Emmeline Anthony is a student at Somerset College and performed this story as part of Storyfest 2022.
Her story 'When This Becomes Enough' tackles a feeling I know I felt when I was in my teens. Why go outside when I am totally comfortable inside my room? My perfectly safe space.
I asked Emmeline if her story was a song, what would the lyrics be? I then used her lyrics to write a song that that accompanies this wonderful episode.
Thanks to Andrea Lewis and the Storyfest team and to all the staff and students at Somerset College on the Gold Coast. And thank you Emmeline for writing and performing this story for us.
Cheers to Jake Morton for performing with me on beats and samples and to Somerset students, Aleeza Tariq and Riddhi Athota for the introductions.
I hope you enjoy.
