“I Never Got to Say Goodbye” was born from loss.

It’s for anyone who’s loved and lost — not just through death, but through distance, silence, or time. It began raw and unfiltered: me at the piano, sitting in grief as the melody found its way into being. It felt like an unspoken conversation with someone I could no longer reach — and then it became something bigger.

Written and produced at my studio Milk Bar in Melbourne, and mixed by Bruno Ellingham in the UK.

The song blends fragile vocals, cello, and atmosphere — cinematic, intimate, and haunting — moving between stillness and strength.

For me, it holds space for the moments when words fall short — and music says what we can’t.
