My songs cover a range of themes. These include everyday themes like buying a house, sailing on the weekend, childhood memories, love as well as more intense themes including the treatment of people with a mental illness, feelings evoked from visiting war memorials, historical themes.
I view lyrics as being of central importance and am quite proud of the strength of many of my lyrics.

"As I listen to the CD, three words that immediately spring to my mind: unpretentious, uncomplicated and honest. A fusion of country and folk, these are songs that come straight from the heart, and are genuinely Australian in outlook and feel; as Australian as “The Streets of Forbes”. My impression is that they come from a kind-hearted battler who has experienced a fair swag of life, but who has found an inner contentment that allows him to look upon the world around with a keen observer’s eye." Mike Raine 2009.
