Garden of Eden - Live at Smith's Alternative

about

This is the live version of Garden of Eden (2021)

After an exhausting 2019, I was looking forward to a well-earned holiday on the South Coast. But mother nature had other plans. I became one of the many people trapped in Eden on New Year’s Eve. Garden of Eden is about my experience of that night. The song is focused on the invisible damage caused by the bushfires. My words highlight the trauma and anxiety caused by the oppressive smoke and uncertainty. This experience was shared with hundreds of thousands of people from Mallacoota, to Canberra, to the Blue Mountains, and beyond.

This song was written as part of my healing process. I wanted to put my anxiety into words and let others who felt the same know they are not alone. The impact of the bushfires on the mental health of Australians was truly horrific. By sharing my story, I hope to highlight the importance of talking about trauma, supporting each other, and the impact of climate change on our world.
