Track 5: The Brightest Star
You probably all know the story to this song already. I got asked to write a song for my friend Taron Cochrane's wedding. I said I would, and months later (2 weeks before the wedding) the song idea came to me, which ended up becoming 'the brightest star'. It was one of those tracks that just came together really quickly, with the help of some lyrics from Taron. I remember being in the shower when the drum beat idea popped into my head haha. I had to jump out and run into my studio and start copying and pasting drum samples around to create the beat. This is back in the day when I didn't have any drum samplers, just raw one shot samples of Rupert Hill-Hayr's drum kit from when The Rabble would record.

I don't think the song would have done half as well if it wasn't for Ashley Page believing in it so much and haggling the radio stations and TV channels to play it. Cheers dude!

Ivan Slavov created the great video, featuring my good friends Rowan James Crowe on bass and Scott Lamb on the kit.

The random BMX bikers just happened to pop along as we were filming the video and did some epic tricks around us as we played.
