All songs by John Walradt except where noted.
 - Ride the Wave
- This is a Democrat theme.
- Stay Here Now
- Lora was in Portland and I was in Phoenix. We carried on a phone romance for several months before we got together to marry.
- Raindrop Soul
- This is for our lovely and affectionate cat, Ulan, who I still miss.
- Far From Home
- This is about a hippie girl who runs away from home. I based it on my journey through the Mojave Desert in a VW bus on highway 62 east of Twentynine Palms.
- Equal
- This could easily pass as a feminist theme but it really comes from my life with autism and how it was to be treated differently.
- You Can Feel It
- I had this melody and some of the words written for decades but I couldn't finish it. So I asked Robert Quigley to write the rest of the lyrics and he did a great job! It's about going into a night club and meeting that special person who excites you.
- Rainflakes
- My wife, Lora, wrote the lyrics to this song. It reminded her of the kind of cloudy drizzling day that's not quite autumn and not quite winter.
- An energetic, catchy song about a young woman who runs away. I based it on my driving on California highway 62 east of Twentynine palms in a VW bus.
- The Most of Nothing
- I had this tune that sounded like something Graham Nash would write. I based it on the month I spent in Los Angeles before taking my VW bus across the Mojave Desert.
- He Doesn't Know
- I wrote this after accidently running into the ex-boyfriend of my ex-girlfriend.
- Lazy Summer
- When I was 17, I would ride my bicycle around the farmlands outside of Boise, Idaho.
- You'll be the Hole in my Doughnut if You Leave By John and Lora Walradt
- It started with a fortune cookie. Then it turned out like this.
- Sunny Sunday
- I woke up with this melody about spending a Sunday afternoon in a park.
- Comes and Goes
- A heartbreaker with a lovely melody.
- Studly Do–Right
- A crowd pleaser song about a young guy who likes to be the center of attention in a night club scene—and, of course,
he buys all the beer.
- Down East in a Harbor Town
- The story is about two lovers who miss each other's path, one going back east, the other going west. The
harbor town and island are on the coast of Maine.
- We Didn't Have Time Enough
- When I wrote it, I didn't expect that it would be so well received.
- When the Wildflowers Bloom By John Walradt and Anna Kim Sievers
- I had this melody hanging around for several years, then in 1989, I played it for Anna Kim and she said, "I know the title and I know what I want to write about!" After we recorded it, it got airplay in Boise, Idaho for about a month.
- Summer Day
- This song is for my brother, Tom, who's favorite season is the summer and spending time on the beach.
- I'm Not Coming Back
- A rocker about a friend of mine in Denver who told me about how she had broken up with her girlfriend.
- The Dark Shore
- Tom wanted some eerie, film noir kind of music for a movie he wanted to make. It was fun because it gave me something new
to try.
- Soft City Lights
- A story song of a woman who has someone too much on her mind.
- At the End of the Road
- A short song with somber words.
- All the Reasons Why
- I started writing this song as a movie theme.
- Kitty with the Hundred Dollar Balls
- This is just a short little song about our cat, Boris, after we got him neutered.
