September's significance...



Reasons for September's significance:

1. It's Spring! Time for new beginnings.
2. The sun is starting to warm everything up :)
3. There are new songs to be written!
4. My first loungeroom gig is happening this weekend in Gosford. Excitement!
5. It's only two months until we start recording small steps - Part Two!
6. It's less than three months until we head up to Port Macquarie for Festival of the Sun! (www.fotsun.com)
7. And a new video will be coming soooon on YouTube (www.youtube.com/lissashows). Watch out.

Enough reasons?

:)

I Heart Kirribilli




I am playing at an art exhibition in Kirribilli tomorrow night.

Exciiiiited!

All the best to those prize winners who are soon to be announced!


Feel free to pop on down and be amazed by the talent in the community of Kirribilli!   


Oh why don't you try living inside this head, this head of mine...



I wrote this big, babbling and blabbing post about identity and the creative process and my frustrations with it all today. But then the lyrics of a song I wrote came to mind and I realised that this is why I write the music that I do - to express stuff that I find difficult to say otherwise!

Lies

There are thoughts deep inside
That my mind says to no one else
If exposed they'd cause an incomprehensible mess

There are things in my mind
Of which I try to remind myself
But the doubt prevents you from thinking at all

Oh why don't you try living inside this head, this head of mine?
Oh why don't you try living inside this head, this head of mine?

There are words like "I can't" and "I'm not" that keep pulling me down
But I guess I choose to engage in battle
