An upbeat pop/rock song that almost wrote itself. The riff came first on this occasion.

Reach Out

A current song I'm working on. Had the intro idea for a while and today wrote the rest of the song and lyrics.

Same Wavelength

A song written on piano about a very topical issue at the moment. Sorry for the slightly out of tune piano, this is an early demo, wrote the song just two days ago, so still experimenting with the vocals.

Missing Flight

A new song, that's personal to me and what I've been through this year and I hope you enjoy it and relate to it too! The inspiration for the melody was from hearing a lawnmower......and then playing the note it was making.

My Mind

Here's a recording of "A Step Closer" done at Macquarie Uni. It's not perfect, but as good as I could do on the day. A song that tells a story about a friend and what he's doing.

A Step Closer

A demo for "Bent" from my upcoming EP!

Miscommunication
Unwanted remonstration
Darker illustrations
Forgotten relations

Happy, sad, crazy, mad
Found, lost, joyful, tossed

Step back and look at it
From one extreme to another

Chorus: This is bent out of proportion
There is no way back
It's dented, unrepairable
There is no way back
But I don't want to find it anyway

Camouflaging tension
Sympathetic vision
Apathetic reactions
Harder revelations

Fast, slow, savour, go
Love, hate, enjoy, spate

Step back and look it
We were like sister and brother

Chorus x2

The sun is still shining
The earth is still turning
The time is still ticking
Life goes on for us

The moon is still shimmering
The sky is still the same blue
The day is still 24 hours
Life goes on for us
(Repeat)
2nd time - Life goes on for us

Bent (Demo)

Lanks - Golden Age (Cover)

Finally, I have a new song! I have made a minor update since the original upload.

Lyrics:

It came once, then it came again       
It left once, and it will leave again
It came once, then it came again
It left once, and it will leave again
Laid in bed trying to shake it away
My best plans are diminished for today
   
It was my throat that gave it some hope
There was nothing I could do to make it stop
A steamy shower gave me a chance to cope
But this is a feeling that I will have to cop
Defenceless, it makes me feel defenceless.....

It came once, then it came again       
It left once, and it will leave again
It came once, then it came again
It left once, and it will leave again
Laid in bed trying to shake it away
My best plans are diminished for today

It rushed over me and I was feeling down
I found all my energy sapped out of me
A tea in the morning tried to wake me up
I try to hide frustration in messages to you
Defenceless, it makes me feel defenceless.....

It's not easy
It's hard to beat
I give it a try
But then I get denied

It's not easy
It's hard to beat
I give it a try
But then I get denied

It came once, then it came again
It left once, and it will leave again    
It came once, then it came again
It left once, and it will leave again    

Defenceless
It makes me feel defenceless.....

Defenceless (Demo)

Trying to write write lyrics
Waiting for the right right feeling
Looking for the best best timing
Lying in my bed bed for ages

Wanting to move move forward
Lacking the right right momentum
Needing some new new rhythm
Thinking that I’ll just just fail it

Trying to ride ride the right ship
Choosing to miss miss meetings
Living like there’s there’s nothing
Talking to no no no one 

All I feel is emptiness
I can't fill the void

Listening to old old dark tunes
Saying I’ll step step into light
Talking to friends friends around me
Praying to God God to guide me

All I feel is emptiness
I can't fill the void
But there is always another day    

I have the motivation
I have the clear direction
I’m not always consistent
It’s not been my fault

Thankful for what I get
Thankful for who you are
Reaching out to God to find my way

I’m just human, human through and through
Human

I have a brand-new plan
I feel better than I ever have
I will still fall and break
Time to recuperate

I’m just human, human through and through
Human
Now I can leave emptiness behind me
