I am a Melbourne based songwriter who has been writing songs for many years and have been performing at venues across Melbourne for the past two years.
My songs are about a variety of issues including social, racial and economic justice, philosophical and environmental matters, family life, children, animals and personal relationships.
I also compose instrumental music ranging from piano based pieces to guitar based rock songs.

Heidelberg Hill
Words & Music: © 2025 Wayne Mitchell
When the world is crowded or you’re feeling down
Maybe your thinking’s clouded, too many people around
To get away from all the fuss and take some time to rest
To gaze for miles around you know there’s
One place that’s the best
Heidelberg Hill oh you see the city lights
When time is standing still oh in the middle of the night
When the world is too loud or you’re feeling low
Perhaps you need some quiet there’s one place you can go
To get away from all the fuss and find some time to rest
To gaze for miles around you know there’s
One place that’s the best
On Heidelberg Hill oh you see the city lights
As time is standing still though in the middle of the night
Heidelberg Hill oh gaze on city lights
Past the paper mill oh in the middle of the night
Hi hi hi hi.
Hello From Here
Words & Music: © 2025 Wayne Mitchell
Hey hello from here the weather’s fine and the sky is clear
The days keep rolling by as the clouds do across the sky
I hope you’re feeling fine with lots of reasons still to shine
I hope your life is kind and I may see you someplace in time
Hey hello from me I hope today that you will see
The bluest skies of happiness
And all of life will provide the rest
I hope you’re doing well with lots of stories left to tell
I hope your life is good
And it has blessed you just as it should
I hope that all your dreams come true
And life unfolds so beautifully just for you
Hey hello from here the days go by as do the years
Hey hello from me wherever you are I will be
You know that life goes by so fast
Before you know it your time has passed
So I hope your life is great
With such contentment that time must wait
I know some place in time
That I will be here when you arrive
I hope that all your dreams come true
And all your wishes they will too just for you
I hope that all your dreams come true
And life unfolds so beautifully just for you.
Go Back To Where You Came
Words & Music: © 2025 Wayne Mitchell
Once we were so happy, our life worth living for
But our home was ravaged, homeless evermore
Came here on a slow boat, migrants in a new home
But what I keep on hearing chills me to the bone
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came
You know it’s never been quite the same
No it’s never been quite the same
Wander through a new town where custom seems so strange
And we have to wonder why things need to change
Strangers in a new home abused from far and near
And the message coming keeps ringing through my ears
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came
You know you’ll never be quite the same
No you’ll never be quite the same
When we came around here we didn’t know what to do
There’s nowhere to hide when they are screaming at you
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came
I was just a child when we went away
But it always seems that we will remain
Strangers in a new land abused from far and near
And what I keep on hearing fills me with such fear
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came
You know it’s never been quite the same
No it’s never been quite the same
When we came around here we didn’t know what to do
There’s nowhere to hide when they are screaming at you
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came
You know it’s never been quite the same
No you’ll never fit in with our ways
Go back to where you came
Go back to where you came.
In Melbourne Tonight
Words & Music: © 2025 Wayne Mitchell
In the day there’s always room to play
There’s always some place you can go
But after dark the contrast is stark
Some have no place they can go
There’s a man over there he’s got nothing to spare
He’s hiding from the lights
There’s someone over there without any cares
In Melbourne tonight, in Melbourne tonight
In Melbourne tonight
Darkness covers our faults, hides terrible sights
We’re blinded by the lights
Morning brings a new day we go on our way
And everything’s right
In the day there’s always room to play
There’s always some place you can go
But come the dark the contrast is stark
Some have no place left to go
There’s a woman over there she’s full of despair
And hiding from the lights
There’s someone over there who doesn’t even care
In Melbourne tonight, in Melbourne tonight
In Melbourne tonight
There’s a man over there he’s got no one who cares
He’s hiding from the lights
There’s someone over there without any cares
In Melbourne tonight, in Melbourne tonight
In Melbourne tonight.
