Speaker 1: that you have country music, there's just something about the

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: raw honesty of your music. I think even in these times,

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: that helps cut through to the fans. Just to speak

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,720

00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of always been

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 2: the appeal of our genre, right, It's like it's kind

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: of the music of the everyman, you know. I think

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: that's always been the beauty of.

22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: It, you know, and when you write songs too, Like

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: when I was listening just before two crazy. It's beautiful crazy.

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: I thought, I wonder if he's run that past the

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: wife and she has to okay the songs, or does

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: she go could we do a bit more beautiful and

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: drop the crazy stuff or no?

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: Man, she approved of that one. That was we had

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: only been We had only been together for about two

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: weeks when I wrote that song about her.

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and you just you felt it in the

32
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: heart and when I got something special.

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: For you, I did.

34
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

35
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: I played it for the day that I wrote it.

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, what a moment that would have been.

37
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I was nervous, man, I was. I

38
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: was nervous. She was going to think I was weird

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: for playing something that you.

40
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Know, I learned the guitar as a kid, and I

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: tried that out the back of the house one time

42
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: with a version of sexual healing. It fell over bad.

43
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: Like look, it didn't get me any further with the

44
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: girl I was trying to impress. I can tell you

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: that much. It was an absolute It was an absolute

46
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: balls up. I think she hooked up with my mate,

47
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: So that was a shit one. But if you I

48
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: mean in terms of your music and sitting down with

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: the guitar and the clean, clean lit what's the word

50
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking for? The clean sound of your guitar and

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: your lyrics. When you started writing, was that something that

52
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: you always felt you had, you know?

53
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 2: I really I just always kind of believed in my voice, right,

54
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: Like I just to always had supreme like confidence in that,

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: you know. So when I started playing shows, really I

56
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 2: had probably only been playing guitar for about a year,

57
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: it was at that point. So my guitar playing was

58
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: really bad, but I knew that I could sing good

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: enough to where people wouldn't really pay attention to how

60
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: bad I'm a guitar player I was. So that worked

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: out for me.

62
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: That was an advantage for me because I think it's

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: awesome too because I've got three kids. My youngest is

64
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: two and a half. You've got techs, is that right,

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: who's eight months old? I mean that's a whole new

66
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: range of emotion, love and life experience that I'm hoping

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: comes continuously pouring out in your songs.

68
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it definitely will kind of started, you know,

69
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: right and towards that thing. There's you know, there's one

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: song on my new two I guess on my new

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: record that I kind of reference that a little bit,

72
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: but haven't really taken a deep dive into that yet

73
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: as far as writing goes. But I'm looking forward to doing.

74
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: That because you know, the funny thing is, too, I

75
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: reckon as a parent, everyone talks about when you have

76
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: a baby and there's that love that's meant to just flow,

77
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: and that happens, but then you realize as you become

78
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: a dad that love is multiplied and grows every day,

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: so you continue to have a new experience of that

80
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: level of love.

81
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree, you know, I would say, you know,

82
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: I think the bond between the mother and the child

83
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: is really instant, you know, and for the dad, it

84
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: kind of takes a little bit of time, you know

85
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's like because you're you know, and

86
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: obviously you know you love your kid unconditionally when they're born,

87
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: but it's like as time goes on and as they

88
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: begin to kind of reciprocate the feelings that you have

89
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: towards them, at least from my experience as a dad,

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: that's when it really sets in. And yeah, it does

91
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: get better every day. I agree with you on that.

92
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, we we listened to a lot of music

93
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: at home and We were listening to Cats in the

94
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Crate all the other day and Ted said, what's that

95
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: all about? And I said, well, it's about being a

96
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: dad and realizing that whatever produce you produce and the

97
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: dad that you are in the kid's life, there's a

98
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: good chance that kid will grow up to be the

99
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: dad that you were. And in the song, the dad

100
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: wasn't always there, and it's just a great moment to

101
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: reflect on what you're doing, going I want I want

102
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: to be that dad. I want to be that dad

103
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: that's there.

104
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, definitely man. And that's uh, that's utmost importance

105
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: to me. You know, it is given my child, you know,

106
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: I mean, because right, he didn't choose to be born, right,

107
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: I mean, so it was like it's kind of our

108
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: decision to bring him into the world. So really it's

109
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: like I think there's a big responsibility, you know, to

110
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: give them the relationship they deserve to have with their

111
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: with their parents.

112
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Well, that's right, you and they did thirty seconds of

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: work and then the next thing, you know, for me,

114
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: it was about fifteen looke, what what I love about

115
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: what you do too? And you would appreciate it is

116
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: just how much Australia loves country music.

117
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh man, Yeah, I had no idea, you know, I mean,

118
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: just crazy for it. Man, it's awesome.

119
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, ninety ninety thousand tickets in a couple of hours,

120
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: it's just unbelievable.

121
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is, man, unexpected. You know, I think

122
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: we all wish that that we could we could get

123
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: some bigger venues and do some bigger shows down there,

124
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: but uh, I think the I think there's something Women's

125
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: World Cup or something like when we're there.

126
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Okay, sure it wasn't so.

127
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: There wasn't an opportunity to get any bigger venues.

128
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Because do you know what that means. It's pretty simple.

129
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: You're just gonna have to come.

130
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,480
