This is a listing of (more or less) every song I’ve written, collaborated on, or recorded a cover version of over the years, broken down into the following sections:
» Original solo compositions
I’ve written a lot of songs in the last umpteen years; this section breaks them down by year.
» Collaborations and production
I’ve worked with a number of individuals and bands over the years to record original compositions; this section lists that output by songwriter.
I like recording covers of good (and occasionally bad) songs; this is list of the covers I’ve recorded, listed (to the best of my knowledge) by original songwriter.
Every song collected on this website, listed by title.
