Josh Pyke wrote this for his young son, who at the time was beginning to grow up and learn to be more independent. It’s about being afraid of knowing one day they must start off and grow on their own adventure without you (hence that part where he’s on a treadmill trying to keep up with the growth on the screen behind him -it flashes to say 9 months- but watching the growth outrun him), but always wanting to be there for them regardless.
Looking forward to Josh coming to the UK , got my ticket :-))) travelled through Aus & NZ listening to his music ; but never got to see him live , finally will - can't wait !
Agree 100% Alex - an awesome song. I actually think Josh Pyke is one of Australia's largely hidden gem and one of the best songwriters/performers we have today. Keep up the good work Josh...!!
Leeward is the direction downwind from the point of reference (as opposed to windward which is upwind) so I guess he means that your leeward side is the part of you that's holding you back and forcing you to look back rather than having your face in the wind / toward the future...
Melle Beemster I don't know if Josh Pyke sails at all, but windward/leeward are obviously hugely important there. Leeward has big implications of being "below" you (wind is like gravity, going downwind is easy, climbing upwind is hard), or in your shadow (there is a 'wind shadow' on the leeward side of your sails where boats passing by lose speed, and also a literal shadow on that side of your boat because your sails are always on the leeward side)

One of the most under-rated songs ever.
+Nur Alwani I agree!
+Nur Alwani I feel like that about most of his songs
i was soo obsessed with this song when i was in high school a few years ago... it’s still a bop

I'm overly obsessed with this song.
***** it stung me about two years ago and I'm still infected haha
This video and this song makes me so happy
This song makes me pumped.
Has to be one of Australia's best-ever songs!!

The dancing tree is my favourite!
Gotta love Pykey!
I can't understand why more people aren't following this guy. This stuff is way better than half the trash you hear on the radio
I came here because of sailing la vagabonde ... god it took me a while...
Yes! Finally... thank you for this song 💛
Josh Pyke, you never cease to amaze me. This is such a good tune!

Josh Pyke, you are going to be big my friend.

I liked your comment even before i'd seen the clip just because i love that scene so much :) Good taste, my friend!
Excellent!
feel good music!
Ahhh fab song
another beautiful melody from my brother from another wolf mother
This is better than the songs you listen in your friends songs
Top job.
Josh finally tranformed to his true form xD
the begging reminds me of coraline
Champion.
It was alright at first but half way through couldn't help but smile.
It reminds me of thr mod wolf scene in the mighty boosh!
Blue eyed beauty!
I want a Harmonica just to play that melody.
mmmm so cool
nuice
So a cross between Mighty Boosh and Dig Dug?
Great song. Reminds me of Gotye, that's a high compliment.

Mighty Boosh influence much?
What's a leeward side?

its a darude-sandstorm
:)
Um, Josh? I think you turned into a wolf. You might want to go and see a doctor about that.
