I wrote a whole album about my Dad back in February. This song's about the people who look after him while I am far away. Still writing a #songaday about things I'm grateful for.

The leaves are so beautiful here in Canada in the fall. I'm blessed to be in this beautiful country. We must do all we can to protect our planet. Still writing a song a day about gratitude

Songtober Day 2 I'm grateful for a body that works, every day.

First song of Songtober 2023 I'm writing songs about things I'm grateful for this month.

This was incredibly fun to write record and sing! Far from my best work - it's not a personal story - but recording it was a good time.

Another song about struggling to fit in when you've always been told what to do.

This song is a bit of a mess, I only had a pre-chorus in mind when I started writing it. But I kept working at it and this is what came out in the end. It's kind of weird but I like it!

A song about a friend who sadly left our music community last month. It's made using a drone from my new Ovum synth and playing some chords over it. I hope it's reflective and sad.

Song for April's REM

A song about The Flaming Lips in the style of The Flaming Lips. For Record Every Month March 2023

Life isn't fair. Why me? Why him? Why anything.

A true story. Predictably, the photo forms the album art for this record. I've never felt incredibly close to my Dad, but it's not like he didn't try.

I thought I might write more about my mother as part of this album. I would like to write about her more. This one is about her relationship with my Dad as his illness progressed.

For a few reasons, I don't want to have kids...

My life is so different to my Dad's. It must be so frustrating to be so trapped.
