There’s something special about a room finding its voice together 💙

I’d watched Mark Wilkinson invite an audience to join him for Thought You’d Be Around previously when he opened for Katie Noonan... At The Ellington Jazz Club, that same invitation felt different.

There's always a little confusion about what we're supposed to sing....

Luckily, “na” on repeat is fairly forgiving😆

But the room found it. More confidence.
More heart.
People who’d arrived as strangers, singing back together to someone they’d spent the evening getting to know through his music.

That’s this moment and that moment of unity is one of the reasons this night stayed with me.

My full review of Mark’s Love and Loss Tour at The Ellington is now on the BTN website.

Have a read and check his upcoming shows through his website button in the article.

He’s continuing to tour around Australia with Katie Noonan, and with shows of his own too!

If you get the chance, go be in that room.

Support live music and the artists still working to make it happen 💙🙌

FROM THE FIRST HELLO TO THE FINAL GOODBYE ⚡

October ends with two songs sitting at opposite ends of connection — one welcoming a life into the world, the other learning how to live after someone leaves it.

Vika & Linda — “Little Baby” begins with Mālō e lelei — a welcome.
A child arrives already surrounded by love, culture and generations of people who came before them. There are hopes for who they'll become, but also reassurance that they aren't entering this life alone.
Their ancestors are with them.
Their mana is with them.
They belong.

Then Mark Wilkinson — “Goodbye” takes us to the other end of that journey.
Someone who was your teammate, your candlelight, your armour and your home is suddenly no longer beside you — yet somehow they're still everywhere.
In familiar streets.
In old songs.
In the person you've become because they existed.

And perhaps that's why these two belong together.
One says: welcome, you carry those who came before you.
The other says: goodbye, I will carry you from here.

October began with relationships ending and questions left unanswered. It finishes somewhere deeper — with the idea that connection doesn't necessarily disappear simply because somebody does.

Some people arrive and become part of who we are.

And even when it's time to say goodbye, we carry them forward.

SAYING “I LOVE YOU” AND ACTUALLY LOVING SOMEONE AREN’T ALWAYS THE SAME THING ⚡
October’s next pairing stays with relationships — but these two songs have very different ideas about what’s hiding underneath them.

Lachy Dods — “Cheesy” embraces the awkwardness of actually putting your feelings out there.
Things aren't perfect. You turn up late, say the wrong thing, get too close, pull away — and somewhere amongst all that messiness comes the terrifyingly simple question:
Would it be too cheesy to say I love you?

Then The Arcade Lights — “Miss Universe” gives us something considerably more cynical.
She looks the part. Designer bags, ch*****ne, attention and enough confidence to have everyone else convinced she's something extraordinary.
But inside the relationship, appearances aren't matching reality — and there's a growing question of whether the connection is about the person at all, or simply what they can provide.

That contrast is what brings these songs together.

One risks looking foolish by being sincere.
The other wonders whether everything that looks like affection is sincere in the first place.
Real connection isn't about looking perfect.
Sometimes it's messy, awkward and a little cheesy — but at least it's real.

SOMETIMES IT’S NOT THAT DEEP — SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO FEEL GOOD🔥

After purpose, family and standing your ground, October gets to loosen its collar a little.

Because connection can be messy, meaningful and life-changing…

But it can also be flirty, excessive, ridiculous and fun.

VANITY — “LSD (Love, S*x & Diamonds)” throws itself into a world where beauty, money and desire are all part of the transaction.
It’s deliberately over-the-top — breakfast pills, expensive thrills, older men and somebody else picking up the bill. The character knows the game being played and seems perfectly happy playing it.

Then Victony — “SLICK” brings a much smoother kind of confidence.
Attraction, nightlife, luxury and swagger glide through an Afrobeats groove that isn't asking us to analyse every feeling along the way.

And maybe we don't need to.

These two tracks give October permission to enjoy the more superficial side of connection for a minute — desire, confidence, indulgence and simply feeling yourself.

Not every encounter becomes a love story.
Not every song needs to heal something.

Sometimes the connection is just the vibe —
and the vibe is more than enough. 🔥

SOMETIMES GROWING UP MEANS DISCOVERING WHAT’S WORTH STANDING FOR ⚡
October's third pairing is about purpose — how the things that matter to us can change, and what happens when we finally understand what deserves our energy.

For Drax Project — “DADA,” that shift arrives with one tiny new name.
Dad.
Clubs close. Priorities change. Money suddenly isn't the measure it once was. Sleepless nights and missed moments become part of a life that might look completely different — but somehow makes more sense than before.

Corrella — “Not I” takes that sense of purpose somewhere louder.
When the world tells you to fall in line, the answer is simple:
Not I.
It's about questioning, speaking up and refusing to surrender the things you believe are worth protecting.

And that's where these two songs meet.
One discovers what matters through love and family.
The other asks what happens once you know your values — and somebody expects you to abandon them.

Because growing isn't only about changing.
It's figuring out what matters enough to change for —
and what matters too much to ever give up 💙

WHEN SOMEONE DISAPPEARS, IT CAN MAKE YOU QUESTION YOURSELF ⚡

The second October pairing moves from heartbreak into something a little different: absence, identity and what happens when we're left wondering where we stand.

In NiickC — “Where Have You Gone,” silence becomes its own kind of noise.
The calls aren't answered.
There’s no explanation.
And eventually the uncertainty starts turning inward.
That repeated “where have you gone?” becomes bigger than simply missing someone — it's the confusion and overthinking that can slowly close us off when we don't understand why somebody has disappeared.

Then LISA — “SaWaDiKa” crashes through the door with almost the complete opposite energy.
There’s no shrinking here.
Thai identity sits proudly alongside success, luxury and swagger. Bangkok isn't something left behind on the way to becoming a global artist — it's right there in the middle of the celebration.

And that's what makes these two such an interesting pairing.

One captures what can happen when somebody else's absence leaves us questioning ourselves.

The other is about being so firmly present in your own identity that there is absolutely no question who has arrived.

We can't always control who stays, who leaves, or whether they give us an explanation.
But we don't have to disappear with them 💙

SOMETIMES THE HARDEST PART OF GOODBYE IS NOT KNOWING WHY⚡

October on BTN begins with two songs caught in that horrible space between loving someone and accepting that they may no longer be yours.

In Tones and I — “Mercy,” the relationship is reaching its end, but there’s still something missing: honesty.
Don't soften it.
Don't leave me hanging somewhere between staying and leaving.
Just say it to my face.
There’s something painfully understandable about reaching the point where even hearing “I don't want you” would hurt less than continuing without an answer.

Ally Row — “Adeline” comes at that same loss from the other side.
Instead of asking them for answers, you start asking yourself.
What could I have done differently?
Could I have made this feel like home?
Could I have made them stay?
And maybe that's one of the cruellest things about losing a relationship — once someone is gone, we're left with enough empty space to invent a thousand different versions of how we might have saved it.

Together, these songs open October's theme of connection with something many of us eventually learn:

Sometimes love ends without giving us the answers we wanted.

We can ask them for the truth.

We can search ourselves for what went wrong.
But eventually, somehow, we still have to find our own way forward 💙
