In Soviet Kitsch, there is a brief spoken word piece titled “Whisper”, in which Spektor and her brother, Barry (Bear) Spektor, discuss the following song on the album ("Your Honor").

Two tracks from Songs were later re-recorded and re-released by Spektor. The first, "Samson", also appeared in Begin to Hope. The second, "Ne Me Quitte Pas", was featured in What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, retitled as "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)". Unlike the 2002 version, which featured only Spektor and the piano, the 2012 one also includes a drum machine, horns and brass instruments.

A third version of "Ne Me Quitte Pas" was also released online, keeping the new, multi-instrument production, but replacing the English verses with Russian lyrics. The new rendition was titled "Не Покидай Меня".

Two of the tracks from Home, Before and After were previously only available through unofficial sources. "Raindrops" was an unreleased demo and "Loveology" was only performed live.
