This song started life a very long time ago as nothing more than an instrumental sketch. Even without words, it carried a desperate edge, the kind of tension that sat unresolved in the chords. For years, it sat unfinished — until I revisited it with a different vision. I decided to push it harder. I…

This song started as a normal morning with bad weather and too much thinking. It walks through a single day after a breakup: 5am, 9am, 5pm, 10pm. You make coffee, you check a photo you should probably hide, you do the dishes, you tell yourself you are fine, then you miss them a little. Nothing…

Because Of You is a gratitude note to a relationship that did not last and still mattered. I wrote it with the belief that the things you love about someone at the start are real, and they do not disappear just because the story changes. The song sits in that space where you can miss…

I recorded this on a quiet afternoon with nothing in mind except passing time. I sat down, pressed record, and added one part after another—no chart, no click, no plan. It was just something to do on a slow Saturday, and that looseness is baked into the track. It’s as rough as they come. Levels…

I wrote this one on a lonely night when Cassidy was just a very young girl. I was thinking about how every kid gets asked the same question: what do you want to be. The verses turn that question into a game, running through jobs from pilot to beekeeper, dancer to mechanic, architect to activist.…

This is the version we recorded before bringing in AI production and AI vocals. The song sits in that no-win space where you are too tired to stay and too tangled to leave. The chorus keeps asking the same question because real life often does. What happened to us, and what am I supposed to…

Every road we walk is paved with decisions. Choices Made tells that story in plain language and clear images. It moves from the first sting of regret to the quieter work of owning what happened and learning to stand back up. The verses look straight at the fallout. Distance, pride, and fear widen the gap.…

We spend years trying to be happy without agreeing on what happy means. To Be Happy follows small scenes from a swing set to bright lights to late trains, and shows how the goal keeps moving as life gets louder. The chorus calls it out. People will tell you how to be happy. They repeat tidy stories…

Every songwriter has a few songs they never expected to survive the test of time. Sister is one of mine. I wrote it years ago as a birthday gift for my sister. It wasn’t crafted to be polished or profound, but to capture the joy, laughter, and memories that surround her life. In many ways,…

Some songs arrive like whispers, others like storms. Broken Glass came somewhere in between. It is a story about moving through days that feel uncertain, about stepping into situations without thinking, about carrying burdens too heavy to name. The imagery is sharp and fractured. A stranger offering a ride. A restless escape that ends at a river.…

Back in the early 90s, when VHS tapes lined the shelves of every small-town video store, I found myself in Toowoomba. Just down the road from where I lived was a place called Plains Video. For most people, it was just a spot to rent movies, but for me, it became something much more. There was…

Some songs come from chasing ideas, and others appear because they cannot be held back. Your Smile belongs to the second kind. I wrote it over 14 years ago, soon after my daughter was born. At that point, I had been through a damaging relationship and had convinced myself that I would never be a parent again.…

Bungled and Botched is a cynical reflection on how power quietly shapes the lives we lead. It speaks about the way corporations, governments, and even peers decide what we value, how we measure success, and what we consider freedom. The song looks at a world where people blindly follow, convinced they are free, but never…

For as long as I can remember, I have been at war with my own mind. Growing up, I did not know the word anxiety. I just knew something was wrong. For the first 25 years of my life I thought I was crazy, that the things I felt and the ways I reacted were…

There are moments in life when the pressure becomes unbearable. When the weight on your chest makes it hard to breathe, when every step feels like dragging yourself through mud, and when you smile on the outside but inside you are crumbling. Help is born from that place. This song is about hiding pain behind a mask,…

Some songs are meant to comfort, while others are meant to challenge. “Anything At All” walks the line between both. It is a song built on contrast, where the verses and chorus almost argue with one another. The verses give space for hope. They acknowledge mistakes, the price already paid, and the distractions that blind…

