New Tracks ^[9]

• "Radio" - The song was recorded by both Hendra's band Supanatural and Bachelor Girl, however, neither of these albums were released. The song speaks of the power of well-loved songs being heard once again on the radio.

• "To Whom It May Concern" - The song sends a wish-list and tender invitation out into the world, like a message in a bottle. For anyone who would love to be someone's 'Yours Truly'.

• "No Ordinary Day" - The song was written on a bright sunny winter's afternoon in Melbourne. Most people can relate to the early morning other-worldliness after a joyous, unexpected, sexual debut of a new relationship. Captured perfectly in this lyric, the sweet tang of adrenalin, lack of sleep and quiet excitement becomes beautifully present.

• "We're a Natural" - Inspired by the Byron Bay surroundings, this hippy and spiritual lyric captures the earth-child's vision of perfect simplicity. Warm sand and deep twilight after a perfect beach day birthed a happy, energetic celebration of life au naturel.
