Remember the ideals of your youth? Remember the importance of being nice to each other, working hard and looking after the world of which we are the custodians? Me neither. I live in a nice house in the 'burbs though, I have a bunch of neat stuff, and cool right-on friends.

Tunnel Visions

Salad

Me showing ALL my melodica chops on this one. Originally written for the soundtrack to the Adelaide Rep's critically-acclaimed 2019 production of 'Look Back in Anger'. Good play.

Why do I do This Every Sunday? I'm Going Home

Title track of the album... it's certainly a thing.

Of course, it ain't the fall that kills you - it's the sudden stop... This tune is my take on the state of the environment. I guess collective responsibility is great until it leads to general apathy.

Ain't the Fall

Good old Woody Guthrie, he had a lot of insights, many of them as relevant today as when he wrote his songs in the Olden Days. Featured on this number is a banjolin that would have been Woody's contemporary; from my research it was built in the mid-1920s.

Slipknot

Another tune originally written for the soundtrack of the Adelaide Rep's critically-acclaimed 2019 production of 'Look Back in Anger'. Re-jigged from a trumpet piece to Spaghetti Western-style guitar and harmonica.

Fight or Get Out

Always loved this song, and the message within the lyrics. It neatly sums up the 'point' of this album, if there was one.

The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood

Firelight (and others)

Firelight

No Second Troy

A song from a different point of view than usual for me.

Caged Bird

Described by some as a True Artist, but by most as some guy who sings and plays music. Has also been compared favourably to His Bobness, Bob Dylan by a five year old one time.
