Copper and Tin
Releases
Copper and Tin
A song from the bottom of a hard stretch. Sawdust on the pub floor, Sydney rain coming down the tin, and a ghost in the empty chair. 'Copper and Tin' is about being out of luck and holding on anyway. Out Friday 9 October.
I'm Alright
A warm, uplifting song about finding peace in ordinary love, where small moments mean everything. 'I’m Alright' celebrates the comfort of simple living and the quiet joy of sharing life together each day now.
Sydney Street Blues
A reflective song about Sydney, grief, and resilience in the wake of loss. 'Sydney Street Blues' captures a city shaken but unbroken, honouring lives lost and the quiet strength that remains
The Bum
A dark, driving anthem about homelessness, dignity, and the invisible struggles happening in plain sight. 'The Bum' tells the story of a man who lost everything but refused to lose himself.
Veteran X
A powerful anti-war song from a veteran's perspective. 'Veteran X' explores the harsh disillusionment of combat, questioning the true cost of modern conflict and the lies told to justify it.
Stand Or Be Swallowed
A defiant protest song about resisting gradual oppression and surveillance. 'Stand or Be Swallowed' warns against complacency as freedoms slowly erode, urging people to stand and fight back
In Their Own Human Way
A heartfelt ballad about seeing parents as flawed humans, not childhood heroes. 'In Their Own Human Way' celebrates the quiet strength of unconditional love and the beauty found in imperfect, everyday heroism.
Cheating On Me
A country song about betrayal and broken friendship. A man confesses to his friend about cheating with his girlfriend, questioning if she's cheating on you, she could be cheating on me also.
Don't You Lie To Me
A passionate plea for honesty in love. 'Don't You Lie to Me' explores the fragile trust between hearts and the damage deception leaves behind. Raw vocals and driving rhythm capture the power of truth and the pain when lies threaten to tear everything apart.

What the people playing the songs are saying.
Made in a small room in Sydney
Jason Kearney writes and records his own songs in a small room in Sydney, mostly after dark. Four years in London, two long stays in Bali and thirty-odd countries on the way through all end up in the music: love and loss, shadow and light, and a dry streak of humour running underneath. Everything comes out on his own label, Polyphonic Records, a new song every four to six weeks.