In life, it is so easy to get caught up in the rush of everything else: work, stress, plans, distractions. Sometimes we forget the most important truth: love is a gift. Not the grand gestures, not the rare celebrations, but the quiet, everyday presence of someone who chooses to be there with you. “Thanks To…

Some songs sit in the “maybe pile” for years before they finally ask to be heard again. “Tell Me Something” is one of those songs, an older piece I nearly left behind but could not quite let go of. When I dusted it off and gave it a fresh coat of paint, I found that its core…

Breakups always come with a chorus of voices trying to make you feel better. Friends, family, even strangers will say the same things: “time heals,” “you’ll be okay,” “you’ll move on,” or “they don’t know what they lost.” But when your world has been turned upside down, those words do not land. They feel like…

Some songs stay with you forever, not because they are perfect, but because they capture a moment in time so clearly that rewriting them feels almost impossible. I Knew You From School is one of those songs. This song is about one of the most amazing and short-lived romances of my life. I was in Year 12,…

There are moments when music has to say what words alone cannot. Nothing Left to Steal is one of those moments. Written as a protest against corporate greed and the relentless grind of modern life, the song confronts the reality of how much we give away for so little in return. We swap our precious…

There are times when it feels like the world is full of voices telling us what to think, how to feel, and what to follow. “Lie With the Saints” was written as a response to that culture of influence. The song asks why so many people put their trust in figures who do not deserve…

There are songs that you polish, rewrite, and refine until they shine. Then there are songs like Come Back Someday. Written many years ago, this one has stayed almost exactly as it was the day it came out. It is not perfect, and it was never meant to be. It is raw, unfiltered emotion captured in…

Sometimes, all it takes to keep going is knowing someone has your back. I’m OK was written for that person, the one who is always there no matter how hard the day or how loud the noise of the world becomes. The song opens with the reassurance that even when life is messy, you can…

I’ve been incredibly lucky in life, blessed with more than my share of truly special people. I’m grateful for the friends who’ve stood beside me through every chapter, and for the kind of loyalty and connection that time can’t fade. Rising Water is my way of honouring those friendships that last forever, no matter the…

“Last Drive” is the second part of the story that began with Last Dream of You. Where the first song was a quiet, almost dreamlike reflection on a love slipping away, Last Drive puts us firmly in the present — behind the wheel, in motion, with time running out. It’s a journey through the hours…

There are days when the mind feels like a crowded room—voices arguing over a life that won’t sit still. “Fist Full Of Nothing” starts there: empty-handed but overburdened, caught between who you are and who you’re told to be. The verses walk that edge: the pressure to wear the “ways of today,” to keep the…

“Different Worlds” was written on my first trip to the Philippines. It was the moment that opened my eyes to a reality I’d never truly seen before. Walking through the streets, I encountered people in desperate need—people begging for help, struggling to survive, living lives so far removed from my own. What struck me most…

“Move Forward” is a song about the simple yet powerful act of continuing, no matter the circumstances. It’s about facing each day, despite the inevitable ups and downs, and reminding yourself that nothing lasts forever—not the struggles, not the pain, and not the moments of quiet contentment. We all have days that feel repetitive, where…

“Edge” is a song about the disorienting feeling of going through life, from the highs to the lows, and never really understanding any of it. It’s the journey of feeling lost in a world that’s constantly shifting around you, where answers seem out of reach and everything just feels… confusing. We all try to make…

There are times when it feels like no matter where we go or who we’re with, we never quite fit in. Maybe it’s something that everyone feels, at least at some point. It’s that sense of being an outsider, never finding that place where we truly feel like we belong. I wrote this song as…

Sometimes, in the middle of life’s darker moments, it’s the simplest things that remind us of the beauty in the world. When I had the word “springtime” written down in my notes, it sparked an idea for something lighter, something different. I wanted to create a song that celebrated nature’s ability to renew itself, a…

“Last Dream of You” — a song that will forever hold a special place in my heart.This song came about one night as I drove alone, with nothing but the hum of the road and the flicker of headlights cutting through the dark. It made me reflect on the weight of losing someone and the…

