Blue lights (and a helpful crow)

Song 1: Blue - An early attempt of playing fingerstyle. I’m probably one of the few people who doesn’t think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I hear Angie Hart’s ‘Blue’. (I’ve never actually seen Buffy; TV series or movie.) I’m reminded of the early days of being in love, living in Melbourne with my new husband, listening to it together on CD. It was beguiling; it was unlike any song I’d ever heard before.

Song 2: Lights - I recorded this in the back yard of my home in the Adelaide CBD (which is surprisingly noisy with birdlife). Since moving to Adelaide, I’ve felt a sense of home I haven’t experienced since leaving my childhood hometown of Stawell, Victoria. Even though this is not an Australian song, it’s always had for me a very Adelaide feel to it, and now that I live here, it expresses perfectly the yearning I feel for the place when I travel away from it.
