I set some music to the Patti Smith poem 'Death Of A Tramp' from her book Auguries Of Innocence. 

Death Of A Tramp

'Triggy' the three legged cat roams around my neighbourhood and sometimes comes to visit. He likes milk and tuna and leaving fur everywhere. He can do most things that four legged cats can do. This song is for him!

Today I sat down to write a short story..nope just another song! 

The Beating Drum

Proserpina! Proserpina! come home to mama, come home to mama now. 

Proserpina


A rule of thumb
no compass or clue
of what's to come
mind on the mountain

Mind On The Mountain

I wrote a little tune today called 'If I lean In' 

If I Lean In

I was on a little family holiday/songwriting trip recently in Byron Bay. My Mum, Sister and I made a pitstop to Surfers Paradise before our flight back to Melbourne. It's a weird scene there, felt very out of place..good fodder for songwriting though! 

One Day In Surfers Paradise

Wooden Fish Song

All the dead poets
Lying in the ground
With Beautiful tombstones
And words for the well 

Out Of The Dirt

I covered Emma Russack's 'You Shouldn't' from her latest album You Changed Me. 

You Shouldn't (Emma Russack Cover)

Light Of Day

Where is my harmony
Where is my friend
Her voice I hear loud and clear
Only now in my head 

Tiniest Seed (angel Olsen Cover)

The moon is low tonight
And the ceilings are high
You said, head spinning
Amongst the Christmas lights
