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.
