God-Shaped Hole 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Got no time for silly words I need that sweet venom right through myself Need it so much that it hurts I know without it I'm losing my mind My dependence surreal This addiction is sweet to the taste Without it how could I feel? No - my body can't function alone Plug it into my arm! I don't need food or air to breathe The void into my veins I am in love... The hole I was given inside The uncontrollable passion I squeeze in its place I defend no longer - I'm making you stronger You're fixing my woe as I'm fixing on you The ecstasy that burns me inside I'm seeing such colours I've never seen before I want this addiction for life This is such perfection - its such flawed perfection "You shouldn't have touched me For now I'll never want to let you go..." Now that my senses are spoilt Every taste from now on is wretched and plain The residue of that sweet, sweet absentee You'll never reclaim that old innocence The hit is wearing away I tried to fill the hole with an absence of shape If I'm to recover there must be no other In love...

101.3 (You're All I Need) 02:44
lyrics

I'm insanely falling out of line I'd better rate each step I take along 'Cos I might end up walking out of light How terrible for the dark to be my home You're all I need Confession time: I don't get it right All alone I am a degrader of my mind I struggle much, my wrong replaces right To say I do burns bits of me inside Your all I need I've told lies, not once, but more than twice Ingested filth will not stop at your eyes

Salute (Ode To...) 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Time Now that you’re not around I’ll sit and wait for a sound For you to appear – I know that you’re near Mind I know just where you’re s’posed to be I pray you are looking on me When all’s said and done – what we’ve become Hand I’ve never seen so much of my life With all that was here you would laugh They lifted us high – you shone in each eye Go on Now that the smoke has all cleared We’ll sift the debris for years Keep you in the mind – we’ll still find our stride Hold me I’m not afraid to die I know where I’ll be When you come around Lonely It show’s how much we care As long as you look down We won’t run away

A Very Good Year 03:12
lyrics

Burnt into me those coloured scenes I remember these things They stay in my mind like glue Those eyes of yours glistening I could not doubt a thing I was stuck on the idea of you It doesn't take long For a spark to flame into... Could I really be A crucial part of you and me? The more I'm drawn into This whole big mess with you You more become a part of me I more become a part of something you I remember it all so clear The customary fear Gave way long enough I believe the time was right Once we shed our sight No other light could get through It never takes long For a spark to flame into... Could I truely be...?

Arise! Shine! 04:31
lyrics

Arise! Shine! Words full of warning! I feel so wasted inside My eyes are closed Though I wake in the morning My heavy disease pulls my soul from the sky This is my life To do as I like The sun frowns on this one truth The body is fine But the mind, it is yawning Oh, to feel healthy inside To earn this life Is our basic calling I’m failing at that and losing its prize This is my life To do as I like The sun is eating this one whole How I have lost The idea is dawning In the business of wasting the mind No longer am I Living and walking I Play the Station and watch the Sky This is my life To do as I like The sun screams at this one ‘Grow’! How long has there been something wrong? I’ve been ‘just to busy’ for too long I’m feeling so tired living in this messiness My choice is to fail or be strong… Arise! Shine! Like the sun in Jerusalem The glory above is shinning on you! Other places Will be in the darkness But in the light you will be and He will be with you too This is my life To do as I like The Son shines on this one soul

Hold On To My Hope 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I don't understand how Your love still seeks me Why should You care for a 'Dark One' like me? What's that You said? You want me dead? Tell me do... "Hold on to My hope Lest you say goodbye To My hope and you leave The light that I provide" What could I say of Your love that freed me? How right You are when you say, "you need Me" I haven't cared Except in my head Help me through What is this fire within me? It burns away inside I feel my soul completely It always used to hide It finds a goal within me Though it pushes me to fight It might just save my life

Don't Forget (To Remember) 04:41
lyrics
buy track
The world becomes anew More now to grow into As the old me begins to die It will not go without a fight It claws at my insecurity “It seems that they wanna take my blood from my veins Test me in every way so I can prove that I can try In all my years I have never had this cover on my aims Must I stain you again? Please tell me why?” It’s all growing up No matter how hard it gets A part of you will live and a part will die… Don’t forget there’s much to learn after a fall Don’t forget to be bigger than your glow I was once safe at home but now not so Don’t forget to remember what you know Step into the unknown Make a little more my home Now the old me is losing life To save itself from ever night It preys on my insecurity “Everyday I live the routine again Stand against this would and with my fist defy What attitude? It’s just I can’t stand this place I turn my back on it as I head inside” It’s not a hate It’s just hard work instead This ‘attitude’ that lives – it now must die Don’t forget there’s much to learn after a fall Don’t forget to be bigger than your glow I was once safe at home but now not so Don’t forget to remember what you know How would I have been here if I were alone? How would I be without you I'm not alone! Never alone! Never once left

Plea 03:02
lyrics
buy track
You’re going nowhere I believe you know this is true And I am honestly worried That the end will surpass you before you can choose There is nothing wrong with dancing ‘til four in the morning Or having good times – they’re good times in the end But believe me when I say (that) I see you are falling… Please! Please!! Would I say this if I didn't care? ‘Cos the only thing you’ll find at a dead end is a dead end There are those of us who care deep about you And would so love to see you come through But it is on your door He’s knocking We can only tell you how much He wants you “Those who seek Him at the eleventh hour Will die at 10:30 instead” Take my advice and take my advice… Please! Please!! Would I say this if I just didn't care?

I've known you as long as the love of my life And now little sister to me! Oh, I just thought you should know... Mark this day on your calendar Mark this day in your life I hope this will be the most beautiful day of your life I am the one who gets good on this deal You are so beautiful in every way! Oh, I just thought you should know...

about

After a short time in England in late 2003, I returned to NZ to find that all of my previous music opportunities had dried up, so I looked to create some new ones. That primarily involved me becoming a solo artist for the first time, which I started by playing the Acoustic Lounge in Wellington. This was a scary prospect as I had never performed without a band before and became a huge growth process for me.

The results were a confidence in myself as a solo performer and an interest in recording my solo material. Over two-and-a-half years, I spent time at Knox recording individual songs until I had enough of them to gather together an album. Although most of these songs were written to be full band songs, they adapted well to the acoustic. This then is a snapshot of me in the formative years of my solo-ness. Enjoy!
