    WHO'S BRETT?

    A HEY DAWN / WHEN I DIE SPECIAL with FANNY LUMSDEN. “This song has a muse.” So states Fanny Lumsden as she recounts the incredible story behind WHEN I DIE, and the inspiration for its lyrics. The muse in question is a big, bearded lumberjack and bushy called Brett. This song is about his meticulously planned celebration for his own wake, which involves a hillside with an 'awesome view' (as he calls it), a bonfire of an old truck, live music from Fanny to serenade him out of this world - and his ashes getting shot out of shotguns (BYO) during golden hour! Fanny explains, “Brett bailed me up at the pub one day to ask me how much I would charge to perform at his wake. I nominated an outrageous fee and a down payment of a cow and 2 loads of wood. He rocked up a few months later with the first load of wood and let’s just say it has taken off since then! The song is really about sticking to your guns and being true to who you are both in life and in death. I wrote it sitting around a campfire on my own on the Nullarbor Plain. This episode is an excerpt from Fanny's DEEP IN THE FALLOW series and features an interview with BRETT and Fanny's co-host Andrew Gott from Tracks of our Queers fame.

    Episode 2. This Too Shall Pass

    Welcome to Episode 2 of Deep in the Fallow. Today we explore 'This Too Shall Pass' which was a bit of a tone-setter for the album when it was released as a double single with 'Mountain Song' back in February 2020. The song is inspired by the passing of time, and we’ve interviewed two people with very different perspectives on this concept. Both are from my local community in the Upper Murray region, which is located on the western side of the Snowy Mountains on the border of NSW and Victoria.
