About this release

Nobody Joe was written in middle Victoria while i was on a break from China in 2014. Nobody Joe chronicles the problems i was having being in Aust at that time.

The story of the song in some sense is autobiographical and self deprecatory in parts, and at the same time makes observations and aspersions upon others who the character sees their weaknesses in him. It weaves patterns of life in my world which was mostly in China and then tries to make sense of this through circumstances i found myself in back in Australia and yet at the same time remain divorced of everything and thrust the whole seeming conundrum on the cut out character Nobody Joe. Nobody Joe was essentially a character i invented for the album Twobitsville in Aug 24 and who would reside within my lyrics over the years as a character of intent, but lacking in skills to finish anything off or make a success of his life.
