"And I was thinking about how I would build this home and this life and, and not look at, you know, having a family or, and the struggles that come with it as a negative. But as a, this is the big life" - Johnny Took

One third of DMAs, Johnny Took, was the first artist we recorded.

His song is a reflection on perspective, maturity and priority. What's important in the grand scheme of life.

Sitting at Alex's house he traces the lyrics back to his time in Scotland, driving on Hoddle Street in Melbourne and his relationship with fellow artist Hayley Mary.

This is a rare opportunity to hear one of DMAs songwriters singing.

It's a Gibson J45 Vintage Sunburst, a model nicknamed "The Workhorse".
