Abstract "And it's nice because that's an old story. I wrote that song about moving from the UK to Australia and taking on my dreams and not being worried about everything I was scared of. The song is about going off and discovering the world for yourself and taking on everything. Looking back now, that's exactly what I've done, but now I can sing it for another purpose, which makes it interesting. It's like an anthem now rather than just my story." "And I got to come to Australia. How awesome is that? A lot of my friends are going travelling at the moment -- I'm 22, so I'm that age. But I got to move to Australia and sleep in a nice place rather than some backpackers' shack."
