Free Your Mind (Live) - Jasmine

This song was written during an epic train journey from Perth to Adelaide, when we were performing on the iconic Indian Pacific Rail. 
It was an amazing and fun adventure!

The Nullarbor Song

Written as a poem at the 2014/15 Woodford Folk Festival and turned into a song shortly afterwards. The simple arrangement belies a powerful song.

lyrics
I am brimming with sadness 
Waves of grief crash on my brow 
Not mine to keep just a custody 
Trapped behind bars of my frown 

Overflowing with sadness 
Like salted rain it trickles down 
I’m right here planted in pity 
I try to speak but choke it down 

Chorus 
I know that it won’t last, all things have to change 
My mood is just a visitor, flowing through this space 
I suppose that it takes time, to see what I’ve become 
I hope that you still think of me, with every setting sun 

Misaligned with sadness 
Quietly unkind 
Sitting with my feelings 
Taking my sweet time 

Please come back from sadness 
Reconciliate 
You mean the world to me 
I’ll see you when you feel safe 

Chorus 
I know that it won’t last, all things have to change 
My mood is just a visitor, flowing through this space 
I suppose that it takes time, to see what I’ve become 
I hope that you still think of me, with every setting sun 

I know that it won’t last, all things have to change 
My mood is just a visitor, flowing through this space 
I suppose that it takes time, to see what I’ve become 
Know that I'll still think of you, with every setting sun

CONDUIT

Every Setting Sun

A tune I wrote for my Grandfather at the request of my Mother. I challenged myself by writing something slightly harder than I could play and then practiced rigourously to be able to pull it off. A tribute to a man who always strives for his best and has inspired me immensely.

Forte's Album

Grandfather

Written in collaboration with Curtis Medley in England shortly after arriving in Europe for my folk music pilgrimage in 2018. I was inspired by a street festival in Cornwall and channelled the sound of a loud punk band into the guitar part. I chatted with Curtis about the intention of the song and he wrote and performed the spoken word part. We recorded it in his lounge room in Kendal, the "Gateway to the Lake District".
