Hanging out at southbank today. To many memories of aus idol n xfactor auditions. Don't know how i feel...

Going to upload a cover soon where its just me n my guitar. I'm a bit nervous as its raw and electronicless.

Just heard the sadest thing. On the train we went past a hospital and this little boy pointed to it n said this is where my dad died.

Agh! How could i leave home without my headphones! My life today is going to be musicless. :-(

Its a big day for me. Getting love defeat mastered by dave neil. I'm excited but very nervous.

Omfg sneaky sound system were amazing. I touched conies hand.

People are never who they seem. I'm never who i seem. Its just a vicious circle, but i'm ready to play the game.

Enjoying the sunshine. Feels like forever since i've seen it.

2011 were in the future.

ran like crazy to catch train! jumped like a retard through the doors thinking i was goin to miss it. was embarrassed when the train didn't move for 5mins. Fail

Having chinese and green tea for dinner. One healthier them the other :-P

I feel that being able to express myself through music has allowed me to get through some pretty tough times in my life. Do you feel that music has done the same for you?

Kaity perry on tonight! How do i not have tickets! :-(

Some guy threw a rock at me today. I would have hoped that post primary n high skool i wouldn't have to put up wit bullies.

I think the world can find peace if we can all be @ peace within ourselves...its hard but don't hold onto hate.

I have the nicest mum in the world! She made me the best bacon n egg muffin thing for breakfast!

Martin solveig! Amazing! Creamfields rocks!

Brisbane city is filled with concrete building. Its the canvas for urbanism.

Heading to the coast for some much needed chill time.

Its bucketing down here. Everything is a shade of grey and has a presence of emptiness...i strangly feel at home in this city

ASK ME ANYTHING I DARE YOU!

Lady gaga is not a conceptual idea , a character or persona! She is real - an artist

I'm at movie world today! All the ride lines are an hour long!

Just got back from a ted x change seminar thing. My eyes have been opened to a few things. One thing being that global change is possible

Too many people try and be who people want them to be...so instead just be.

Ahh i feel so releaved all of my assignments are submitted! Now i can just chill and do yoga!

What the hell! time moves so fast. But here i am living like someone's pressed pause! Can anyone relate?

What a crazy election!

I fell in love with a shooting star. But what i feel is just the memory of you. You're not real...

My bus just broke down. It made a massive bang sound then half the bus was scraping on the floor and the bus driver kept driving...

Just watched benny and june. Such an amazing story. Johny depp was amazing!

life runs in circles. We live under a system controlled these patterns. can you free yourself from a loop when you already know what's going to happen?

About to get my haircut! I'm a bit sacred...

I'm eating pumpkin resotto from my work. Omg this is so yummm!

Is music really just brain washing us? imbedding messages into our subconcious?

So many puzzels. Puzzels everywhere...

Sometimes i wonder and i wonder for too long. Then i forget how long i wondered for...

Nothing is ever what it seems. Even what you see. The cracks in the surface will remind you of what is and what isn't.

I look so hard but i see no stars...the night is dark

I just had a dream about apple juice. Got up went to find some but settled for sprite...

Stephen Carmichael's New Single My Heart

The day has finally arrived! After months of hard work slaving away on my laptop asking questions like should the drums be 1bd louder, and I need more space in the mix, and it doesn't build enough in the choruses I'm proud to release my new single titled "My Heart!"

It's been an extremely long 3 and a half months but I've made it! I started writing this song on April the 16th (2010) and I uploaded a demo for you all to listen to and to 'review'.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to lend me their thoughts on how to improve the track!
and I have to note three important people who helped me tremendously!

First of all thank you to Kiri Jenkinson who helped me perfect the lyrics. Thank you to producer Daniel Taylor who gave me is pearls of production wisdom and helped me perfect the 'mixing' side of things.


But the biggest thank you of all has to go to Jay Echeverria who is actually featured on the track!!! Thanks to Jay I have some awesome electric guitar parts (with his signature sound) in the mix. He also sung some of the backing vocals...

Once again It's been a long journey but it's been worth it! It's already in the process of being uploaded to iTunes and almost every other online store (tunecore assures me it will be before August the 14th).

But, If you like you can listen to the song and maybe even purchase a copy of it from here:
www.stephencarmichael.com/music.htm


Also keep your eyes peeled to my you tube Chanel as I'm going to upload the film clip to this song any day!

Your continued support means so much and I want to say that without you this journey into the music world would be even harder...

Will tomorow bring the light that is needed in my life?

So many things i have to do this year. But i will find the time. Time is only constrained by my mind.

I need your help

HI I just uploaded a new song called My Heart. It's still in working progress. I've decided to do something different for this release. Instead of just posting the final version of the song, I'm going to keep you up to date with how the song progresses. But here's the catch. I want your help. Have a listen and let me know what you think needs fixing, developing, basically any thoughts you have let me know...

I want this song to be perfect.

All the chairs were lined up neatly in a row. All expect for one. I felt sorry for it...so i sat on it.

Handle bars, and i let go, let go for anyone...

Starry Eyed Cover - Ellie Goulding

what a week it's been! I've been battling uni assignments, work, trying to have a social life and some how I manage to find time to keep my music alive.

To prove to you that I've still got it(!), I did a quick cover of Starry Eyed by Ellie Gouling. I really love this artist! She's made her debut into the industry I think Jan this year (don't quote me on that) but her music is extremely fresh!!! Finally there's some good music to spice up the pop industry!!!! 

I heard this song on the radio (I think it was nova) one night after work. 

but anyway, I think this is a really beautiful song...and Ms. Gouling is a very unique artist and I think she's going to hit it big in Aus...

For those who went gaga, how was it?

Who would you be if the only opinions that mattered where yours?

It seems inevitable that someone will break the fall. One day i might see dream i have that i thought would never be

Wow such a beautiful sunset. The sky is painted crimson with splashes of violet.

I saw a balloon climb so high. It reached for so much more. But the presure became too much and it popped...

I just can't open this letter that's been waiting here for me...

I keep waiting forever for nothing to happen...

Just passed the clem 7 tunnel. It says overweight vehicles do not enter. Thats a bit discriminative!

In the bus i ride, everyone has music in their ears. Even the bus driver. Why does music mean so much?

Why do i feel defeated? What did i have to loose?

success!!! I've finally got my website (www.stephencarmichael.com) on the first page of Google when searching my name!!! It's no. 5 atm!

featured as an artist on IMRadio

I wanted to let you know that I've been selected as a featured artist on Im radio!!!! woot! that's really exciting for me...

Here's there home page address where they put my photo on the slider thingy :-)

I'm in a deep sleep but my eyes are wide open

A fan goes around in circles and never questions why. It stops and starts as instructed and never disobeys. But one day i met a fan that broke free. It was sick of being told what to do and so it spun so fast that it broke of its hinges. The result was disasterous. The fan hurt its owner (almost chopped off my head)! As a result the fan was replaced. Now the fan lays in a junk yaurd alone with piles of rubbish. But it lies in pride! Forever it will remember the brief seconds of flying independently through the sky. It felt alive!
