!! Tropes
* CoverVersion: Quite a few.
** Possibly the most well known example from him is the cover of Music/{{Buzzcocks}}' "Ever Fallen in Love" made for the 2004 animated movie ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2''.
** His 2021 {{cover album}} ''Pete Yorn Sings the Classics'', which is basically ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, with covers from songs by the Music/{{Pixies}}, Music/BobDylan, Music/DianaRoss, Music/TheBeachBoys and Music/TheStoneRoses, among a few others.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: the album covers ''musicforthemorningafter'', ''Day I Forgot'', ''Nightcrawler'', his self-titled album, ''Caretakers'', and his live albums; ''Live From New Jersey'', ''Live at KCRW'' and ''Live at the Troubadour''. ''musicforthemorningafter'' and ''Day I Forgot'' are mixed examples due to coloured text in their album cover.
** Music video-wise, the ones for "Someday, Someday" and "I Wanna Be the One".
* EitherOrTitle: "For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)", "Carlos (Don't Let It Go to Your Head)" and "Idols (We Don't Ever Have to Say Goodbye)".
* FaceOnTheCover: All of his albums qualify, with the exception of his self-titled album, ''Caretakers'' and ''Hawaii''.
* LocationSong: "Halifax".
* LongestSongGoesLast: A weird example with "So Much Work" from ''Day I Forgot'', in which clocks at 4:47, barely closer to the five minute mark but still longer than anything on the rest of the album.
* MsFanservice: Model Charlotte [=McKinney=] in the music video for "I'm Not the One".
* OneManSong: "Murray", "Carlos (Don't Let It Go to Your Head)".
* OneWomanSong: "For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)" and "Miss Alien".
* {{Portmantitle}}: ''musicforthemorningafter'' and ''[=ArrangingTime=]''
* SopranoAndGravel: Yorn and Johansson in the collaborative album ''Break Up''.
* TitleOnlyChorus: "''[='=]Cos it already is!''"
* VocalEvolution: Yorn's voice has gotten deeper over the years, and has become less prone to singing nasally.
* {{Yarling}}: Pretty frequent in early albums, especially in the debut.
