Well yeah. Those songs turned out quite progressive.
There are those certain themes, but at the same time i felt like adding this section and the this and this. And finally ended up with song that has no repeated melodies whatsoever.

It depends on the song. Sometimes i have the verses chorus parts there. I just try not to repeat myself in every song (which is quite hard btw). I counted that I have like over 60 home recorded songs now. Close to 3 and ½ hours of stuff.
So there are lot of songs from various categories. They all have they weaknesses of course, because they are just home recorded "let see how it turns out" songs.
