A Song for Jared is literally that a song for my little cousin, who is an absolute legend. I didn't really know how to say what I felt about his life choices without sounding like a total judgemental ass, and I guess it must have bottled up inside me, because this is the result. It is an average home recording, but definitely heartfelt in the lyrics and composition. looking back over this track, it definitely needs to be re-worked so the message is less noise, but enjoy the original for the moment until I am able to get the new version uploaded for your listening pleasure. 

A Song for Jared Demo

The Killing Tree is actually a real place up in the Kimberley in Western Australia. We camped on the Pentacost River, while doing a 3 month trek along the Gibb-River Road, and we had a couple locals tell us the story. The song I have written has no real relevance to the original sort, but the atmosphere out there was very surreal, creepy almost, so I ended up writing a very dark story song. The energy out in the Kimberley, although completely stunning and awe-inspiring, is completely wild. The chorus goes on to say "No-one will ever know but me", and that is truly how I felt out there! I hope you enjoy, the recordings are rough home recordings, but the intent is there.

This song is really different to my others. I wrote this in about an hour, it still needs work, but I just feel that I needed to share it now :)Tell me what you guys think about it!

She Said delves into the pressure of wanting a lover and fighting against settling. Sometimes its a sight easier to settle for the temporary company, than the risk of being hurt, irrecoverably. 
Youth is so bloody confusing. This is a taste of the darker side of Jodie's new EP "She Said", total track!

She Said

I could never explain to my girl friends, how much I appreciated a well grown lumberjack beard on a man. the words just didn't seem to explain the depth of my love for the facial haired men out there, so I wrote a song. A song that explains the thoughts running through my mind when I see magnificently bearded man, and then the social conundrum of not knowing the man personally, wanting to touch his beard, and whether he is going to be violated, or entertained by this. It is a problem I face daily. 

The Boy Had A Beard

This song I wrote when I was made redundant from an underground mine I had worked at for 6 years. I really didn't know what to do with myself. Then my mum said one day, "Why don't you just do your music and see what happens? You don't have to rule the word Jodie." It really hit home. I have no need for fame, power or prestige. I just want to love what I am doing, lead a happy life and do my best at being a good person. Break Free goes a little way to explaining that.
