Wow very honoured to be nominated for @apraamcos song of the year for Edge Of Something, a song I wrote with @antonypartos and @matteozingalesofficial for the @abctv drama Total Control. Writing songs for both seasons of this incredible show over the course of all the lockdowns was such a special experience and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. Especially thankful to Deborah Mailman, the lead actor, whose performances made it so easy to write to, I was constantly blown away by her portrayal of her character and could have written a hundred more songs just exploring her complexity and strength. I’m so proud of this song. Thank you to everyone who voted 
In my 20s I had a complete existential crisis moment where I lost sight of why i was still a songwriter. I’d forgotten what drove me to write in the first place when I was a teenager holed up for days on end excruciatingly pulling these reluctant creatures out of my soul. Surely it’s a selfish pursuit, a naval gazing indulgence that I’d tricked people into wanting from me? So I quit music. I went to uni. I filled my brain with spread sheets and foot notes and big words I thought would impress myself. But it didn’t work. Some child inside me wanted to dance, she just didn’t know how to allow herself to. Years went by without a song, then one day I found myself reluctantly playing a festival in America. And finally, it was there on that stage that I saw it for the first time. The difference I was making. The difference that music makes. There were people in that audience that had been following my entire career and were ecstatic that I was finally out of hiatus. They’d been playing my albums over again like a spirit guide easing them through the grinding sharp, confusing bits of life. They held on to those lyrics like it was one of the few things that understood them and articulated the things they couldn’t. I could hear it in the echo of my words coming back to me, a thousand strange souls carrying my burdens with me, and in doing so transforming them together into triumphs. It was union. It was communion. After that everything changed. The way I saw my “silly” pop music, changed. It was and is, along with every other genre of music, vital as a tool of human connection. The oldest one we’ve ever had, in fact.
Thank you

What a bloody pleasure and privilege to sing with the Wilcannia Central School kids choir, and their fabulous teacher Sarah. I couldn’t think of a better song to collaborate on than Big Kids, for so many reasons. It’s inspired by a kick-arse Indigenous woman (Deborah Mailman’s character in the ABC drama Total Control) who walks into Parliament and shows them who’s boss. And it’s about showing the rest of the world that they should never underestimate you and what you’re capable of. These girl’s did it proud! Loved collaborating with you all ??❤️
I went deeper in this chat than I’ve gone in a long time, and Zan held me there beautifully. Thank you Zan.
