Kissing The Flint - 'Unconditionality' EP

After several years with cover bands, mentorship from established artists and more intensive concentration on her original songwriting, 6-tracks were written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy and released in May 2019 as Kissing The Flint's debut EP 'Unconditionality'. With roots, Celtic, pop, reggae and rock influences, this EP is an engaging journey down the challenging life path of love, yearning, loss and despair - yet also always seeking hope and positivity.

Fare Thee Well Lament - Kissing The Flint

Fare Thee Well Lament was written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint and was nominated for Australian Celtic Song of the Year 2020.  This beautiful track aches with Celtic imagery and explores a personally held belief that this life is not all we know and is certainly not the end.  We are meant to meet those we love, again and again, somewhere and in some other time.  There are also so many special places on Earth where the veil between worlds is gossamer thin.

I Won't Look Back - Kissing The Flint

I Won't Look Back is a honky tonk number written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint.  A song about a girl taking back control of her love life and telling her man she's walking down the road if he doesn't start to treat her right!  Official Music video was funded through the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) in Queensland, Australia - it was filmed by Wezzy Cruze and released in 2019 and can be enjoyed on Kissing The Flint's Youtube channel.

Unconditionality - Kissing The Flint

Written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy, Unconditionality is the title track of Kissing The Flint's debut EP, released in 2019.  Unconditionality is a word that summarises a positive regard ethic - in everything we do in life, we should accept others for who they are and not seek to bend them - and we should be treated, unconditionally in everything, the same way too.

I Just Want To - Kissing The Flint

Written by Leah Chynoweth-Tidy aka Kissing The Flint, this song from the 2019 EP 'Unconditionality' explores the theme of the dying embers of a relationship when one half wants things end but the other doesn't

She-Oak Affair - Kissing The Flint

Written by Leah Chynoweth-Tidy for her debut Kissing The Flint EP 'Unconditionality' released in 2019, this upbeat track reminds us that life far too often gets manic and we need to remember to take the time to slow down or stop and smell the roses.  Or in this case, relaxing on the sand under the shade of a She-Oak tree, gazing at the sea and downing a cold drink - or three!
