While preparing for his 2004 European tour, Mike Tramp, former singer of White Lion and Freak of Nature, decided to look through his archives and compile some of the songs that were either demoed or recorded during the sessions of his solo-albums and simply were "left behind" for various reasons. The lefties ranging back from 1992 to 2002 are collected on the album Songs I left behind.
Mike Tramp: "Looking back at it, it is not that these songs are any better or worse than the material that ended up on the albums but they simply did not make it on the albums at that time. Sometimes a song just does not fit the sequence or the mood of the album even though it is a great song. Listening back to them I realized that this material was still better than a lot of the albums that are being released today and also felt that I had to get these out of the way before I could start working on new material".
Lukather played the guitars on Do it while you can, a left over from the More to life than this sessions in 2002.
