00:00 So bartender, pour us another
00:03 The band's back together
00:05 This fool's been waiting here for you
00:09 Now sitting here with a cold beer and an old friend
00:13 It's a good thing, some things never change
00:16 The song's all about coming back to a small pub
00:20 and you haven't been back to it in 10 years
00:22 and reconnecting with a bunch of old friends
00:24 and I thought, if I'm gonna film a music video
00:26 I'm gonna come back to my old stomping ground
00:28 and shoot it right here
00:29 We're here to have a beer with James
00:31 to celebrate his new song
00:32 We can't wait to hear it
00:34 It's great to support local people
00:36 and he's down to earth back in his hometown
00:38 Here's to James
00:40 Yep
00:40 We're down here supporting James
00:42 Woohoo!
00:43 This was my Friday night, pretty much
00:45 You know, growing up
00:46 and I was either sneaking through the back door
00:48 to try and jump up and play a gig
00:49 or, you know, trying to sneak a beer
00:51 So it's just good to be here
00:53 James Johnson
00:56 Yeah, but what song do you always sing in the car?
00:58 Green Green Grass
00:59 No
00:59 Well, this single is with a duo called Zach and George
01:04 and it's just been this crazy 24 hours
01:07 I met them at the airport this morning
01:09 Surprised them, asked them to be on my song
01:11 Pretty much, we've been in the studio all day
01:13 We've driven them, driven down from Sydney
01:15 and now we're here
01:16 and it's just been this whirlwind
01:18 and tonight we're gonna shoot the music video
01:19 James Johnson, woo!
01:21 Do you like James Johnson?
01:24 Yes
01:25 And are you gonna see him today?
01:27 Yes
01:28 Yeah, we wrote it in Nashville about a month ago
01:32 and I just didn't tell them that I was gonna have him on the song until this morning
01:36 A big day today
01:37 Great to see James back in our hometown
01:40 where he grew up
01:41 and the song Raised Like That originated from
01:44 Shona's come back home as well
01:47 and left her four kids to see her little bro
01:50 and yeah, it's really exciting
01:52 and we know so many faces
01:53 and we're just, yeah, we're really excited
01:56 We're loving it
01:57 This is our old stomping ground
01:59 so to be back in our hometown with all of the local support is awesome
02:02 and yeah, it'll be a good night
02:04 We've got the song pretty much finished
02:06 This is the first mix come back
02:07 so that's what you'll be listening to today
02:08 but we feel like we've kind of finished it
02:11 but we're just gonna sing along to the chorus a few times
02:14 just hang out, we'll bring the energy
02:15 and just, you can talk, you can hang out, you can drink
02:18 you can do whatever you want
02:19 If you wanna learn the song, learn the song
02:21 But yeah, it's a pretty casual old thing today
02:25 so we'll just figure it out as we go
02:26 but thanks for being here
02:28 There's a band playing tonight called Circus Mule
02:31 and they were actually made up of the people
02:34 that got me into music when I was four years old
02:36 and that just happened to work out that they're playing tonight
02:40 so it feels like a full circle moment
02:42 that I'm here shooting the music video
02:44 Watching James Jones
02:46 What's his name?
02:48 James Jones
02:50 So I live up in Queensland at the moment
02:53 I've been up there for a few years
02:55 but I still call Wing a Bone to be honest
02:57 Doesn't matter where I go, I still call this place home
02:59 So yeah, I'm here at the moment, I'm shooting the music video
03:02 and I'm just hanging out with the people that I know