This song is about feeling invisible. It’s about standing in front of people—maybe even someone you care about—and realizing they just don’t see you. That ache of being overlooked, dismissed, or misunderstood runs deep. But what this song also says is: you’re not alone in that feeling. We all face moments where we question our…

This song is a quiet storm of unresolved emotion — a meditation on love lost without clarity or closure. It speaks from the hollow centre of heartbreak, where questions remain unanswered, and acceptance feels just out of reach. The lyrics unravel the confusion and helplessness that follow the end of a relationship that didn’t end in a…

This song is about feeling ancient — not in age, but in spirit. It’s about the crushing, invisible weight that builds over time when you’ve spent too long just trying to keep going. When even breathing feels like a battle, and no matter how many days pass, the heaviness never really lifts.We wrote this for…

“Hey Now” is a haunting, introspective ballad about the quiet aftermath of love lost and the long road toward acceptance. Each verse begins like a conversation left unfinished—echoes of a relationship marked by distance, silence, and all the things that were felt but never said. The song follows the journey of someone who waited, watched, and…

“Looking Up” is a defiant anthem for anyone who’s been kicked down by life but keeps standing back up—scraped, bruised, and stronger than before. It’s not about having answers or seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s about choosing to keep moving even when the path is broken, the world is cold, and…

“I Can’t Change” is a song about heartbreak, escape, and the strange freedom that comes with letting go of everything—except the pain. Written in the aftermath of a breakup, the song captures that raw, in-between space where you’re not ready to move on, but you can’t stay where you were either. So you drive. The…

Lost Highway is about that feeling we don’t always talk about—the slow, quiet unraveling that comes when you’re moving through life without a clear direction, just trying to make sense of it all. It’s not dramatic or explosive. It’s more like a dull ache, the kind that wears you down over time. The song explores what…

This song is a reflection on a relationship that meant a lot to me—one that caught me off guard and left its mark. It’s not a love song in the usual sense. It’s more of a quiet admission: I didn’t always have the answers, didn’t always know what I was doing, but I showed up…

This song tells the story of a very special relationship — one that changed everything for me. Before it began, I had been single for a long time. I didn’t even realise I was lonely until I wasn’t anymore. Suddenly, life was full of connection, laughter, late-night talks, and the kind of closeness that catches…

This  is a song about the exhaustion of going through the motions — of living a life that feels like a loop with no off-ramp. It explores the anxiety that keeps us trapped, the confusion of not knowing our purpose, and the quiet desperation of pretending everything’s fine just to make it through the day.…

This is a song about the quiet kind of struggle — the kind that hides behind a smile. It’s about the weight of just getting by, of moving through days that blur into one another, of pretending to be okay because it’s easier than explaining the truth. It’s a reflection of the confusion that often comes…

This is a song we never wanted to write — but needed to. It’s about losing Mum. She was our rock. The strongest, kindest person in the room. The kind who lifted others even when she was carrying more than anyone knew. Her laughter filled the house, her strength held it together, and when she…

This song came out of frustration, plain and simple. Frustration with a world that often rewards style over substance, noise over meaning, performance over truth. We wrote The Emperor’s New Clothes as a response to the growing culture of empty influence, where people build entire identities out of borrowed imagery, fake virtue, and curated perfection, all while…

This is a song about losing someone you care deeply for, and how, when the weight of that loss hits, it’s often easier to retreat into the past than face what comes next. It’s not about healing. Not yet. It’s about that in-between space where the world keeps turning, but you don’t. Where memories become…

We wrote this song for a friend who was trapped in a difficult relationship—one they deeply wanted to leave, but couldn’t. Their reasons were tangled: maybe it was the comfort of routine, the fear of being alone, the weight of financial strain, or the uncertainty of starting over. Whatever the cause, they stayed—stuck somewhere between longing for…
