"Silk Dress" - Backstory and Lyrics - Released 24 February 2022 Then this is your new home and this is your anthem I never really found a place where I belong I never really found a place where Everything felt right everything was calm and Maybe they were right coz I was such a dweeb I never was athletic, was far from academic Growing up, school it really sucked it was such a dragĮvery day, it always felt the same, nothing ever changed I found myself a secret hiding place where the wild things areĪnd although this may, it may feel very strange I still call it homeįree from everybody else (and their opinions) So for all you “outcasts” out there this this song is for you! "Neverland" is dedicated to all those marginalised creative & non creative cool people out there who get a hard time most days. not a great place at times with some people not being particularly nice to others. Hence the line in the song "Planet Earth is not my friend". The song is for all those marginalised people out there, that don't quite fit in and get hassled in their day to day lives. “Neverland” is a place in my mind which is an oasis and retreat from the daily challenges of life, particularly the current world turmoil and instability. I took some inspiration from the classic book, "Where The Wild Things Are", in the sense of having a place to go if the world seems too much at times. It has massive pop-punk vibes flowing through, which was music that inspired me as a young kid. “Neverland” is a lot more upbeat than my previous releases and a transition in my sound that included "Silk Dress".

Guess it is a topic that most people can relate to, so here it is “Hollow”. Thinking back on those feelings and the situation, I decided to write a song about it and how I felt at the time. Was feeling stunned and rocked at the time. I was completely shocked and blindsided even though it was an amicable parting of ways. “Hollow” was inspired from a relationship breakup, where my partner at the time decided to end it.

It was heartbreaking & an emotional period.Įleven months on, these same people are still dealing with the recovery, without direction and resolution from insurance companies and all levels of government/s. Stories of losing their possessions & damaged homes. At night after a long day cleaning up, families would meet up at the hotel to have a meal, drink and share their stories and experiences. For 7 days, there was limited power, no internet, no access to banks & limited food supplies. “Washed Away” was inspired by personal stories of the 2022 catastrophic floods in Murwillumbah and throughout Australia.ĭuring the cleanup phase, I was working in a local bottle shop one of the few places open.
