In 2012 I did a crowd funding campaign to make my new album "The Girl Who Cried Wolf". I was incredibly lucky to have such amazing supporters and thankfully the campaign reached its target successfully!
One of my supporters was "Spencer Hoadly" from UK. He pledged some money in return for my album and also to appear in a music video for one of my songs. Well...once you meet the character that is Spenny you sort of realise he is the star in the making ....so it made total sense that he would be the star of the music video for New Things, not just make an appearance....
I wrote a video treatment that I thought fitted the song and Spenny perfectly. He managed to get his friend Kyle Chase on board to film in the UK and with video files flying back and fourth from there to Sydney I managed to edit together the video.
We love it! We love the story behind it! Hope you do to :)
Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for creating art with me...Shelley xxx

New things

Well i've seen a thousand pedestrians
drowning on nothing
and on the corner at the local
just regulars, they're regular
waiting for something, something
to appear miracously
waiting for someone
to change them to love them

But if you notice now
it's not too late for new things
if you listen out loud
you can reach inside for new things
If you blow away this cloud
you will find new things
If you open your eyes
Just open your heart to new things

There in the car park or walking or shopping
theres a glare in the eye of robotic beings
theres more life in the ocean or the garden
or machines in factories
where you'd see a spark

But if you notice now
it's not too late for new things
if you listen out loud
you can reach inside for new things
If you blow away this cloud
you will find new things
If you open your eyes
Just open your heart to new things

You'll fly like a bird
