1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been really exciting. I've been a little bit overwhelming,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Like I didn't expect you to be so many people

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: streaming my song.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: A number of we are air on Spotify.

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: I've just reached over nine thy five hundred, so wow,

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: it's pretty insane.

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: And the other half she mum, Yeah, there's many more tuned. Again,

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: that's really cool. You did share it with us, but

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: remind us again, what's the song about.

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Oh, it's cool from the hillside and it's about staying

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: grounded in your roots but sipping out of the comforter

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: home to chase your dreams. And it was co written

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: with Eshley Dallas as well.

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: And that all steamed from that workshop you went over

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: to os Foray.

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the academy run by the Country Music Association of

17
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Australia and that was in Tamworth. Yeah, in July last year.

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: How long did it take to write?

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: Oh, we got about two or three hours together and

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: we smashed it out there and it was really Yeah,

21
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: it was Ashley's amazing. She's like an amazing artist herself

22
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: and she really inspires me and she just we just

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: bounced off each other. It was really cool.

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: You a linear person where you like, we have to

25
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: start with the opening line and then work our way

26
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: through or is it just a whole mishmash of both

27
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: and they go down on the piece of paper. Yeah.

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was sort of like that. Were just like

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: anything that came to mind. We were writing it down

30
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: and then we sort of formed a structure of it,

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: I guess, But yeah, it was an amazing experience.

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: Did the song change much from the first version to

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: the final recording?

34
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Not really? Wow, Okay, maybe a little bit, but just

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: with the different keys of it. It was in maybe

36
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: a bit lower I think I recorded it than the original,

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, it wasn't too much of a difference I think.

38
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: And then helping with that process was another Ashburton museoh

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: Liam Kennedy class.

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he produced it for me. He was amazing.

41
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

42
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we worked remotely, I guess I was in here.

43
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: I was an Ashburton and then he did everything from

44
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Australia and at his studio and it was just an

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: amazing experience working with him.

46
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: A crazy day and age we live in with the

47
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: technology like that.

48
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Definitely, it was I wasn't sure how it was gonna

49
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: work because I hadn't done this before. Yeah, and yeah

50
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: he was awesome. I had just seen through updates with

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: the song, and then I went to record vocals. I

52
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: went a crossover to ten Mill to record with Connor

53
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Jane and his home studio.

54
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's got like a pretty mint garish.

55
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in his house, like in the living room.

56
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

57
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. What was that like? Recording for the first time?

58
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: It was really cool. I had recorded once before, but

59
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: it was nothing like this, Like, you know, we went

60
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: to Connor Jane's studio and then Liam was on FaceTime

61
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I guess, but he had this They both had this

62
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: app where they could see the track and they could

63
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, look it over, edit it here, and he'd

64
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: just tell me what he needed me to do. It

65
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: didn't take long to redo it.

66
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: Is it like when you watch them filming stuff for

67
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: TV where it's take three, take a, take fifteen, Like

68
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: did you did you get repetitive?

69
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I think I ran through the full song about five times,

70
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: I think, and then yeah, and then we did like

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: we dropped in certain places and I just did little

72
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: certain bits and then with those different parts he merched

73
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: he put it all together into the one song.

74
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: What was that feeling like hearing the song fully mixed

75
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: and finished for the first.

76
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: Time, it was pretty surreal. I think, well, I would

77
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: have played it with mum and dad and it was

78
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: just kind of insane. I was like, this is going

79
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: out to the world. Yeah, it was a long, like

80
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: a big process, I guess, big learning thing for Mom

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: and I. And yeah, it was cool. We went through

82
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: checks Label Services they distributed it for us, and that

83
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: was a real eye opener. Well, they it's all the

84
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: They put it out to all the streaming platforms and

85
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: they pitched it to certain.

86
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: So they take care of all that.

87
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it was really because obviously Mom and I

88
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: just was way over a huge we had known. We

89
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: didn't realize how big that part was. And yeah, they

90
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: pitched it to Spotify playlist to try and get it

91
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: out there, and I've been lucky to get on a

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Spotify playlist called Heaps Country.

93
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: So it helps to boost the streams obviously. Yeah. Right, Yeah,

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: I got an email from them, and you know, as

95
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: a radio station, you just get all these random emails

96
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: from people trying to pitch different things, and most of

97
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: the time it's just delete, delete, delete, But on this

98
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: one occasion, your name caught my eye and I went, oh,

99
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 2: I recognized that. Yeah that's cool, it's big time.

100
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been awesome, Like, yeah, they've done heaps for

101
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: me and I love that.

102
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon it would be more nerve wracking sharing

103
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: a work of art something like this with friends and

104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: family v. The rest of the world. What was that

105
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: like sharing this with the people who are nearest and dearest.

