Friday 20th June Gig

It’s so great to see how much ANZAC Day means to everyone.As an educator, it was a privilege to help pass on those stories — some from my own family.And that is why I wrote ‘Back to You’. A song that wonders what it might have felt like to come home after war — carrying the weight of all you’ve seen, unsure of what’s waiting.So consider the lyrics. Have a listen. Maybe even share it.This one’s for them.&nbsp; For then.&nbsp; For now.<a data-mce-href="https://www.submithub.com/link/back-to-you-adambrice" href="https://www.submithub.com/link/back-to-you-adambrice">https://www.submithub.com/link/back-to-you-adambrice</a> 'Back to You' An orange streaky daybreak On a very solemn day The road’s been blocked for hours My daydreams get in the way I’ll be there by 19:30 Not sure what they want to see I hope I’ll live up to all they think I’ll beThere’s an unexpected silence As we pull into Bromley Street I see the sidewalks overgrown As I struggle to my feet I hear a sweet voice quiver Call an old forgotten name I hide my empty eyes Ignore the painSo when you see the sunrise On a chilly April day Remember what I told you&nbsp; And what they tried to take away Don’t want to be no hero I’m just a kid who can’t forget The one thing I knew I’d find my way Back To youHello cousin Charlie Gee how you’ve grown And cheeky little Sally&nbsp; A little girl of your own! I’m sorry but Uncle Jimmy&nbsp; Won’t be joining us today He’s not far away Let’s scream the songs he’d playThere were times I wish I’d let go Of everything I knew But I clung onto the pain and fear If it meant forgetting you There were times I’d think I’d see you In the shadows of the day I played their games so I’d&nbsp; Find my way to youSo when you see the sunrise On a chilly April day Remember what I told you&nbsp; And what they tried to take away Don’t want to be no hero I’m just a kid who can’t forget The one thing I knew I’d find my way Back To You#ANZACDay #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem

Whether the beginning or end, she said yes… <figure id="figure-5dsssf5fpmm7f8rc9e"><iframe id="5dsssf5fpmm7f8rc9e" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XEJZbtFRYaw" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/XEJZbtFRYaw?si=ICaOrm4m4vf4wUUU" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XEJZbtFRYaw" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure>#newmusic #shesaidyes #singersongwriter #maton #MatonEBG808-TE

She Said Yes

At the very beginning of this journey, I sat down with the incredibly talented artist Nate Hill to explore the visual side of this project. The album’s Big Idea revolves around time—its passage, its cycles, and its profound impact on our lives. From the start, I knew the artwork needed to reflect this theme and unfold like a story as each single was released, leading up to the final album cover.In collaboration with Nate, we developed a concept that I’m deeply proud of—a visual long game that embodies the album’s core themes, weaving art and music together in a powerful way.The landscape artwork you see is the overarching vision for this project. It serves as a timeline of sorts, with the spheres’ phases representing the journey across the singles and the album. Each phase marks a different chapter:&nbsp;• The left side captures the covers for ‘One More Day’ and ‘Something to Hold’,&nbsp;• The right side symbolises the covers for ‘Love Will Find a Way’ and ‘Dark Days’.These singles act as bookends to the complete album artwork, which stands at the very center—the apex of the journey.There’s also a hidden gem Nate incorporated: the spheres in the sky are more than just symbolic—they’re visual representations of the waveform for each track. Every sun phase carries the unique fingerprint of its corresponding song. It’s subtle but incredibly meaningful, and I love how this detail brings the music and art even closer together. See if you can spot the differences between them!This collaboration has been an amazing experience and another way to share the story behind the album. I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes glimpse into its creation. <figure id="figure-wms7akehv3m5rrdodb"data-full-width><iframe id="wms7akehv3m5rrdodb" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UUSg8W-oWdk" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/UUSg8W-oWdk?si=YZHa_PtSf3r3lQea" data-corners="default" data-fullWidth="true"></iframe></figure>
