It's really hard doing "personal" songs without sounding maudlin and self-indulgent. In fact I can only think of John Lennon Plastic Ono Band as an example of a successful "personal" album.

I hate to be critical of artists clueful enough to refrain from using a "non-commercial" Creative Commons license, but I'm really struggling with this. Some light relief was provided by "Buyer Beware", which reminds me of the Simpson's "Baby on Board" and Steve Martin's "Thermos Song", but I'm afraid that in this case the humour was utterly unintentional.

My advice would be to listen to a wider variety of music, maybe spend a month or two away from mainstream pop/folk, and try again with a bit more musical and lyrical diversity.
