I Wish We Could Turn Back Time

Recently, Scott Morrison (Australian Prime Minister) eliminated the Department of Communication and Arts. It's just another arts program that's been defunded/reorganized/removed/canceled. This time, on a nation-wide basis. 
This song is my response. I filmed it sitting on the steps of Parliament in Melbourne. It's all a cappella. Part of a weekly series where I write/record/film/release a new song.

The old crowd that I’m talking to

Always Running

All About You

Fire Away

I find myself floating off to another planet from time to time. Thanks for helping me stay on the ground when I come flying by.

Satellite

Racism is alive and ugly in my country (and the rest of the world). This song (#30 in a song-a-week series) is written to white people, particularly in America. I agree with Kaepernick. I sympathize with the black community. I oppose police brutality writ large. But we must do more. "What can I say, what can be done?" is not a rhetorical line in the chorus. It is truly about speaking up and taking action.   #blacklivesmatter

America

A continuation of the previous week's theme (my song America) wherein our children learn from what they see. What we do in this world leaves pieces behind, and others collect them. Along the way, we begin to see the world from the light those things cast. Like a bonfire of life souvenirs. Be conscious of what you say and do in this world.

Bonfire

Watched an interview with Oak Felder and got mired into sounding like him. F that. He's incredible, and so am I! This track is a moving picture of what your heart looks like if it were a small house. The winds blow. The rains come. And you must welcome those you want, inside.

Is This Love

The 33rd song in the song-a-week project. Something pertinent as we're all yelling at each other online. 
Everything in it is made with my voice (and beatboxing). I do this every week with a video.

Listen

An Irish drinking song for my grandmother, who passed away a few days back. I hated writing something sad, so I didn't. It ought to only be sung with a drink in hand.

LYRICS
I remember the 4th of July
when we’d add a hundred stars
to the midsummer sky.
The words we were singing would
fade into the night,
but things have never
felt the same.
I’m finding it hard to
put away the pride
and all the simple things
to which it’s tangled up and tied.
I told myself it mattered,
but I think I must have lied.
It’s funny how we
play our little games.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Pull away traditions and
start with what remains.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Can you hear it howling outside?
It takes a mighty storm
to let the past finally die.
Sitting at the station while
the world is passing-by,
swearing by my predecessors’ ways.
Oh! I think it might be time
to make a change.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Can we pull away traditions
and start with what remains?
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Oh, something isn’t right,
now the people are a-talking.
Breonna was a-sleeping.
Elijah was a-walking.
Something isn’t right,
now our people are a-dying.
Never more divided,
the people are a crying:
I think it might be time
to make a change.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Can we pull away traditions
and start with what remains?
I think it might be time
to make a change.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
I think it might be time
to make a change.
Can we pull away traditions
and start with what remains?
I think it might be time
to make a change.

4th of July

4th Of July

Somewhere between Janelle Monáe, Prince, and Beck, there's a far less talented artist (me) making a song about turning into a mess when you meet somebody. They called it twitterpated in Bambi, I called it Such A Wreck. Enjoy.

This is the 35th song in a song-a-week series I have going on. Each song is a cappella (beatbox and vocals only) and I produce it with a music video. That means I have 17 to go for a full year. Follow along for more or visit contact.richardsteighner.com for sync/licensing, all my social media, and press/booking.

Such A Wreck

A spur-jangling, horse-galloping, cowboy-whistling Western riding song. Ready-made for a Quentin Tarantino film 🤠🐴🏜🌵
Everything is a cappella (vocals + beatbox) and self produced. Part of a weekly song series where I make a new track and music video every Thursday.
More at contact.richardsteighner.com or follow on social media.

Ride On

Explosive, all-vocal, 1-word, "quasi-instrumental" anti-racist. Inspired by the words of Jacob Blake's sister, Letetra Widman. "When you say the name Jacob Blake...make sure you say 'human.'"
