Lyrics:
Well her name is Katie Blue
That girl will sure put a spell on you
No matter where you go or what you do
All you’ll think about is Katie Blue

When she turns and looks at you
Your heart’s gonna melt in two
And you’ll feel this way too
All you’ll think about is Katie Blue

Long ago
Not so Long ago
You thought you always
Be alone

Well her name is Katie Blue
That girl will sure put a spell on you
You’ll see that it’s true
All you’ll think about is Katie Blue

Yeah you’ll feel this way too
All you’ll think about is Katie Blue


Katie Blue

I'm feeling there is just too much hate in the world right now....I'd rather hug a Koala... 

Words

It's been a hard day working not seeing eye to eye with my friends today
We're all going to the same place but we argue about which road we gotta take
You take your road and I'll take mine
And I'll meet you again at the end of the line
No-one's gonna win if we keep going on like this
It's time we settled down and just think of the kids

Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind

You don't want to lose your hope or lose your head or lose your mind
Hang onto your love don't leave it all behind
Let's all play nice it's time to loosen up
Come on everybody let's not have a war

Hey hey hey
Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind
Well come on
Hey hey hey
Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind

Bridge and Break

I'm sick and tired of strife and sick and tired of seeing everything failing
Right before my eyes
Arguments disagreements it's really sad
Come on everybody let's not have a war

Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind
Hey hey hey
Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Hey hey hey
Let's leave the showdown
Come on let's go down
Get the heat down
Let's all calm down
Get some drink down
Start to party down
Get relaxed and
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

Leave The Showdown

Good Times for a Change

You Trigger Me

Once again, I realised the monthly @themusicollective playlist was almost upon me, so tried to quickly cobble together a song. The bulk of this (including verse 3, 4 and the chorus) originates from a songwriting challenge (of writing a verse or chorus a day for a month) I did during the lockdown, and I just added verse 1 and 2 this morning. Somehow turned into a song somehow dealing with anxiety and somewhat influenced by the current heatwave. Oh, and musically I stole the riff I figured out for Jolene!

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Monday morning pries your eyelids open with a cheeky grin
And without warning anxiety tries to start its quest of creeping in
You feel the scorching sun summon the heat 
The battle of torture and fun begins to tickle your feet

Verse 2
You try your best to fight the urge to give in to that smouldering weight
That lies upon your chest just waiting to be stirred before it
Grabs your head and heart and suddenly you’re afraid cos the
Biggest part of you can tell it’s too late

Chorus
You wanna
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness that’s rampaging through your head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To you and feel reality’s hold on you fall away

Verse 2
You throw a pinch of truth into a soup full of lies,
To hide the bittersweet flavour of your crooked alibis,
You hope that one more scoop will satisfy your hunger
But in the end it keeps your cravings alive for longer

Chorus
I wanna
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness that’s rampaging through my head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To me and feel reality’s hold on me fall away

Verse 3
You need a brandnew frame of mind without the cracks and the rust 
You’re kind of scared what you might find by wiping away the grime and the dust.
Try to assemble the pieces you have lost in a dream
And create something new you’ve never seen.

Chorus
You gotta
Get out of the day and face the bed
Pull the plug on the madness rampaging through your head
Just forget about the nice things noone’s ever said 
To you and feel reality’s hold on you fall away

Premonitions

Faster Than Fire

The Light We Share” is a soul-awakening Christmas anthem about the divine spark that lives in every heart. It reimagines the holiday not as a season of gifts, but as a sacred moment of remembering who we truly are. With euphoric warmth and cinematic lift, the song celebrates love, unity, and the miracle of rising together. Santa becomes the messenger, Jesus the teacher, and every human the carrier of light. This is Christmas reborn — PG-safe, spiritually electric, and emotionally unforgettable.
