Produced by Jared Haschek and Christopher Wiseman, “Write Me When You Can” is a moving duet written by Kara Ciezki and Judd Field, and inspired by the story of a young man who leaves his family farm to serve in the Australian Army.

Set between home and behind enemy lines, the song follows two voices writing to each other across distance. One waiting in Australia, the other serving in Vietnam, they’re holding onto a connection through letters, memory, and hope.

The song was inspired by the lived experiences of an Australian soldier, Lance Corporal Smith, who recounts his experiences of army training, trekking in New Guinea, SAS soldiering in Vietnam and coming home to a life altered, living as an army veteran. The story is drawn from the upcoming memoir by Leisa Gittings, where Lance Corporal Smith reflects, “Vietnam was one great experience I’ll never quite get over.”

The song reflects both the immediacy of war and its lasting impact, with moments that echo long after the final note. Lines including “when the Huey’s sound at midnight” and “the flares still light my skies” bring listeners into the reality of Vietnam, while the duet itself captures the quiet strength of love enduring through separation.

Further Notes:
The song was inspired by the upcoming memoir written by Leisa Gittings.
“A memoir of innocence, adventure, friendship, loss and longing for home.
A biography of a young man’s experience serving in the Australian army and touring wartime Vietnam.
This is a deeply personal account of a time that no longer exists, while the human vulnerabilities and responses are universal and timeless. This is an adventure story and a significant document of Australian War History, with an essence of our deep human need for belonging and connection with friends, family and home”.
Lance Corporal Smith (Michael Smith) is my uncle from my mother’s side of the family. Leisa Gittings is the daughter of Michael Smith and my cousin.

This is the 9th and last single to be released off the highly anticipated album SMASH IT UP!
These songs are a great combination with a common theme of heartbreak which is quickly turned into resilience and strength. ‘Break My Heart’ by Dua Lipa starts in a similar fashion to ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor, with similar heartbreak messages and was the perfect combination to smoothly transition into the iconic Gaynor song. The bring to life the story of something that was too good to be true and staying strong not to let them back in your life and bring you down.
The combination of these two songs overlapping their melodies and lyrical lines with a sensational arrangement, give room to bring each songs features out and allows the backing harmonies to shine. Using Dua Lipa’s ‘New Rules’ with its rhythmic almost spoken feel to bring home the message of not to let that person who broke you back into your life, sits so well underneath the layers and the iconic tune of the ‘I Will Survive’ theme.
The inclusion of ‘This Love’ (released in 2004 as the second single from Maroon 5’s debut album) towards the end of the song showcases the vocal talent of Judd Field with a charged solo, which continues to bring a slick and punchy pop dynamic amongst all the layers of the band and harmonies in this mashup.
The band is just sensational, and they really drive this mashup through and hold the rhythms steady while at the same time giving everything space. When the horns have their moments, the song elevates to the next level. The harmonies and vocal arrangements are genius, and you can’t help but want to dance to this song.

What is SMASH IT UP
SMASH IT UP is an album concept and show created by Kara Ciezki, that specialises in re-creating mashups in ways you never expected!
A mashup is a technique which involves the blending of two or more pre-recorded songs, where the vocal track of one song is overlayed seamlessly over the instrumental track of another song. There are thousands of mashups that have been created by DJ’s and music producers, but these new releases take the mashup to another level – a SMASH UP!
Using well known iconic songs that people know and love from artists including Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Adele, Britney Spears and The Eurythmics, and putting them together with more recent artists such as Billie Eilish, Tones & I, Jonas Brothers, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, these songs have been re-created beyond the typical ‘mashup.’
Expect to hear incredible recordings with a sensational live band, horn section, and 50+ layers of vocal harmonies and arrangements.
The album will be released in full in October 2024, with all 9 singles off the album being released over the next 12 months in both Stereo and Dolby Atmos.
You may have heard these songs before, but what sets these releases apart is the fact you’ve never heard them arranged in this way or in Dolby Atmos with immersive sound.
