Close My Eyes
Another big departure for me. I wanted to write a song about people in coercive and toxic relationships (cheery stuff eh?). Each verse is written from a different point of view and none of them are me. I also wanted to play around with the vocal arrangement. In some parts the backing vocals are more of an instrumental pad.more

Broken Bay
The first song I wrote on ukulele - so it's got three simple chords and plenty of repetition. Broken Bay Sport & Recreation Centre is a magical place just north of Sydney. It was established as the first National Fitness Centre in NSW in the 1940s and over the years countless thousands of children have been to Broken Bay for school camp. As a teacher I went to Broken Bay about fifteen times with many different schools and a very diverse range of kids. I never had a group that didn't love the experience.more

Like You Do
'Like You Do' is a song that's about having someone in your life that fully supports you and about a person you can be your true self around. It's about having someone who believes in you, more than others do, even more than you do yourself. With a relationship like that, you can achieve everything. It's a song about hope, love and trust.more
