I worked out recently that it was OK to write songs from the perspective of other people. So, this song isn't about me. It came about after singing at a couple of Open Mic Nights hosted by the Veterans Motorcycle Club. I'd been trying to write a song about the experience of Military Veterans for a while but the lyrics always sounded cheesy and cliched until now (I hope).

This is a fairly rough recording but it's a bit of a warts and all song anyway. I've also sat on the lyrics for a few months changing them here and there. But tomorrow is ANZAC Day and I wanted to get the song out there.

Lest We Forget.

One's Too Many

These lyrics come from a poem by my friend Sam. She didn't mind that I changed them around a bit and added some more. So I guess it's about her but also about me as well. Living alone and getting comfortable with silence can be a challenge.

Silence

This is my next step along the journey of writing about or from the perspective of another person. Songs I write about myself always end up sounding hollow in my opinion. Please remember that these are recordings made in my lounge room with basic equipment.

Infinite

My cover of The Church's "Under The Milky Way".
With very deep gratitude to Todd and Suzy for inspiring me to pick up a guitar after a very long time. And for anyone brave enough to listen. Recorded Christmas Day 2018.

This song and lyrics were written by Steve Kilbey and Karen Jannson. I have no desire to infringe on their copyright. This song is presented for enjoyment and critique only. Buy their recordings and support Australian artists.

Under The Milky Way

My cover of The Angels classic rocker. This was my first go at using digital recording software rather than an old analogue 4-track. I'll probably re-record it in the future.

No Secrets

Cover version of the Davy Steele song written about The Highland Division at St Valery in WWII. Read about what happened here:

Probably not the best song for my voice but hearing it really moved me and I wanted to give it a shot.

It’s not about me but I guess it could be.
