Owls I 02:10
2.
Wandered here from the woods, I have seen On this dark and peaceful night, A man in love He sings songs to the rain And the poet inside is just the same I know this is not the way, But I watch him as he roams His human wilderness And though I'm but a blur, I can see he'll do anything For words, for love, for her... Wandered here from the woods, I have seen On this dark and peaceful night, A man in love Wandered here from the woods, I have seen On this dark and peaceful night, A man in love I was lost in the white blaze of my soul
3.
It pains me so to be away, But grey days bring cold comfort The ocean with her animals and storms cannot be crossed But with a sure stride For now I write a love letter To you and to the future For all that she will bring to us, and all she'll take away Oh, we are laughing And then when you're asleep, I can feel you in my heartstrings, In the soft light of your eyes It pains me so to be away, But rainclouds are my raincoat The ocean with her animals and storms I'll fly across, But with a sure stride How strange to exist, when you do not The time before creation Of your body and soul Gathers the dust and the leaves, Like an old man...
4.
Glide across the sea with me, We will go away Glide across the sky with me, We will find a way Even though you're a world away, I can feel you in the air Flying through the purple clouds, What is it now that can bring us down? Far away then a fire is burning, And I can see your face And if only my eyes could see farther, Then I could see that the clouds are nearby

Une chanson dans un soleil d'hiver, Comme dans un rêve, il danse avec le vent Après la pluie, Il ne cesse de me surprendre Te quiero mucho, hermanito Une chanson dans une guitare en or, Comme dans un rêve, ses cordes se détachent Avant la nuit, Elles atteignent le rivage Te quiero mucho, hermanito Si, te quiero mucho, hermanito

Dusty Leaves 02:09
Tucked away behind the trees, Hiding away, Forgotten The dusty leaves of old are gone Over the days and over the years, They awaited together The release of the dust To feel the wind once again Dusty leaves In the backyard of our lives Tucked away behind the trees, Hiding away, Forgotten The dusty leaves of old are gone Who knows where they will go, Carried on the endless flow Of the river of wind and light?

Owls III 02:51
And in the morning, I fly home to the tree The night is over There is too much to see And in the evening, I fly over the hills To be where you are, Watch you from afar

about

My third album, 'Heartstrings', is intended to make the mind travel, as the tracks have differing recording locations (as with my previous album).
Upon returning to Australia after living in French Guiana, I moved back to Waurn Ponds, this time to 22 Bodega Street, where tracks 1-3 & 11 were written and recorded.
When I moved to Santiago, Chile to live with my beautiful partner Huguette, (whom I had met the previous November) in September 2017, my passion for music and songwriting only became more intense as tracks 5-9 were written there.
The themes I wrote about in this album take a small but noticeable turn from the previous two albums - I write more about people and places that are close to my heart and body in this physical world, without dropping the musical elements of dreams, melancholy, fantasy of the 'realms' or my imagination, which are huge and constant influence on my music.
My feelings of love, hope and melancholy are present as always.
I am also fond of this album's cover art as I took the photo in Bunyip State Park one night in 2017 before I moved to Chile, from my father's car (l'Hirondelle!) when we were out birding together.

Thanks for listening!
