Album Tracklisting

1.Life

A bouncy fast beat song echoing how we should live it,
be happy, take risks, travel, do stuff, enjoy it! Live every
day like absolutely the last day is the moral here.

2. I Drift Away

Get lost in the atmospheric music and unusual lyrics,
it's about daydreaming and drifting off into a fantasy world,
one of my earliest songs from 1983.    

 

3. I Simply Love You

Dedicated to my wife Louise, and the many happy years
we have been married. In fact its a testament to all good
long lasting relationships everywhere. A powerful moving
ballad.

4. Cinderella

My oldest song, written in 1981 on my first guitar. Not all
girls can go to the ball, in fact more end up without their
Prince Charming and fairytale ending, so this ones for them


5. Your In My Dreams

Most recently added song, lively and energetic, about how we
cope when we have to travel a lot and be away from our partners
and loved ones.

 

6. Australia

The story of my life long battle to become an Australian
resident. My parents left Australia in 1964 and I spent 38
years trying to get back. My song to show how much
I love Australia.
 

7. The 1st Forty Years

I played this at my 40th birthday in 1997 in the UK. It's a
guys song, all about the similar twists and turns we all
seem to take through life, and having a good look back
on it all at your 40th.

 

8. All In All

Not all divorces and separations
are mutual, nearly always one partner is left hurt, this song is
about them and what they have to go through to try and pick
up the pieces.

 

9. Hot Woman

A party dance song, warning you to keep away where you
shouldnt tread guys!. A bouncy beat and catchy lyrics.

10. Better Late Than Never

Title track born from the fact that I thought up the album title and
did not have a song with that name!, so it flowed and 30
minutes later the song was there. I think its an apt title
given my circumstances! 

 

11. You're Kinda Worth It

Sometimes we take each other for granted and so sometimes
its good to be appreciated. This songs about saying thank you
and recognising the efforts your partner makes in life.

 

12. Mystery Girl

Disco Pop song about a girl seen in a brief moment,
then she disappears and all about the subsequent search,
sometimes a happy ending, sometimes not. Maybe you've
had that experience with a fleeting glimpse in the street?

13. Under Nillumbik Skies

My tribute to the beautiful area I have been lucky enough to
bring up my family in on the north eastern fringes of
Melbourne Australia, Nillumbik Shire. Filled with trees and
valleys, I am blessed!

14. Hope

You may have already heard this one on the front page. Written to
give hope to all, in any situation, anywhere in the world. I really
hope it does provide some hope to those that are currently in need of it.
