about

Community and connection with others is at the heart of my new single, Too Much Space.

Inspired by the events of the COVID-19 lockdowns and physical distancing, I penned Too Much Space when shops closed down and people became worried about being close to each other, in a usually inclusive community.

I remember walking down to Noosa Junction and everything being closed on a Friday and it was so weird because usually there would be five musicians playing all night.

It had a feeling of loneliness and emptiness and everyone got a bit scared of each other. I feel like the whole community went downwards and being a tourist spot, people became suspicious of interstate number plates.

We all felt disconnected and separated in a community where people were usually talkative and friendly to each other, and so this song was born.

Adding to the COVID-19 theme of the song, Too Much Space was penned via a Zoom co-writing session with Cass Hopetoun and Blake Dantier.

I was feeling like my home was becoming a ghost town and they were feeling the same and had experienced the disconnection between people and community.

lyrics

This place is feeling like a ghost town
Every second shop is closing down

Life goes so fast when everything’s on the go
Wanna take my time and take things slow

Pre chorus

Were disconnected were separated yeah were losing touch
Bonds are broken no ones open yeah its all messed up


Chorus


Side by side but miles apart
I wish that we could just hit restart

I miss the small talk, the smiles and the laughs
Bring back what we’ve lost in the past

We got too much space… for a small town



Feeling lonely on my side of the street
Now they act like they don’t recognise me

Old friends are turning into strangers
And every day feels like something new changes

Pre chorus


Were disconnected were separated yeah were losing touch
Bonds are broken no ones open yeah its all messed up

Chorus


Side by side but miles apart
I wish that we could just hit restart

I miss the small talk, the smiles and the laughs
Bring back what we’ve lost in the past

We got too much space… for a small town



For a small town

Pre chorus


Were disconnected were separated yeah were losing touch

Bonds are broken no ones open yeah its all messed up

Chorus half


Side by side but miles apart
I wish that we could just hit restart


Side by side not miles apart
Maybe we could just hit restart

Back to the small talk, the smiles and the laughs
Bring back what we’ve lost in the past

We got too much space…

We got too much space

for a small town

outro


For a small town
