Here's my opinion on these songs and where they come from.
After TC, Jon did mention that he might possibly be doing another solo album. He also mentioned that it would be an acoustic style type album. I think that's what this is and where most of these songs are from, especially the second half of the album.
I think Jon planned on doing a simple acoustic style album with songs like "Blind Love" in his home studio. That's when he was doing 'The Stand Up Guy' tracks of which some of these songs could be part of that session too. Jon might have had a bunch of songs in different stages and then scrapped the idea for WAN.
With the exception of We Don't Run, SNGMSM, maybe Teardrop, and a few others, most of this album is what was supposed to be Jon's third solo album between TC and WAN.
I also made a comment that some of these songs sound like they were written for movies and I wouldn't be surprised if Jon did get his hands on another script in between that time too.
It's just a combination of a few things that Jon was working on that was never completed. That's why Jon doesn't know what to call these songs. They aren't old enough or weren't completed enough to be considered "vault" tracks.
