“Let the Games Begin was inspired by the theatre of legendary rock concerts I have attended from Springsteen to the Stones, and from Australia’s, the Angels to AC/DC” says John Huggart, “And what these events share with the immersive anticipation, tension and thrills of the biggest sporting events”.

Keen on any feedback thanks :)

The wellness program starts today
And I just came here to hear what they say
They say no judgment, it’s OK
It’s safe to be here, you’ve found your place

Welcome to your getaway
Breathe in deep, then meditate

And you don’t even have to pay
Unless of course, you can donate
But don’t forget to spread the word
Say your truth and you’ll be heard

Welcome to you getaway
Breathe in deep, then meditate
And you don’t even have to pay
Unless of course you can donate
Welcome to your getaway

I wrote this song in 1987 and the song was released in 1988 as the AA side to our debut 7” vinyl single for Jang Rok, titled “Rockin’ On Xmas”.  My original band mate and I finally recorded a contemporary version for release in 2025.
Love Always - You meet, and fall in love - fast, fervent, and forever - until it is gone, the very next day. This is youth, ever hopeful, optimistic, never discouraged - move on. Perhaps it is a sad song, but it sounds happy - because thats how we feel about the prospect of love - until it is gone, the very next day.

Love Always

Love Always (1988 Original Release)

Due for release in 2026.  Would apreciate any feedback on what genre you think this is!  And whether you like the song :)

Lyrics:
I don’t know what it is about my life
A young mans passions happiness and strife
My world keeps falling and its getting down
Pretty soon I hope that things will turn around
	
But I know, Yes I know sometimes 
That what you see and what you get are
Different things and so I sit back down
And listen in to
DJ say sincerely that chill house swing is a here to stay
(And) That will get me through another night and another day

No Ordinary Day

But then you came along
You turn me inside out
The futures bright ahead 
Now things have turned …

La da da dada da da dada da da da

The wrongs have gone now things are going right
This young mans passion runs into the night
The world keeps spinning and I’m finding out
Life’s pretty good now things have turned around

Well what do you know there I was a boy
Living like a man in a grown up world
Yeah your doin’ fine, keeping your feet on the ground and your best one forward

Because you came along, now things have turned

La da da dada da da dada da dada

Turn Around

I had to take my Dad into Aged Care with dementia.  It was gutting - and this song was written when I got home, attempting to write from his perspective.
Due for release in 2026

Lyrics:
I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to stay
You cant leave me here, This is not my place

Why does the water, Taste like wine
I’m not stupid, When you leave me behind

I don’t belong here
I shouldn’t stay
One day, I’ll fly away

I’m used to people, I’m good that way
But the people here, Are just not OK

I look through the window, I follow the sun
I saw the plane, I used to be on

My door is open, And where I lay
Theres a small pile, They’ll take away

I Don't Belong Here

Even in my darkest hours, waking in a cold sweat
I’d still swear my love for you, hold myself to all that’s true
Shadows in the sky grow longer, falling down like boulders to the ground
Just like living in a dream, but I’m watching on TV
  
You can take my life, shut me down turn off the lights
I’ll never lose my faith, hope and love
You can try and scare me, think that you control me
I’ll never lose my faith, hope and love
 
Young enough to feel the passion, old enough to know the reasons why
I hear voices in my head, begging me to stay in bed


How do people go on?  
In the face of war or tyranny.  
I was paralysed with fear watching events unfold with September 11 followed by the Bali attack in 2002 and I wondered why do people continue to dream, marry and have children.  And then in 2020 it is a global Pandemic.
Ultimately it is because faith, hope and love is stronger than fear.  Faith in a god or a purpose or belief.  Hope for a better future.  And love of family, friends and community.
I wrote this in 2002 when our children were young.  It was a special moment to have Charlotte join me and record this song at Vienna People Studio in Annandale, Sydney Australia in 2020 with Michael McGlynn as producer, backing vocals, percussion, guitar and keyboards, John Huggart on guitar and Charlotte Huggart (Unah Music) on lead vocals.
