Do You Want the You
This song is about searching for both self-realization and love (both mystical and physical). Parts are sung in the style of a 'round' except that, in this case, each part of the 'round' is sung in a different speed.

Not Much of a Dancer
This song was inspired by the song "Wonderful Life (Don't know much about history...)" that was made into a hit by Herman's Hermits in 1965. In my song the singer is not much of a dancer, poet, bread-winner, speaker, or painter but he still thinks he can still romance the woman he loves.
