Well, besides stuff for the movie, that would be a song called "White Hills of Home". I wrote the lyrics several years ago - somewhere around 1997 or so - and put a tune to it that I was never happy with. Sometime in 2001 or so I changed it to a more upbeat folkish sounding bit, and made it a part of my regular reperat -- repertwa--- list of songs.
Writing music has never been easy for me. I can come up with a "hook", maybe a few lines that I really like, but it never seems to gel into one cohesive singable song. That takes concentration, a stress level far lower than I've lived with for a long time. I'm not very good at the mechanics: the songs you've heard and loved have been the products of inspiration.
