretty well. I got some good suggestions on the forum. In this almost final version, I've changed a few words and I've dropped the key(s) down 1 1/2 steps.
Brown Canyon Ranch, You Take Me Back draft Y10W1 Brown Canyon Ranch, You Take Me Back draft Y10W1
A sure enough country song. Not my usual style, but I did it for an exercise.
Sidewalk Skater Sidewalk Skater
Bad Choices Bad Choices
I didn't set out to write a country song, but this kind of has that flavor. It's about a relative of mine, told from his point of view.
