An Ashen Hue
open the coldest ocean this creek has ever filled
with old weeds so diseasing and far too damaged for you
old man broken down now it's easy to see
the raven at its coldest the oldest son to you
an ashen hue
with old weeds so diseasing and far too damaged for you
old man broken down now it's easy to see
the raven at its coldest the oldest son to you

Don't Give Up Now
I keep listening in hope you'd respond, I wrote a mental note,
when I knew you could not comprehend, all the ways I said I can not cope
Don't give up now, I was startled by what you've been through,
Don't give up now, I just started believing in you
If I loosen these knots with more words, I get scared I might sever and fade,
and right now I feel safer unheard, more secure that I won't feel betrayed
Don't give up now, I was startled by what you've been through,
Don't give up now, I just started believing in you
I can not cheat what you want me to be, I'm so distant from the person you see,
and I'm too afraid to own what you find, when you dig at my core expect me hide
Don't give up now, after all of the ways you cut through
Don't give up now, you've just started accepting the truth
Reckon I finally understand, now I can admit when it got that bad,
with at least a little more help, you know I'll find my way back
So I won't give up now, after all the pain I got through
I won't give up now, I just started receiving you
I won't give up now that the darkness is losing it's hue
I didn't know what it would take, but you're the rule I'll never break,
I always believed I was not really strong, but now I'm convinced I must be wrong,
I'm finished with doubt, I'm gonna persist, so everyday I fight and resist ,
Words are just air and air moves on, I just want to live the light before it's gone
when I knew you could not comprehend, all the ways I said I can not cope
Don't give up now, I was startled by what you've been through,
Don't give up now, I just started believing in you
If I loosen these knots with more words, I get scared I might sever and fade,
and right now I feel safer unheard, more secure that I won't feel betrayed
Don't give up now, I was startled by what you've been through,
Don't give up now, I just started believing in you
I can not cheat what you want me to be, I'm so distant from the person you see,
and I'm too afraid to own what you find, when you dig at my core expect me hide
Don't give up now, after all of the ways you cut through
Don't give up now, you've just started accepting the truth
Reckon I finally understand, now I can admit when it got that bad,
with at least a little more help, you know I'll find my way back
So I won't give up now, after all the pain I got through
I won't give up now, I just started receiving you
I won't give up now that the darkness is losing it's hue
I didn't know what it would take, but you're the rule I'll never break,
I always believed I was not really strong, but now I'm convinced I must be wrong,

Words are just air and air moves on, I just want to live the light before it's gone

Have You Ever Put Your Heart On The Line?
Below are the first lyrical offerings from a new project, tentatively titled: The Low Fire. It is a sombre acoustic song coupled with a brooding and viciously honest conversation. With six tracks now written and demo'ed and more recording scheduled for June this year, keep your eyes on this page for more news on The Low Fire.
I spilled turpentine and poisoned all the acreage. And it filled a piece of mind, to escape from all the jitteriness
I hope it's understood what I mean by this?
Perhaps you don't perceive the terms, that don't assert your worn ideas, are you drained by all the effort you go to to secretise your unease.
So you live on oblivious. You keep doing anything you want.
You aim to locate a painless remedy, something to cling on unequivocal, but it steals a real soul, you forge along impervious
You keep watch criticise and never do anything at all
You cut everyone in half and never fix a damn thing at all
Have you ever put your heart on the line for anything at all?
You made an effort long ago, got hurt, so now you'll never fall
And it builds and it builds and it builds...

The Nordeens - unrescued I miss you

Brotherly Love
I've spent the last three days bunkered down in the Homemade Records central studio helping my brother Lee Musto record his debut EP. Based in WA Lee recorded drums with recent WAMI award winning and industry legend Chris Gibbs, with the sticks being handled by College Fall life member Simon Bartlett. This weekend we covered all the bottom end angles, putting down some interesting and high quality bass lines and getting the session in readiness for guitar and vocals. Lee has been writing and playing music for many many years and was my first inspiration to ever pick up an acoustic guitar and write a song. It's such a pleasure being able to help him realise his dream and put his first release together after all these years. And the best part is the record is going to be brilliant! Keep your eyes on this page and I'll let you know when it's release time. Can't wait for y'all to hear it!
