Locked in the studio during #lockdown2021 I breathed with this haunting piece and made use of the instruments around me, including a broken toy guitar (no Oud available 😅)

Nostalgic 60s film vibes. Recorded on my MacBook in a little cabin on Bulli Beach 🛖

A cover I recorded of one of my favourite songs to sing, the classic standard 'The Way You Look Tonight', originally penned by Fields & Kern. Enjoy!

When the War is Over - Cold Chisel Cover

Sitting by the cradle singing softly, I wrote this for my brand new little daughter <3

Lyrics:

Diamond starlight in your eyes
And I am weeping
Standing by your bed

How could I receive a love so innocent
Heaven sent

So I’ll do my darnedest, I’ll break my back
I’ll find my courage

You’re what I’ve been looking so hard to find
Sing your song and I’ll sing along
I’ll try my hardest

Little baby, my ageless pride
You’ve landed in my lonely life

Take me on a journey down
Away from myself
You and your generosity

Pretty baby
I’ll be your safety
Someplace between the moon and the deepest night

Starlight (For Clarisse)

My good friends Dean Nash, Tristan Waldock and Lachlan Skinner and I jammed out my soulful arrangement of the Fleetwood Mac classic in honour of Dean's late father. It was a blast!

Lyrics:

I do and don’t want love
I sure waited long enough
You fly high, then you bust up
That’s why I,
I do and don’t want,
do and don’t want,
do and don’t want love

I do and don’t want trust 
I just can’t seem to open up
Someone say they’ve never passed the buck
I, I do and don’t want trust

I, I do and don’t want pain
Cause I can’t resist the beauty and the danger of the flame
When i die, write it on my grave
I, I do and don’t want pain

Once in a while you gotta work it on out and change your style
You gotta take back everything that you decided
And leave the world behind
Once every now and then you’ll find an enemy but then you’ll make a friend
Just don’t give up, don’t give up, no no no no

I Do And Don't Want Love

✨iPhone demos throwing up straight gold from 2012 ✨

Written after taking my wife for surgery to remove cancer, only 2 years into our marriage.

Lyrics

I remember 2 years ago
There on that ocean shore
Letting one life go as I took your hand
Your hand

I remember two months ago
Watching you get wheeled along
All alone

Tears in both my eyes
Helpless in both those times
Knowing something had to die
Die

Drinking deep of that bittersweet
