Love this song so much, I had to have a play :-D Recorded this in the space of an hour using Audacity and the gaming mic from my headset :-D Not too bad eh :-P Enjoy


Book Of Love - Peter Gabriel (Karl Austin Cover)

It's a cool lil Acoustic semi-hip hop number about how we are all gonna die from the way we treat our planet. Then it goes into the colourful ways it could happne, like robots, nukes, or even aliens :-D It was written back in 2006 and later recorded in a local studio (one take) with my old nylon string, acoustic guitar

No One Stopped to Help

The name says it all once again. I got home from town one night and was super hungry, started looking in the cupboards but it was all stuff that took a lot of cooking to prepare. The my eyes came across the toaster. After further inspection I found some super-thick white toast bread and all the toppings I needed :-D Written back in 2005 and recorded at our local studio with my nylon stringed acoustic

Golden Toast

This is a song that started off as a poem, and eventually got a guitar put to it. It's about that feeling you get when things are too much and no matter where you look there's nothing to stop you from falling hard and fast. Written back in 2007 and recorded at our local studio on my nylon acoustic

Too Sore

Here is a song written while I was living in a bus on my parents back yard. I ended up going for a mad walk to the beach with my guitar, and while I was down there saw a big fish in a lil bit of water. My kindygarden learning kicked in and I remembered that fish need to move in water to be able to breath, so I pick it up, carried it to the waves, set it free, then wrote this song as I walked back home. It was a beautiful day. Written back in 2004 and then recorded 2011 for the New Plymouth Singer Songwriters album Vol. 5

Beautiful Day

One of my few love songs. Pretty much about being High off someone. I wrote this over a bit of a space of time, then recorded it on my parents old dinosaur computer by just plugging in a desk and going for gold. Very rough draft of what I think is a beautiful song. Written 2010

High

A song about how the world keeps changing and moving on, but things get left behind. I used a lil ol' lady in a little fishing village as a metaphor for the whole concept. I think it's quite cool :-D

A Tale of Poor Mrs. Anderson

A beautiful song that even though it sounds like a love song, was never actually written for a girl. Red Hair and Green Eyes is a combination I find very attractive on a lady :-D

Red Haired, Green Eyed Beauty

One of my personal favourites. This song represents that lil voice inside all of us that tells us to chill out  or to forget your troubles and act like a kid for 15 minutes. It's about when you don't focus on all the wrong, but instead all the right. It's about enjoying life. Is that not what life is all about? Peace, Love and Positivity?

Peace, Love & Positivity

Here is a cover of an awesome song. I know, it's Disney. But I must admit I do like Aladdin and enjoy a lot of Disney music. I arranged this for a wedding a few years back then recorded this on my parents computer to give an idea of how it'd sound. Not bad at all I think :-D
