Forward

The most painful part of a relationship breaking down is contemplating the consequence of walking away. It’s not always just the two parties affected, there is so much more at stake. The investment two people make into a relationship is beyond them individually, especially when there are children involved. Another Day is about my struggle to choose myself over what I thought would be best for our family.

Another Day

They say that life is a long road full of crossroads and detours, and if you're from Canberra, heaps of roundabouts. Sometimes you're lucky enough to find someone to navigate with. Sometimes you can be unfortunate, and that person could send you wayward. This is Along The Way.

Along the Way

Lessons in Love

“But what about your career?” was the first comment from a fan upon hearing the news of my pregnancy. Yes, my career was on an upward trajectory when I learned I was going to be a mother, but it was uncomfortable having someone question my decision to become a parent at that stage of my life. From then, I made a point to be intentional with the songs I wrote, the songs I played and the shows I did. And not only did I have a point to prove to an industry that has given mothers a harder time existing in it, I had a point to prove to my daughter and to justify the time I inevitably had to spend away from her.

Purpose

Intimacy is an important part of connection. It’s the bridge between emotion and the physical. Everything else in the relationship comes second to honest connection. Intimacy is also a core pillar of communication, and when one’s needs are met it creates a safe space for exploration, confrontation and growth.

Bedroom Eyes

Ocean Floor Part 2 is when you’re finally brave enough to dive in and know you’re safe to do so. There’s a certain confidence in loving when you are loved in return. You can love harder, louder and longer.

Ocean Floor PT.2

Chance is the last desperate plea to save what once was, a plea to drown out outside influences. After all, the advice and opinions we get when we confide in our confidants about our relationships never take into consideration the other party’s perspective because what happens between two people is between them and no one else.

Chance

Given Time speaks on the ‘what if I didn’t leave’ stage of grieving the end of a relationship. These lyrics were written by my dear friend Shannen Wick, and they touched me in a way I feel everyone can relate to. There is always the question of ‘did i make the right decision’ when you walk away from a relationship you’ve invested so much of your life into. What would be different if I stayed? What if things could be different?

Given Time

This song is the realization you’re alone in the relationship. They don’t want what you want, they can’t fathom what you need. You’ve tried to let them know but it feels like you’re the only one trying to save this ship from going under. This is the anthem for anyone that has ever struggled with feeling they’re not enough for the person they love.
