What kind of world are we living in when our rights are being trampled?, the sad part is that so many don't realize it, the reasons that horrific wars were fought. 

When ideologies control the populous, war is inevitable, when the fundamental rights and obligations to life that you have been raised to adhere to as a set of values is compromised, 

Do we sit on our arses and allow it to happen or do we make a stand to keep our identity and way of life?

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

This song is many things to many people around the world right now April 2021, I never thought I would see the day that so many people would let their liberty be stripped from them all at the one time, sadly... 

This is not the first time in history that this has happened.

The Lockdown

A nice laid back tune, when you have taken all you can, they say you have a careless heart after you switch off, they never care about the journey that made you that way, but are happy to judge the result.

Careless Heart

With the world the way it is, the foundations are crumbling, because complacency is allowing it, enforced by corrupt and maligned leadership. 
We need new leaders, world wide.

Who's Gonna Save Us

Not often I write songs that can bring a room of people to tears, this was unintentional, but I have a deep love of my home Australia. 

This song is written as a tribute to all Australians, particularly our emergency and front line workers that bravely risk their lives to help strangers, and often with little or no reward. 

In these times our country needs a bit of a hand up, a reminder of who we are, what we represent and our value to each other and the world. 

Virus or no virus, people should never lose focus of our identity and the things that make us all proud Australians. 

God Bless Australia.

Flashlight (live)

Flashlight (Live)

Living in the age of technology, adults are a thing of the past, our young are only learning from computers and the essence of humanity is fading, the only way to turn this around, is to listen to the world. 

by that I mean listen to the farmers, The miners, the merchants, the people that make the world turn as opposed to arguing the ideals of those that mean to stop it.

Listen to the world

Listen To The World

Looking at the world, Do I stand for my rights to humanity or cower like a scared kitten in a storm?

I will not be one to go quietly, not now, not ever, Jam you vax up your fucking arse.

Close My Eyes (acoustic)

Love songs has never been my strong point haha, this song is about that, I have never been lucky in love, where I have been cheated on, used, lost everything, manipulated and burned to the core, I always remember one girl from my past that I should never have left. 

To make any kind of positive vibe on love for me, I always think of her and the silly things I would do to impress her, no other person on the planet has ever made me feel that way. 

So I guess I should stop looking into the past.

INTO THE PAST

Into the past

The world has changed so much, its hard to capture it in one song and keep it upbeat, so I have given it a go... Please let me know what you think :), and be kind enough to share it. 

It's no secret that I do not support Mandates and coercive behaviour of any kind, people's freedom is the most important thing we all have, something we have fought for time and time again as societies.

Band comes Marching

So many of our country men and women are in protest of Tyranny, The Tyrants themselves living on borrowed time, our Useless, overpaid and completely stupid national politicians are so gutless that they watch our country burn before them.

The people of our nation need to stand together and say no to tyrannical rule, no to ANY and ALL breaches of our constitution. 

I make no apologies for being proud of the nation thats given me so much and I will be damned if I will let anyone put Australia in harms way. 

If you have a problem with our nation then you are an enemy of it, you poke and prod at our values, then you have no right to be here.

End of story. 

Enjoy the song :)

WHISPERING FREEDOM

Whispering Freedom

WHEN PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH, THE POWER WILL DROP OUT AND ANARCHY WILL REIGN SUPREME...

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO STOP IT?

Lights Go Down

So the lads had a bit of fun in the studio...
A satirical take on men's dating in Perth Western Australia. 

THIS SONG IS NOT FOR THE SENSITIVE..

Superbly Designed (Featuring Dale Priest)

Stay Away

Some of us need to express our thoughts differently to others, yes this contains some language.

I DON'T CARE FOR THE WORDS THAT THEYRE USING
I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAY ON THE STREET 
I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY TRY TO TELL ME 
I'LL BE STANDING RIGHT HERE ON MY FEET 

I DON'T CARE IF THE TRY TO CONTROL ME
I DON'T CARE IF THEY BRING ME TO TEARS
I DON'T CARE IF THE BRING THEIR GUNS AT ME 
I REFUSE TO GIVE IN TO THEIR FEARS

I DON'T CARE IF THEY WANT TO HATE ME
I DON'T CARE COZ I KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT
I DON'T CARE FOR THE LIES THAT THEY SELL ME
AS LONG AS WE STAND HERE UNITED AND FIGHT

CHORUS
AND IT'S OUR FREEDOM
AND IT'S OUR FREEDOM

VERSE 2
I DON'T CARE WHEN THEY TRY TO ENFORCE ME
I DON'T CARE THEY TRY MAKE THE CALL
I DON'T CARE IF THEY WANT TO ANNOY ME
I DON'T CARE, NOT ONE BIT AT ALL

I DON'T CARE WHEN THE ASK ME TO SHOW THEM
I DON'T CARE I DON'T SPEND IN THE PLACE
I DON'T CARE WHEN THEY PUSH THE INJECTION
I DON'T CARE FOR THEIR PUNCH IN THE FACE

I DON'T CARE FOR POLITICAL PROMISE
I DON'T CARE FOR THE TROJANS THEY BRING
I DON'T CARE FOR THE ANGER IT'S BROUGHT US
I DON'T CARE FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING THING

I DON'T CARE WHEN THE DUMB EDUCATE ME
I DON'T CARE FOR POLICE ANY MORE
I DON'T CARE FOR THE MANDATES THAT KILL US
I PROMISE YOU ONE DAY WE'LL EVEN THE SCORE

