Songs Without Songs

Popular music is a natural dumping ground for people’s emotional garbage, but sometimes enough is enough. These are songs that I couldn’t bear to release, or even record, or sometimes even write, to maintain a degree of emotional dignity and spare people the trouble of hearing. – Steven Dressler
