Cave Man – Chris Smither
27 August 2018
How does wisdom come to us? How do we become, wise?
We are so many versions of ourselves in a lifetime. Can we see each version and honour it, thank it and move on? Knowing that each version brought us to here and now, knowing that we did the best we could at the time, and if we didn’t we learnt from it…

Thank you to No Trombones for submitting this weeks track, Walk the Walk. The smooth sound is supported by a great horn section, and the powerful voice of Lil Rounds. Inspired by those that make promises they don’t keep…..hmmm I think we have all known someone like that.
The Proposition #1 – Nick Cave and Warren Ellis
19 June 2018
I drive towards him, he is far away, but not too far.

Follow The Sun – Xavier Rudd
30 April 2018
I feel in between. I try to articulate my in between feeling from heart to pen to paper. Enough words come, out and in the words I ask for inspiration, a way for me to express all the joy and love I hold in my heart. I can feel it more and more, looking for a way out.
Sister Sister – Hat Fitz & Cara Robinson
23 April 2018
Sometimes the truth catches you by surprise, thats what happened to me when I heard this song.
Sisters, grown together, destined for different paths, move away from each other, over distances, over time.
