Rabbit Hole
"This song centres around loss of a child; spiralling aimlessly day after day as each day leaves behind little reminders of the life that once was, or would could have been. It's title is inspired by the John Cameron Mitchell film of the same name (based on the David Lindsay-Abaire Pulitzer Prize Play). I wrote the song thinking about a miscarriage of a child and Parent fall into their own internal shells (shock), separately, and find it difficult to discuss the tragedy. The film got me thinking about what if in a parallel life the child's life existed and watched as we watched on from another... to infinity and beyond. Leaving ourselves little messages for ourselves to ignore/find... and the plummeting through the rabbit hole of the dark space depression and anxiety can take you. I cover the same subjects in many songs but try to colour the songs very differently." - dunkiemore

Luna (You Make The Word Bright)
I wrote this song a few weeks ago. My good friend Nico had a baby named Luna. She is a special little soul and loves the movie ENCANTO. I decided to write and record this song, in that Encanto vibe. Also, I am using her family's accordion on this track and their family dog can be heard at the beginning (supposed to sound like a wolf).more
