The people we could be hanging out with. The life-changing experiences we could be having.

This is a song all about choosing to say no to FOMO and instead drink in every precious drop of the moment I'm in right now."

About trusting that pull inside you toward the life you’re meant to live, even when it feels terrifying. I wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt too wild for the box they were expected to fit into. It’s about freedom, adventure, healing, and finding the kind of love that runs along beside you, cheering you on, instead of holding you back. I really wanted to capture that pure spirit of freedom and adventure, and I hope it inspires everyone who hears it to run toward their own passions.” says Hayley.

The tale of my friends' failing relationships and their fears that came with it.”

Clayton has a chat with Sally Jane about her new song - Fishing Taught Me Patience.“Yes, it sounds clichéd, when you go fishing you practise patience, but I really think we need to start practising it in everyday life. ‘People are rushing around, we're running out of small towns’ is probably my favourite line of the song and I see that with all the touring that I do…we are running out of small towns and that small town personality within people. This is a reminder to myself and to listeners to slow down and take a break from the busy lives and look around.” – Sally Jane

Clayton chats to  Brandi Caroline about her new song - Wild One Brandi admits that she’s a self-diagnosed wild one – always moving, never staying in one place for too long.

Clayton has a chat to Olive Mae about her new song - Country Songs “This song is about realising what the little girl inside you would want you to be doing when she grew up.

Clayton has a chat to Faith Williams  about her new song - 10 to 3 “Like a lot of people, I’ve had those mornings where the alarm goes off and you wonder how it’s already time to get up again. The idea started after my aunty sent me a meme the was going viral, wishing Dolly had written ‘10 to 3’ instead of ‘9 to 5’. It made me laugh, and before long I had a song. It’s light-hearted, relatable and a bit of fun, but I think a lot of people will see themselves in it too.” – Faith Williams

Clayton chats to Josie about her new song  - Road Signs“I wrote ‘Road Signs’ with Gavin Carfoot late 2024 after facing some career setbacks that had me feeling pretty defeated at the time,” says Josie. “I needed to remind myself that it was just one of those rusty signs on the side of the road pointing me in the right direction. If I wasn’t paying attention chances are I’d be headed the wrong way, so this song really just helped me look at life’s many dilemmas in a different light and work my way back onto my path. Sometimes you just need to slow down and listen to them ol’ road signs.”

Clayton talks to Ally Paterson about her new song  - Dig“I was inspired by the gold-rush miners who travelled across the world to try and make a go of it, even when success wasn’t guaranteed” says the singer-songwriter. “The song came to me when I was at Sovereign Hill, a historical gold-fields site and replica of a gold-rush town - imagining what it would have been like to be a miner from the other side of the world, in a harsh landscape with growing unrest, big corporations and regulations moving in with increasing corruption…what it would have been like to keep on digging, being independent and free.”

Clayton has a chat to Melanie Dyer  about her new song - If She Only Knew “‘If She Only Knew’ is like sitting on the front porch beside my younger self and holding her hand,” Melanie shares. “I started playing guitar and writing songs when I was 12 years old. 20 years on, this song is my way of reaching back to that little girl - the big dreamer and reassuring her that she has the strength she needs to follow her dreams and do great things, even when she doubts it most.”

Clayton talks to Max Jackson about her new single - Shotgun Slide.Written by Max, she describes this track, “This song is so much fun!!! I actually wrote it all on my own one day when we had just arrived home from a massive tour weekend and I think having a bit of that crazy happy, crazy exhausted energy put my brain into this little pocket of quirk.   It’s really just about that very beginning, spark of love where you wanna get a little closer!”

Clayton talks to David, from Two Tone Pony about their new song - Don't You Ever Wonder Why.“I can’t really say where this song came from. I was strumming a few chords one night walking around downstairs in my house when I started singing the lines - keep the fire burning Molly, keep your lantern lit tonight,” David shares. “And I got a really strong vision in my head of a Celtic woman in an Irish valley on a farm (and no - I never had a girlfriend called Molly). The story just tumbled out after that. I had a real sense of a man yearning to be back with her, but he didn't know how.”

Clayton chats to Liam Maihi  about his upcoming show at Deni Ute muster  and his song - Toughest Man.“I like the rowdy crowds. The kind to pop a boot off and use it as a drinking vessel, The kind that knows dark liquor isn’t justfor the end of the night, the kind that are midnight made. That’s exactly who I am at someone else’s show, the loose unit inthe front row yelling out for my favourite song. So if that’s you, you will enjoy the show!”

Clayton catches up with Dan Davidson to chat about his new song - Making MemoriesIt’s so easy to get caught up in those “to do” lists…the emails…the mundane duties of life…we all have them.

The result is a timeless crossover release with broad, lasting appeal.

Clayton has a chat with Lucie Tiger  about her latest song - Oh Preacher Tiger says, “‘Oh Preacher’ doesn’t take itself too seriously - it’s a little chaotic and very much about the kind of trouble you probably shouldn’t go back to but do anyway…I’ve always loved those small-town stories where someone’s trying to move on and be better, but their past has other plans. ‘Oh Preacher’ felt like the perfect way to play with that idea - pulling someone right back into the chaos they thought they’d left behind.”
