The Smith Street Band - Don't Fuck With Our Dreams

This video was edited/created by our best friend Andy Johnson. He shot all of the footage himself between September and December 2013 while we were on tour in lots of different parts of the world. Thank you to Andy and all the people who appear in this clip (and plenty who don't!) for helping to make our dreams come true!

[@markbroughton8079]

Well that's how u do it

[@MissFunkuh]

Can anyone tell me what's the song about? I can't really figure it out from the lyrics

[@harrisonmoody4982]

okay, so basically, smith street were playing a gig in Byron bay at the start of 2013, and some drunk asshole showed up and was just trying to cause trouble, starting fights, assaulting people, being an all-round asshole. They told him multiple times to settle down and stop being so violent, eventually after this happened a couple of times, the support act's guitarist from 'the bennies' (amazing band, check them out!) named jules, also affectionately called king jules tried to stop him, the asshole retaliated and broke a bottle of whiskey over jules' head and then stabbed him in the arm with the bottle. this of course caused a whole lot of commotion, but while all this was happening, king jules screamed to the asshole 'don't fuck with our dreams'. Jules fully recovered, and still plays in the bennies. this was a huge time for the smith street band, because they didn't want to be in a band if their friends were getting hurt, so they were thinking about breaking up, they decided against it, but they wrote this song about the incident. This songs about being in the band and living on the road and living out their dreams.

[@AidansVlog]

Harrison Moody wow, thanks for sharing that, i love the bennies and hadn't heard the story, at least that incident gave them one of their best songs to date

[@geringas0110]
