About

  • I'm a songwriter who wants others to record my songs.
I am a long time guitarist, playing in local bands in and around Adelaide, South Australia. My playing days are done, but I have the creative desire to get my material released to the world. Pop and country are my influences and story telling is my forte

Goals

Get recorded/performed

Genres

CountryIndiePopRockFolk

Dreams & ambitions

My long term goal is to gain recognition for intelligent meaningful lyrics and songs that resonate with a wide audience.

Equipment

Home studio built around the Sonic Core Scope DSP system, sequencers (Cubase Pro, Fender Studio Pro, Reason) and high end plugins (Native Instruments, Izotope, Nugen, etc).
I also use AI tools (Ace Studio, Suno, Moises, YUE2, etc) to assist with composition and demos.

Use of AI

I view AI in general as assistive tools (much like Midi and Loops).
I do have some complete AI productions where songs demand performances that are basically out of my skill range, but I prefer to use AI tools to supplement recorded and sequenced tracks and also to produce demo tracks (cover versions) to achieve polished mastered outcomes to hopefully inspire collaborators for eventual human-base recordings and releases.
I do not use AI when writing lyrics, except very occasionally for assistance in finding the odd rhyme or phasing if I get stuck.

Mood of their music

Sad and reflective

Lyrics

Was it all for Nothing

Pop

[Verse 1] Please don't send me away tonight, I'm still holding on with all my might, I thought I was where I belonged, I thought your love would keep me strong, I've tried so hard to make you proud, Giving all the love I vowed, If somehow I've let you down, Tell me now, I’ll turn around, [Chorus] Please don't take this away from me, It’s the only future I could see, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? All the times we pledged our love, All the plans and all the dreams, Was it all for nothing? All for nothing? [Verse 2] Remember when you held my hand, And vowed you'd always understand. You promised I would have a home, That I'd never have to be alone, Now you're telling me goodbye, And I can't see the reason why, Did your love just disappear, The love cherished through all these years, [Chorus] Please don't take this away from me, Its the only future I could see, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? All the fun and all the tears, All the hopes through all the years, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? [Bridge] Now you can save this broken heart, I don't want to be apart, I not searching for a perfect life, I just want you by my side, Please give me one more chance to stay, Don't let my dreams get washed away, Please don't send me away, You can have the final say, I don't want to change the game, I don't want to start again, You are the one I've always known, You're the one I called my own, So before you make me go, There's something I need you to know, [Chorus] Please don't take this away from me, It’s the heart of all that I could be, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? I am sure our love was real, Tell me there's a chance to heal, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? [Outro] Please don't take this away from me, I'm begging you, please let me stay, Was it all for nothing? Was it all for nothing? Can we find a way?
