* Alone (“More Alone” played beforehand on tape)
* And Nothing Is Forever (written for his dad)
* A Fragile Thing
* I Can Never Say Goodbye (written for his brother)
* Another (Happy) Birthday (dates back as early as 1997 as a composition with Reeves - unsure if the final title will include parentheses or not)
