From Palace Street ” isn’t just a song—it’s a reflection of my soul.
This track is a tribute to the people and places that shaped me. From my childhood on Palace Street where my parents ran a fruit shop, to the laughs shared with mates like Nick and Knoxie, every lyric is a moment frozen in time.
The melody came one afternoon as I was thinking about Mum and Dad. I missed them deeply—and somehow, those feelings turned into chords on my acoustic guitar.
🎵 “From Palace Street to Petersham,
Fruit crates stacked and morning jam…”
The arrangement is soft but heartfelt—featuring acoustic guitar, gentle piano, light drums, and a touch of sax. There’s warmth in the harmonies and a nostalgic ache in the verses.
💬 Why I Wrote It
After going through personal changes—career highs, divorce, and new love with Lea—I wanted to write something real. A song that my sons, Stephen and Alexander, could listen to and feel the life their dad has lived. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine.
