"It feels like the world today is designed to constantly make us fear how much we're missing out on. The places we could be. The people we could be hanging out with. The life-changing experiences we could be having. But the problem with FOMO is it stops us living in the moment and appreciating the beautiful chaos of the here and now. 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

Clayton has a chat to Tate Cole about his new song - Dying Breed 
There’s a particular kind of person who keeps showing up, no matter how tough the season gets.

"I wanted people to read No More Country Songs and think, 'What's he talking about?' Then they realise it's actually a country love song. It's about being so happy you've run out of heartbreak to write about. There's a bit of humour in it, but it's completely genuine."

“Burn” is an anthemic alt-country track that explores the idea that transformation rarely comes without discomfort.

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 fr...

Clayton chats to Hayden Phillis about his new song - Stick Poke Tattoos 

"I pulled up voice memos and while playing saw my friend had been messaging about rather problematic behaviours from a girl he was casually dating and just reading through the story of what was going on with him was enough to spark the song idea.” Over time that idea grew almost on its own. “After that I kept adding to it whenever something new would happen with him or with someone else and eventually those stories came together, and I finally ended up with ‘Stick Poke Ta...

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 fro...

“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. Som...

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.”
