“I wanted to write something that felt authentic, something that captured the essence of growing up in [mention Brad's hometown/region, if known - otherwise, use a general reference like 'rural Australia']” Cox explains. “It’s about those moments of reflection, those quiet conversations under a vast sky. It's about the beauty and the struggles of everyday life, told through the lens of a classic rock song.”
