    No Apology

    This song would be rewritten as “Tellina Lie” and performed band-style. Vocals in bridge just had to go.

  • Sara Lee

    Pitch for a theme song for Sara Lee Corporation, but the song was too “edgy” and was not actually “played” for them.

  • Moving

    Moving

    Originally pitched as a theme song for U-haul, but rejected. Their loss, your gain.

  • Satellite of Nothing

    Satellite of Nothing

    Contract work for NASA. Expected to be part of the first manned trip to Mars.

  • Something on the Way
