John Kerslake. Singer, songwriter from Sunshine Coast. Always been aware of the magical qualities of music and try to create the same.
It's just me at the moment. I've been writing and performing my own music for about twenty years now with increasing intensity. Sometimes I get lost in the cause in my lyrics, wishing I could get the message of love and peace across. Sometimes I just have fun with my songs. Sometimes I write and sing about the sadness we can experience but I always like to think there's a positive side to all in the end. I also like the attraction of fantasy and have written songs about Faeries, mermaids and even a sorcerer. I can immerse in fantasy but embed messages on life in there. Makes it fun to listen to as well.

Story behind the song
Had some very tumultous times when I was a kid. Used to sit on the beach and imagine a mermaid coming out of the sea to take me away. Guessed that fueled a fascination for mermaids and all the old stories of them. Recorded in one take at Herrrin Larkin's studio on Stanley River road Maleny back in the in the year dot.
Lyrics
She kisses me with scarlet lips out of the warm blue sea she slips across her face, I trace a smile the silver wind it starts to sigh In my addiction, in my addiction Mermaids and fiction, in my addiction You know sweet love we need you so on breath of storm please follow home Through silver spears that choose their fate I’m chasing lightning but I’m too late In my addiction, in my addiction Mermaids and fiction, in my addiction Wild horses scream and ride the wind I close my eyes against the stinging rain She presses close, her haunting sound Her lips they scar me, as she takes me down
