Look Into My Eyes

-

This song runs off a bass line.  It addresses the self-judgment that remains after long years of being socially dysfunctional, and living with constant lies.

What Am I Worth?

February was another busy month, which kicked off with a studio photo shoot down in Lake Macquarie.  Awesome images created while having so much fun - thanks, Naomi! Music for World Peace released "What am I Worth".  I performed guitar and vocals, then Taylor Sappe produced the track. It's a song about the refugee experience from an Australian perspective.  Check it out via the Spotify link above. I did a half hour performance for Giving Gigs, which was scheduled for a Friday night slot (in USA and Canada's time zone).  The recording has close to 400 views, so far.  How good is that?! What else happened?  I was up at Banshee's for two open mic nights this month.  Always a great enviroment to be part of and nice to catch up with nice people. Stevie T continues to play my songs on his Monday night Songwriters Showcase.  Tune in to 101FM Radio Logan between 10.15 and 10.45 pm (AEST) for a listen. Thanks, Steve! COMING UP! Highlight your calendars!...

I was on annual leave for several weeks in May, holiday-ing at home for the most part.  It was a chance to relax, re-set and catch up on a few missions. One mission was to enter six songs in the 2025 Australian Songwriting Contest.  It's my fifth time entering and I wanted to put in a cross-section of my work, so chose songs that fit six different categories.   I chose to enter my latest three songs - "Till It's Gone" (Ballad), "What Am I Worth" (Spiritual) and "Beat Of The Clock" (Folk).  These three songs are all different in the way they sound, their structure and subject matter.   I also entered two earlier songs. "Mona" is a good fit for Comedy/Novelty and "Going Home" went into the Australian category.  I still like my older songs.  I produce and perform newer songs but when listening to my older stuff, I feel they remain relevant.   "Breathe, Miss Sunshine" made it to the Top 30 list previously, when I first ent...

Till It's Gone ...

March is rushing along!  After prepping for Cyclone Alfred and possible flooding, I holed up in my studio for a couple of days to produce "Till It's Gone" - which released on 26 March.   I'm pleased with how it turned out.  It's another breakup song but also a breakthrough one.  How is it different? This is my first released song where I've written directly about me, rather than me writing about someone else.   Have a listen at the link below.  And praps check out some of my other releases - now 46 in total.  My other focus this month has been prepping for my Live and Local gig at Banshee's on 13 April.  Check the posters in the sidebar and on the Live tab for all the details! "Till It's Gone" prompted the theme of my setlist - songs about relationships not going well, for various reasons.  I've had a few of those.
