I recently heard Neil Finn and Paul Kelly's cover of 'Moon River' and was inspired to pick up the guitar and give it a go.

Moon River

Recently I was introduced to the music of Tim Buckley through watching "Greetings from Tim Buckley."
I was a massive fan of Jeff Buckley growing up in the Blue Mountains, however I hadn't ever heard a single song from his father, Tim.
After seeing "Greetings from Tim Buckley," I downloaded a whole lot of Tim's work and fell in love with the song 'Once I Was.' 

Once I Was

Dead Flowers (Cover)

Here's a cover of a Paul Kelly classic 'To Her Door'.
I remember the first time I heard this song: it was at The Home Tavern in Wagga Wagga.
I remember thinking to myself that I would love to learn how to play it, but nothing came of it. 
I guess I must have forgotten.

Late last year, whilst travelling on the road, I spotted Paul Kelly's biography ('How To Make Gravy') at a booksellers in Warrnambool.
My thoughts of the song were rekindled and I wanted to know more of this iconic Australian songwriter.
The book became my travelling companion for the rest of the tour across regional victoria and whenever I see it on the shelf I'll imagine trying to learn how to play his songs in the backstage of the theatres and halls we performed in.

To Her Door (Paul Kelly)

Here is a cover of Death Cab For Cutie's 'Into The Dark'.

I really like this song and enjoy playing it. My cover sounds a little country compared to the original.
This was the first song I heard of Death Cab For Cutie and although I am not a giant fan of theirs I do love this song of theirs.

Into The Dark (Death Cab For Cutie)

This song is written about a family visiting a relation with dementia.

Forgotten Man

I wrote this song today about my mate over in East Heidelberg.
My aim was to tell a story through the versus and have a feeling captured in the chorus.

(Thoughts Of) The Juggler

Here is a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Blind Willie McTell'.
I heard this song about a year ago and loved it right away.
Although I love Dylan's version on piano, I have recorded this one on the guitar.
Again, I love the storytelling in the song, which has led me to listen to some of Blind Willie McTell's songs.

Blind Willie McTell (Bob Dylan)

I have always loved this song, and recently found the time to record a cover of it on the laptop.

Across The Universe (Cover)

This song was written after leaving the family home.
