about

"10 Out of 10” is a reflection on the memories we characterize as “mistakes”; an invitation to embrace the past and use our narrative as a vehicle for change and growth. It is also a celebration of the friends who love and support us in times of trouble.

My New Year’s resolution was to dance more in 2020. For me, dancing signifies facing fears, shaking off insecurity to create a physical expression of joy and freedom. My intention with “10 Out of 10” is to make people dance, even if they’re dancing alone in their homes.

lyrics

Seasick and restless
Beaches and shipwrecks in my heart
Sunburned and crying
Sufferin’ in silence in the dark

‘Til I met a sailor with the same name
As the boy I left behind on that October day
What are the chances?
Brazilians are dancin’
Take my hand
Waking up in strangers’ beds and
Breaking out at 6 am
Down the fire escape
Of the military base in Cairns

Bad taste in men
Should make amends
But I just pray and say amen
10 out of 10, would recommend
I’d make that same mistake again

Home from vacation
With smoke inhalation
From a world on fire

On the brink of starvation
I would drink for inspiration
In a world on fire

But I’ll keep your secrets
If you’ll be my weakness
Will you save me from feeling
When I’m craving tequila?
What are the chances
We’re both here dancin’
Take my hand

Waking up in neighbours’ beds and
Staying up til 8 am
And I’m not afraid
‘Cause you love me the way I am

Good taste in friends
Sweet, no regrets
Stick with you ‘til the bitter end
10 out of 10, would recommend
I’d make that same mistake again

Good taste in friends
Sweet, no regrets
Stick with me ‘til the bitter end
10 out of 10, would recommend
I’d make that same mistake again

10 out of 10, would recommend
I’d make that same mistake again

10 out of 10, would recommend
I’d make that same mistake again
