| Wanna Go Home |
|
| Musically this song
began as two separate songs, the verse section was a slow - medium 8th note
feel. The chorus section was a ballad. After I had spent some time
talking to a friend about his time in the war in Vietnam I decided
to write how I think I would feel if I was there. So musically I
combined the two pieces together with a diminished chord and turned
it into a shuffle. |

| You Know Me |
|
| Ahh ... we've all known
couples who once together then break up then get back together then break
up then get back together etc. |
|
|
| Lucy and Jemima |
|
| This song is for those
young girls trying to grow up too fast. The two mentioned in the song
have still not met. |
|
|
| Same Old Dream |
|
| I wrote the music on
the guitar first with a capo on the 5th fret with drop D. The lyrics are
based on addiction. It's about how we all go around in circles and how
we all need a little help sometimes. |

| Sailor and Rider |
|
| This song was written
with my father's generation in mind. In that sometimes the direction you
are conditioned to go towards doesn't always end up in the place you
really want to be. |

|
| The Old Paint is Peeling |
 |
| A musical tribute to my
favourite band "Little Feet". The lyrics are about divorce
where the relationship is a house and the place is falling apart. |

|
| Sing Me My Song |
|
| Fairly self
explanatory. I was stuck in a traffic jam in the middle of summer trying
to find some music on the radio that I liked. |
|
|
| Let's Have a Fat Time |
|
| A summertime party
song. All acoustic instruments based on traditional Cuban rhythm and melody. |
|
|
| It's No Secret |
|
| Basically a love song
with a nice key change in the chorus. |
|
|
| Sleepytown |
|
| In my years of touring
all around Australia I have driven through so many of these little towns.
I love playing all the chord changes in this song. |

| Sister Music |
|
| All about my love for what I do for a living.

|
| That's A Time |
|
| Unfortunately a close
friend of mine passed away a while back. I remember him well. |
|
|
| Guardian Angels |
|
| This one was written
after I broke down in the middle of nowhere when my car was full of drums,
percussion and guitars. I wondered why I was in the music business until
all these people came to my rescue. |
