Here's a new arrangement and recording of the beloved Christmas hymn Silent Night (remixed version of last year's release). I actually started working on this around 10 years ago, and it just didn't come together at the time. I pulled it out of the archives and revisited this year, and things really fell into place! One bonus for me personally due to the long wait to complete... It has a couple of my daughters and their friend, much younger versions, singing BGV's on it from back then.

Silent Night (Christmas 2025 Repost)

I'll never understand
and I will never understand – no,no,no,no
Why they try to take your arm
when you lend a hand
they'll try to take your arm
when you lend a hand...
(Woo hew, Woo hew)

Sometimes I'll be sitting
on the side – yeah
sometimes I'll be sitting on the side
Yeah at times I'm sitting on the side
I watch the busy people's blurry
suits and ties
I watch the blurry people
busy suits and ties
(whoa whoa, Whoa whoa)

Woo

The day is coming to an end
Sit back and I'll pick a tune
hell, I 'll even be your friend
(Woo Hew)

Stone of the pregnant woman - with Daniel Vissotto (collab.)

Slow Revolution

I was raised in this world by God-fearing folk
In a harsh and unforgiving land
I did what I had to just to survive
And yes, I'll admit I'm a sinner

I took you for my wife, to have and to hold
And we swore to each other in the House of the Lord
To be true to one another 'til parted by death
And I knew even then we were sinners

And I worked and I toiled to carve for us a life
In this stone-hard world where we live
And sure, I transgressed, but I did it for us
I never would have guessed you'd betray my trust

You allowed yourself to be stolen by another man
You twisted the knife then you ran and you ran
Though I'm broken and bleeding I'm not one to forgive
And yes, I'm truly a sinner!

I'll survive long enough just to hunt you down
And I'll take him out in front of your eyes
Then you'll realise that breaking your vows
Is the gravest of sins for a sinner.

And I'll head off to the desert with my Bible and my gun
And I'll make my peace with Jesus
I'll join all the souls who strayed from the path
And you'll be all alone with all the sinners

You'll be all alone in a world of sinners...

Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

I Saw Jesus (Brian Peters)

I saw Jesus in a man who didn’t have a home
He was left to wander alone
Nowhere to go, no place to rest
And nothing secure
Jesus, won’t you be the door
Jesus, won’t you be the door

I saw Jesus in a woman holding empty hands
Living out of empty cans
Her children starve, it’s been a while 
Since they were fed
Jesus, won’t you be the bread
Jesus, won’t you be the bread

I saw Jesus in a boy within a prison cell
What he’s done he cannot tell
Accusers lie, and so his life
Will end at youth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth
Jesus, won’t you be the truth

[I saw Jesus in a little girl of eight
In her hands she held her fate
Away from home the city’s cold
But she must stay
Jesus, won’t you be the way
Jesus, won’t you be the way]*

I saw Jesus in a baby who has not a prayer
Death and illness ever near
May last the night,
Tomorrow baby won’t survive
Jesus, won’t you be the life
Jesus, won't you be the life

[I saw Jesus in a people living under siege
Never having what they need
Their lives have been a horror
Of eternal night
Jesus, won’t you be the light
Jesus, won’t you be the light]*

*omitted verses

I Saw Jesus

Another track from my new album "Was This Written"

Join me in the comfort of this candle light
That flickers like the stars
The stars
Trust in what you’re feeling and I'll
Take away those everlasting scars
Those scars
Hold my hand a little tighter tonight
My heart has never ventured out this far
This far

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly

Let's stay above the clouds a while
Forget the world below
Below
We'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes as we
Set our site upon magic worlds unknown
Unknown

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly
I never believed I could really sing
Until I met you
You bring this bird to life
And the sky is ours tonight

So we'll let the wind force the tears from our eyes
And set our site upon magic worlds unknown
Unknown

I never knew that I had wings
Before I met you
You bring this bird to life
And you let him fly
I never believed I could really sing
Until I met you
You bring this bird to life
And the sky is ours tonight

Wings

Old tune from 2014. Wrote it while driving 6000 miles alone across the country, taking time lapse photos of the milky way and some landscapes in the day while living out of a tent. A whiskey and guitar were always in hand.


Whole Wild World

I've been beat up
I've been bruised
Wasn't born to lose
I've been on the run for way too long

I need a partner in crime
Someone to keep me in line
A beautiful muse for my next song

--Harmonica

Maybe I'll find her in the mountains
Where the water flows free
Wonder if she's even ready for me
With my guitar by my side
And a bottle of rye
What's the future supposed to be?

--Chorus
I will search around this whole wild world for you

I've spent most of my years defeated in love
I've failed too many times to speak of
It's just so hard to forget
I don't have one regret
This emptiness fits my soul like a glove

--Chorus x 2
--Harmonic again!
--Chorus x 2

Wander

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
