This page serves as a guide to the labels used on this blog. As I create new labels, I will add them to this page.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Most label descriptions are still missing and will be added over time.
Length
Andrew produced most of his songs free of charge, but he also allowed paid commissions. Initially, the runtime of free songs was maxed out at, for some reason, 1:11 (one minute and eleven seconds). No idea where that number came from. Anyway, I've come up with a themed, binary classification system for STWPT song length, regardless of paid status:
Shorts include songs that are 1:11 (rounded down) or shorter.
Longjohns include songs that are 1:12 (rounded up) or longer.
(Posts that include both labels cover both an original version that was 1:11 or shorter AND an extended version that I would classify as a "Longjohn.")

Mood
The following labels are subjective assessments of a song's affect or mood, based on a combination of the music and/or lyrics. Your mileage may vary, but hopefully we agree for the most part!
Other
All other labels are listed here. They tend to be meta descriptors.
