The Staying Kind (4:20) (Full production: Influenced by Don Henley's sound on songs like "Heart of the Matter.") 2003

Concrete (Female Wallflowers type full-band song. About Jack Kerouac and Neil Cassady but sounds like love song about commitment.) 2003

Rollover (think of Travis's "Why Does it Always Rain On Me?" This track needs better production but the song is wonderfully catchy) 2003

I See You in Your Room (Acoustic song about a teenaged girl who feels her mother is neglecting her. Seeks independence/guidance.) 1999

Free To Go (5:01) (Full band. Needs edit to shorten but is very powerful for a female vocalist. Could go Pop, Country, or Rock. Melissa Etheridge meets Faith Hill meets Alannah Myles.) 2003
