It's an interesting question - am enjoying reading the responses.

All of mine are named after a song on the album. I know albums have probably seen their heyday but I have always loved concept albums and albums that follow a (sometimes loose) theme. To me, the whole of those is always greater than the sum of its parts.

That's what I tend to do - not reaching that goal of course but shooting for it. smile

So if I write a song I particularly like, I start to wonder if it could be part of a theme. If so, I'll start writing to that theme. Most often the title of the album is the title of that first song but not always. Occassionally, I write a song to the theme that has a title that expresses the theme better and then end up using that.
