The lyrics for “Strawberry” are here. I have a bright, red birthmark on my left eye. The curious and irritating questions when I was a kid, as well as cultural notions from some of my family members, gave me quite a negative attitude towards it, to the point where I was seeking to have it […]
The lyrics for “Parents and Children” are here. There is a time in all of our lives when we realise that our parents are not perfect. Sometimes we can even be pitted into a role reversal situation where the child has to act like a parent to their own parents. I do volunteer work with […]
The lyrics of “Yin” are here. “The world of humanity has two wings — one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly.” – ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the Bahá’í Writings This song portrays how it feels sometimes to be a woman in a man’s world, and how I hope […]
The lyrics for “Disappointed” are here. When someone who calls himself your enemy inflicts pain upon you, it hurts for a little while but then you can move on. But when someone who is dear to you inflicts pain upon you, it hurts deeper and can last a lifetime. This song is about a time […]

The lyrics for “Back to The Ground” are here. I wrote this song while in London, in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer James Bryan and song writer Nick Whitecross, who was a member of British 80’s dance/ synth band Kissing the Pink. We initially intended to write a house track, but in the end we felt […]
The lyrics for “Boy” are here. I wrote this song while on tour in the north of WA. I was thinking a lot of my younger brother back home (then aged 14), and all the hopes I have for him as he grows up. The band was also listening to a lot of Michael Jackson […]
The lyrics for “Sleeper on The Night Train” are here. I first penned some of these lyrics years ago, but discarded them as I couldn’t come up with any sound musical ideas. Much later, I came up with a guitar riff and bass groove that formed the basis of this song, and re-worked these lyrics […]
In Time Saw the evening sky was crying a star fell to the sea and I saw the splendour dying: a single teardrop shed for You and me And though I can’t see You, it’s alright ’cause I know I’ll feel You in time Felt the fire burn my will down till my heart beat […]