106
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I guess it was a bit different this time because

107
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: a lot of them had already heard it. I've performed

108
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: it a few times, but I've all had good feedback,

109
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: so it's fun.

110
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes friends and family can be the most brutal critics, right,

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: especially younger members.

112
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. But it's been pretty cool.

113
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: So so around all that, it's whirlwinds times. Was it

114
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: last month that you were over in Gimpi a place

115
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: called Gimpy? Yeah, we were What a funny name.

116
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: I know it is. I've seen that to a lot

117
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: of friends, like I'm going over to Gimpey and you're like.

118
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: What, don't come back with something?

119
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Where is that in Queensland near Risbane?

120
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: I guess okay, it was it quite a big place.

121
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: No, well, we act didn't get into Gimpia. It was

122
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: like in a forest outside of it were at the

123
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Gimpi Music Muster, so it was like a huge festival.

124
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: It's starting to sound a bit hippy, hippy and gimpy.

125
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in just in the forest for four nights

126
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: and really yeah, music all the time. It was. It's

127
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: amazing that we reckon. There was about sixty thousand people

128
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: camping there and music from like nine am to two

129
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: am then about we reckon eight stages Wow, playing music

130
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: and it was really cool because when you're at one

131
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: of the stages, you'd think you'd hear like there's a

132
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: lot going on, but you can't hear the other stages

133
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: in them.

134
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. So what did you take from that experience?

135
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh? I I want to go again.

136
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah it was it was just good vibes.

137
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, it was just good vibes. And it would

138
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: be amazing to play the one day, like all the

139
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: big names are playing there, like Hayley Belle played there

140
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: this year and Wolf Brothers and Liam and Gebbie did

141
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: Boka Sweet. Oh yeah, so that was called to catch

142
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: them as well.

143
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Did you get to hang out in their green

144
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: room or something? Oh?

145
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: No, that was pretty busy.

146
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: It's not the connection now, right.

147
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did catch them to say hi, but yeah,

148
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool.

149
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: Did you get to perform at any stage during this

150
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: or it was more of a fan thing? Oh you did?

151
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: I did with my my besprim Phoebe Rose. She had

152
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: a couple of spots there. She won the IKEA Awards,

153
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: which is another competition. I haven't been there before, but

154
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: because she won that, she got a spot there, I'm

155
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: pretty sure. And then she was kind of enough to

156
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: invite me to come up and sing some songs with her.

157
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: That was really cool, right, yeah, it would be. It'd

158
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: be a dream to play there one.

159
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Day, get a headline spot. Well, your stocks are well

160
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: and truly on the rise, because it was while you

161
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: were at that that you received a message about this

162
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: Entertainer of the Year award, right, yes.

163
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Yep, it was so with the Entertainer of the Year,

00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,360

Speaker 1: entered my song and at the south Way Katto Ones

166
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: earlier on this year, and I was lucky enough to

167
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: win it, which made me qualify as a finalist for

168
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Entertainer of the Year. But the thing was they are

169
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: top two out of the eight winners. So I was

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: one of the eight and I wasn't expecting to be

171
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: one of the top two. And it was a.

172
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: Pretty stiff competition. What do you say there?

173
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh, it was like insane because we all listened to

174
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: there was the meet and greet the night before the

175
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: competition and we got to listen to the other finalists

176
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: that were in the top two and they're just amazing songs.

177
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Like to be up with all those all those people

178
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. And in Yeah, while I was in

179
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: I was in Australia, we got the message that I

180
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: was one of the top two finalists for it and

181
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: that you know, we're gonna hit to be a toad

182
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: on her which was the last weekend.

183
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so did the email say you have to be there? Yeah?

184
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Well it was like you've got your rehearsal slot.

185
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: And everything, we want you to perform live.

186
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. We performed it live and we got to perform

187
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: with the amazing DCP band and they just brought the

188
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: song to life. For me, it was just great to

189
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: be out with them.

190
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: So frantic booking to make them neat. So he came

191
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: runner up and that's that's another song. Right.

192
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one's called Where Wildflowers Grow, and that was

193
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: one that I did on my own, and yeah, so

194
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: it was really cool when I got runner up with

195
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: that one.

196
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Which do you prefer writing by yourself or

197
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: the collaborative effort?

198
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Probably collaborative. I've only done it once, but I know

199
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I find it a lot harder on my own. But

200
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: I do think that a lot of artists find it

201
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: as well, like that when you're just to them that

202
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: they find co writing a lot bit and it's fun

203
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: as well making connections. And so I've got a couple

204
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: opportunities that i might do a bit more co writing

205
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: as well.

206
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I might come back to that. So this this

207
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: track hasn't been recorded yet.

