Tropes relating to SpinachPuffs
Tropes relating to his music project, songsfrompaul
- The Artist Formerly Known As KronksSpinachPuffs
- Breakaway Pop Hit: The only trock song he ever released is also his most-watched original song on YouTube by a country mile.
- Black Sheep Hit: His song "Feel The Rain" continues to gain a lot of views thanks to the connection with the lyrics of Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten".
- Cover Version: His current music project, "The A-Z of Covers", is nothing but this trope.
- Everything Is an Instrument: Especially when creating percussion sounds. Items include an empty drink bottle, a Nintendo DSi and a blue plastic box from Ikea.
- Evolving Music: What started out as an acoustic guitar and one vocal track recorded on a webcam microphone has turned into something much more sophisticated.
- Gratuitous Panning: His first album is a little guilty of this.
- Last Chorus Slow Down: As heard in You Are Not Alone as The Master dies.
- Medley: One of Gorillaz songs and another using The Killers.
- New Sound Album: Compared to his first album, his next one probably falls under this trope. Once it's actually finished.
- No Hit Wonder: songsfromwho?
- Not Christian Rock: As he is a Christian, certain songs of his have obvious subtexts.
- One Man Band: Drums, bass, guitar and vocals are all done by one guy (with the help of some MIDI software).
- Rerelease the Song: His next album will feature full-band versions of his very first YouTube releases.
- Rhythm Typewriter: As seen in his cover of Can't.
- Scientific Progress Goes Oi: He's currently studying electrical engineering.
- Self-Backing Vocalist: If there are backing vocals, then this trope is in effect. Taken to extremes in his Nightmare Before Christmas cover, where he portrays every single citizen of Halloween Town.
- Self-Titled Album: The abandoned album planned for 2010 would have likely been self-titled.
- Stage Names: Subverted in that Paul is his real name, but he only ever releases music under "songsfrompaul".
- Tick Tock Tune: The unreleased "Clockwork Love", based on the Clockwork Droids.
- Wasted Song: Despite the fact that it's probably the best track on the album and that Glasgow provides no shortage of rain to film it in, "Rainy Days" never received a YouTube video.
