about

I live in a village called Majors Creek, on Yuin country, with my wife Rose and our baby daughter Sunny. We've got the bush all around us. It's wild and beautiful, and inspires me everyday.

Not having many neighbours, I usually pee in the garden, and this has led to spending a lot of time looking at the moon.

This song arrived on dark moon, which is the night before the new moon. You really can't see it in the sky at all, so the stars are at their brightest.

I've included the chords and lyrics, if you feel like playing or singing along.