208
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: No, it hasn't.

209
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: Is that in the works.

210
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not too sure yet because.

211
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: I get the impression that maybe you weren't as sold

212
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: on the song The Hillside.

213
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm very picky with my sol bagis and I

214
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: was so avy with from the Hillside, and then when

215
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: I wrote it, it's kind of like a joke in

216
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the family. I was like, oh, it's not good enough.

217
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: I was. I'm pretty hard on myself and that.

218
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but aren't we all?

219
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: They?

220
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: Right?

221
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess it was an eye opener to

222
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: even make the finals with that one, you know that

223
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: maybe it was absolutely pretty good?

224
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah right, So who was it that encouraged you to

225
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: submit it into the songwriter competition?

226
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: That'd be mum, yeah, did you even tell you?

227
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 2: Or did you just do and for forgiven?

228
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: Tell me?

229
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah yeah, so yeah, I guess that segues into

230
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: what's to come.

231
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: I've got a few gigging opportunities coming out, which is

232
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: really cool. Fund ringing, Yeah, yeah, it's been pretty It's

233
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800

Speaker 1: one of them is the Tamar Farm party in the

235
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: pedic Yeah, really cool.

236
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm hanging out for this.

237
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like my first look at playing like a

238
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: vistable like that, and it's going to be really cool.

239
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: I think you can get tickets through the Facebook page.

240
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: So that's given off gimpy vibes to be fair.

241
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

242
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: Nowhereion Yeah, big camping site. There's the bonfire, of course,

243
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: reminding ourselves that we're still navigating all of this around school.

244
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you must get this all the time, the

245
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: fact that you're still just sixteen, right.

246
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have. It does surprise me that people think

247
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm a lot older than I and I get a

248
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: lot of yeah, I thought you were twenty one or something.

249
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: I need to remind myself of that. Yes, yeah, I.

250
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Got that a bit in Gimpy and I was like, oh,

251
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: because I'm still at school and just random commerce and

252
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: they're like what, yeah.

253
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: So sixteen is that's why are you? Is that year eleven?

254
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 2: Are you doing exams?

255
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm year twelve this year? Oh okay, and there are

256
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: exams at the end of the year, but I'm leaving

257
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: school to pursue music and I've got wow. Yeah, my

258
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: job of it downstairs at some st grocery millhouse care.

259
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I love bumping into you when I'm down

260
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: there for my caffeine facts.

261
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: Yep, that's a cool Yeah it is. And yeah, it's

262
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that mum and dad have me well,

263
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: no one.

264
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: But I know what you mean, right. Yeah.

265
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: It has been a bit of a struggle trying to

266
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: convince people that it's you know, it's it's I guess

267
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: it's my life. I guess it's my decision. But yeah,

268
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: I guess I've just sort of always well, since I've

269
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: started music, I don't think I've ever really thought about

270
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: anything else, to be honest, and I've pretty much said

271
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: since I've started high school, I'll be leaving it the

272
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: end of the year twelve to do music.

273
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now it's happening. Now, it's happening a little

274
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: bit scary now that we're there.

275
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: It's a bit nerve wrecking, but I guess I'm definitely

276
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: determined to make it work.

277
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: Laser focus. So does that mean there's gonna be some

278
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: more writing sessions coming up? There's some more music coming up?

279
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeap? Hopefully yeah, do it a saving and hopefully get

280
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: some more singles.

281
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: Out the end all right next year? So this is

282
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: so exciting, I guess, Yeah, are you going to stay

283
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: in Ashburton? I'm not sure, worldchie Oyster we were for

284
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: we were anyway.

285
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not quite old enough to go place. Yeah,

286
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: live somewhere else yet.

287
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't like getting to know new baristas, so look

288
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: forward to having just a little bit longer and hearing

289
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: about all this stuff. Awesome, So we're gonna have a

290
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: we jam of this new song. Remind us again, what

291
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: is it where wild flowers grow? Where wild flowers grow

292
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: and shared the inspiration behind this.

293
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: This was something just came to my own one day,

294
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: and I wrote this last year as well. It was

295
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: just sort of about my version of the afterlife. I guess, wow, yeah,

296
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: because no one really knows what happens. I guess not

297
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,479
Speaker 1: depending on what you believe, but this is what I

298
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: would like it to be.

299
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, What spurred that?

300
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Oh, it just pops into my mind.

301
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: You went watching The Walking Dead or The Last of

302
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: Us and thinking, hm, I.

303
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Don't know if that sort of song we're coming into

304
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: my head after watching it. For me, the songwriting process

305
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: is definitely when an idea just pops into my head,

306
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: and this was one of them, and it just sort

307
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: of the words just came right out