NOW SING THIS PART AND TRY TO REMEMBER
THE REASONS THAT WE CAME TO THIS PLACE
WAS NEVER EVER TO LIVE OR DIE LIKE A COWARD
NOW GET THAT FUCKING MASK OFF YOUR FACE

CHANT (SING WITH ME) 
WOH OH WOH IT'S OUR FREEDOM 
WOH OH WOH IT'S OUR FREEDOM

CHORUS
IT'S OUR FREEDOM 
IT'S OUR FREEDOM 
IT'S OUR FREEDOM 
IT'S OUR FREEDOM 

OH ONCE A JOLLY SWAGMAN...
HE NEVER GAVE UP
HE NEVER GAVE UP

IT'S OUR FREEDOM

Not all songs are political, sometimes you write straight from the heart, this one has been a while in the making, still keeping with the slower genre, maintaining a powerful sound and feel, please enjoy

Taken Apart

I have been experimenting with using my lower register, this song is a song about not forgetting who we are.

Alan MacGregor - Many Days

When asked to write a love song, for some of us , it's like writing fiction

Alan MacGregor - Burned

Depression is a horrible thing to have as a part of your life, it effects everyone and it's deadly. 

If you know someone thats suffering depression, seems lonely, distancing themselves out of the ordinary, have a chat to them, see if they are ok, it never hurts to ask, it only hurts when ignored.

Alan MacGregor - One Foot Forward

When you understand freedom, you understand the things you may need to let go

Alan MacGregor - Said Goodbye

Sometimes when you cant sleep, you need to write what's on your mind, generally for a lot of separated and alienated fathers, it's their children, they think about.

ALAN MACGREGOR - CHERISH

Sometimes you need to write songs about the political climate without sounding preachy

Alan MacGregor - Before The Water

A story about domestic violence through the eyes of an outsider, this is the acoustic version.

Alan MacGregor - The Flame (ACOUSTIC)

There are many ways this song can be taken, Its meant in the sense of a man thats lost the will to love again.

She took it all

An easy listening song I wrote while sitting beside a fire

The Road

Beside the fire

Sometimes I like to have a bit of fun and a laugh, when talking to my German shepherd Max one day in the back yard, I was wondering what was going on in his mind, and how I wished I could trade places for a while...lol

Clap along and have some fun with this one

Sleep All Day

Every person has their demons..

Recorded With Matt Hughes and Jayden Hinton

Sweet satellite

Well, there are many political advocates that this song could apply to, particularly in Western Australia.. hahaha

Microchip (single)

A bit of a Tribute to the land I have called home most of my life and the people that protect and rescue us when times are bad, I am proud to call myself an Australian

Flashlight (single)

A bit of a love song, inspired by friends, 
Thank you for the praise and encouragement 
:)


Is this Love - Lyrics

Been on my mind
now for days 
and I can't sleep
thinking about her

I met her on 
the Saturday night
at my best
friends Party

She managed 
to say the right
things at all
the right times

She got me careless 
and fumbling
lost for words 
I dont know..

Tell me is 
this love x 4

Now all Im 
thinking about
is the next time 
I see her

And if she's 
wearing that dress 
I won't know 
what to say

Thats not okay
I need to know 

Tell me is 
this love x 4

So far out 
of touch 
I don't know
who I am 

So far out 
of touch 
I don't know
if its love...

And now I've 
asked for her 
number, I think
I should call her

Nothing ventured 
nothing gained or 
I guess I'll 
never know

Tell me is 
this love x 4

So far out 
of touch 
I don't know
who I am 


So far out 
of touch 
I don't know
if its love...


Tell me is 
this love x 4

Is This Love

This song features the Australian National Anthem, 
Obviously those words weren't written by me, 
the arrangement has been and the original take on it may be open to scrutiny.. 

I love Australia and who we are as people, I want the best for our kids.

I think too many people have forgotten what these words mean and what it is to be an Australian. 

Our country is much more than the government that speaks on behalf of us, we are a people, we are a culture unto ourselves and nothing is going to take that away from any of us. 

Sometimes when you stand back and have a good look, you might not like the direction we're going. 

Advance Australia fair by Alan MacGregor

Imaging trying to count
And you don't 
know any numbers
All you see are
the piles
stacking up

Imagine trying to live
while the clock
keeps turning backwards
Trying to keep 
yourself from
cracking up

And they keep
selling off 
the water

And now they're
trying to 
steal the air

Imagine trying to breathe
And they're charging
by the hour
so now you see
All the nursing homes
drying up

and our rights
to life now
are withering
like a flower
laying out in
the sun
Baking away on 
the ground 

And they keep
selling off 
the water

And now they're
trying to 
steal the air

I'm thinking of 
our sons and 
daughters
Singing
Advance Australia 
Fair

ohhh

Australians all let 
us rejoice for 
we are young
and free

with golden soils 
and wealth for toil
our home is 
girt by sea

And they keep
selling off 
the water

And now they're
trying to 
steal the air

I'm thinking of 
our sons and 
daughters
Singing
Advance Australia 
Fair

ohhh

Australians all let 
us rejoice for 
we are young
and free

with golden soils 
and wealth for toil
our home is 
girt by sea

Our land abounds
in natures gifts
of beauty 
rich and rare

In history's page
let every stage
Advance Australia 
Fair

With joyful strain
let us sing 
Advance Australia fair

With Joyful strain 
Oh let the 
children sing
Advance Australia 
Fair

Sons and Daughters Sing Advance Australia Fair

I like to play around with some ideas, pluck the guitar and see what happens :)
