The Emily James Trio

Trying To Rule is our second release off our latest album. Initally inspired by the ongoing disgrace that is the Ausnet Towers in Victoria, detroying livelihoods and tearing up prime farmland, it grew into a song for the hard working country folk of Australia who are tired of never ending rules and regulations being imposed on them, made by those who have never lived a day in their lives.

A song essentially written about our frustrations watching this country go down the drain. "We're united, we're one nation, we don't want your globalisation, your hidden agendas we can see, don't try and change the lucky country" Thank you to all those who contributed their footage of this beautiful country to help put this video together.

A song written to highlight some of the ridiculous things going on in the world today. "Has the whole world gone crazy? Have we finally lost our way? Am I all alone am I the only one, who can see the writing clear as day?

A song written about the overused and repetitive nature of welcome to country ceremonies and acknowledgments in this country. "Don't welcome to my own country, I've been welcome all along. And I don't need a ceremony to tell me I belong"
