Rabbit Hole (In Love We Hide)
Songwriter – Chris de Souza
“Rabbit Hole was written just before the Australian government stepped up their game in dealing with the pandemic, and I was starting to freak out and go into self-preservation mode. Writing this song helped me realign with my value for community, to take care of my neighbours as I take care of myself.”
Lil’ Community
Songwriter – Angela Koranski (Artist Name: Angie Grace)
Staying at home during a pandemic is not how singer songwriter, Angie Grace imagined spending her final year of high school. “I decided to use social isolation as a time to write music and to work out how I could communicate to an audience when I couldn’t play my music live. Lil’ Community is my interpretation of finding pleasure in small acts of kindness and one good deed deserving of another.”
Under the Milky Way
Songwriter – Francesca de Valence
“I wrote this song with my mama in mind – so therefore it had to be a bossa nova. She loves when I play my French bossa nova songs. I self-recorded this song the following weekend after writing, made a music video at home, and released it. It was totally freeing to release music this way.”
