Song Information

Hang on for the ride of your life! “Merry-Go-Round Midnight Meet” is a fast-moving, thumping country-rock track that demands attention — taking you straight back to those teenage years when decisions were made in a heartbeat, life didn’t stand still and wait, and one impulsive choice could change everything. It's a feel-good, high-energy track that brings attitude, momentum and the perfect crescendo to your playlist. Set around neon-lit carnival rides in the ’80s, when high hair and midriffs were the order, this song is inspired by a true story. It captures that pivotal moment in our youth when decisions collide — newfound freedom becomes a licence to drive, a first job makes life suddenly serious, home becomes a road trip into the unknown, and love can hit you square in the chest when you least expect it. “Merry-Go-Round Midnight Meet” is the 3rd track released from the upcoming album "Summer Glare". The perfect follow-up song to "Too Many Sunsets" & "Like A 70s Day", it's a pivotal track on the album; embodying the central theme – those glaringly obvious life-changing moments that that arrive unexpectedly and can alter the course of our lives in an instant. Produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut on the Central Coast; Hunter Beasley’s guitar work anchors the track; Mitch Farmer’s driving drums steer the thumping bass; Liam Kennedy-Clark’s urgent keyboards echo the dodgem sirens, while Rusty Crook’s anxious, pleading electric-guitar riffs tie it all together with authentic carnival screams that put you right back on the Gravitron! One unforgettable encounter sets a young woman on a ride she never saw coming. Fast, restless and full of attitude, this is one carnival ride you’ll be hanging on for.
