Spielberg’s famous anti-war film, Saving Private Ryan, depicts a mission by US soldiers, led by Captain John Miller, to extract James Ryan whose three brothers were killed in battle. The mission is ordered in order to spare Ryan’s family the loss of all their sons. Ryan is saved, but the captain is killed. His dying words to Ryan are ‘earn it’. The film ends, fast forwarding many decades where Ryan, now an older man, stands at John Miller’s grave, reflecting on whether he has led a good life, whether he has lived up to Miller’s beseeching words to ‘earn it’. ‘Tell me I have led a good life’, ‘Tell me I’m a good man’, he says. It's a moving scene, reflecting an intimate internal tale, one about self-doubts and moral debts. I always liked this film, and I thought the theme of moral self-reflection and doubt – doubts about who we are, really – might form the basis for a song. 
And this is that song.

Who am I?

Alexander King parachuted into our town from New Orleans via Brisbane and set up a recording studio. We combined on this song 'Collect the Moment' which I'd just written on piano.

Collect the Moment

You in sintered glass buildings - trapped in recycled air
And I the frequent advisor - holding a too long stare
Do hormones control decisions – I ruminate in silence
While you the puppet’s mistress - are still non-compliant
As a gaggle collects - a space encroachment    
And I brush your arm to collect the moment 
Is it just I who’s a physical poet?
Did you brush my arm to collect the moment?

Now here’s the start of something - a fomenting act two
A party has erupted and lava like here’s you
The music creates a wall – an easy place to hide
To move the chess pieces – silently they glide
Randomly dancing – it’s I the proponent
And I brush your arm to collect the moment
Is it just I who’s a physical poet?
Did you brush my arm to collect the moment?

What do they mean these tactile encounters
Just a small hill or a range of mountains

And naked by proximity – alone in a lift
This accident of timing – embarrassment or gift?
We blurt it out together – something about today
And then an awkward silence – my courage gone astray
But we’re squeezed together through the door’s opening
And I brush your arm to collect the moment
Is it just I who’s a physical poet?
Did you brush my arm to collect the moment?

Howdy folks! I'm very proud to introduce this track - my second collab with Mood Exhibit. And just a little taste of Iceland. It has been sitting in my hard drive for some time and even after 6 months never let me down once.

Thank you for the inspiration!

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

Backfire

For Pride 2023, a few days early... even my happy songs are sad lol

I don’t know how many sleepless nights
I’ve spent along the riverside
Searching for some kind of light
To call my own
‘Cause you kept me down for so long
That the darkness seemed like all I've known
I never dreamed that the light was right here all along

Now I'm Leaving the dark behind. I’m ready to let love shine!

I’m not gonna be the bad guy in your story
Or the fall guy for your glory
Why do you knock me down just to make yourself look strong?
The road that I'm on leads to a world you'll never know
But that don’t mean it’s wrong
Your path is yours, and my path is all my own

A world of my own design And i’m gonna take the time to…!  

Celebrate the life we’re living
Celebrate the love we’re given
Our time while we are young
Celebrate the friends here with us
Celebrate the ones we're missing
Celebrate Until we’re filled with laughter, life and love

There’s something in me that you despise
And for that i won’t apologize
I'll forgive and forget, I’m not angry at the world anymore
‘cause i realize how far I've come
And all the friends I’ve lost and loved  
Who has time for people who don’t know what love is for?

I’ll leave them all behind And i believe it’s time to…!

War will never bring you peace
Understanding’s what we need

Celebrate! (Pride 23)
