The beginning track of my new album: 'Wordless|Still - Odyssey' (available iTunes and just about everywhere else), set right in the middle of city.

glued in time (instrumental edit)

Here you go guys a little exclusive mix for the holidays. It started out just being a little edit for social media to really showcase the strings, but the reaction from you all was insane so I decided to drop it. Now it's honestly my favourite version of the song so I really hope you all like it!

glued 2 deep in time (Aaron Hibell Edit)

An early glimpse of some of the sounds that I've been creating. It is unfinished.
The track has a long intro before it gets into the groove, so you're welcome to soak it up and then dance tribal style. Enjoy!

War Cry

I wrote this song on a plane home in attempts to put on paper how I was feeling at the time. The lyrics describe themselves, so I hope you enjoy this song! :)

Another original I have written recently, enjoy :)

In Two Minds is an Aussie/NZ song writing duo consisting of Ray Goodwin (known for his time in Aussie/NZ Rock band Dragon and later John Paul Young & The All Stars) and Pasko Schravemade (Keyboardist for Charlie McMahon). In Two Minds is all about fresh harmonic progressions, timeless melodies and unique band feel. Their new single ‘Crooked Crown’ looks with hope to a future guided by Indigenous knowledge, where land and resources are sacred treasures, not just commodities to be possessed or exploited.

Ray Goodwin wrote much of the lyrics in Crooked Crown. Rays ancestors were Tongans on one side and Scottish immigrants to Lutriwita (Tasmania), surveyors working for the Crown whose duties in the Colonisation process saw the Indigenous owners tragically dispossessed. Ray’s active association with the Coloured Diggers Memorial, with Ray Minniecon and the Babana Men’s Group are integral in his musical efforts to right wrongs and shine a light in the interests of national harmony. Aboriginal Elder Ray Minniecon’s striking voice is heard at the beginning of ‘Crooked Crown’ saying, ‘All have the same blood surging through our veins, all called to steward, to care for sacred space’. It is a call for one and all to realise our responsibility to our world and to each other.

Front man for In Two Minds, Pasko Schravemade recently worked with Charlie McMahon and the Falzon brothers on the music for the Outback Brothers TV show which recently aired on Australia’s Channel 9 network. During production of the show, Pasko was struck by the extremes of the outback and how groups like the Pintupi thrived using only their traditional knowledge of the land. 
lyrics
Crooked Crown

V1
All have the same blood, 
Surging through our veins
All called to steward
To care for sacred space
 
We crawled up from the surf
Given us from birth
Sand through my fingers
Sand through my hands
Sipped the sacred wine
Then they drew the line
Battled shackled bodies and our minds

Crooked crown
On stolen ground
Back to the people
The caretakers hands
 One blood one earth
One love one earth
One blood one earth
One love one earth

V2
 So swept beneath the sands
So painful were our lands 
Where does the guilty finger point
Is it you?
Go forward hand in hand
Let’s rebuild this land
Forgiving, not forgetting
In our love
 
Crooked crown
To sacred Ground
Back to the people
The caretakers hands
Crooked crown
Is slipping down
One blood one earth
One love one earth
 
Can you buy the rain
Pin down the sea
And sell it back to me?
 One blood one earth
One love one earth
 Pulling down the trees
Diverting streams
They sell it back to me
 
Crooked crown
Is slipping down
Back to the people
The caretakers hands
Crooked crown
To Sacred Ground
 One blood one earth
One love one earth
 One blood one earth
One love one earth
 One blood one
One love one
One blood one
One love one
One blood one earth
 
We the people
Join together 
Elders present
To the youngest children
We the people
One with the land
Take back a mother
Our history
Our sacred ground
