Long Way ‘Round – Luke O’Shea & Ashleigh Dallas

Long Way ‘Round – Duet – Luke O’Shea & Ashleigh Dallas
Single from Luke O’Shea’s album; There In The Ochre
Directed by; Luke O’Shea & Jay Seeney of Blacklist Productions.
Filmed by; Jay Seeney of Blacklist Productions.
“Long Way ‘Round’ is a positive, upbeat ‘Motown meets Country’ duet between multiple Golden Guitar winners Luke O’Shea & Ashleigh Dallas – hooking the listener in with a catchy whistle and a carefree vibe.
Showcasing the stunning surrounds of Nundle (The DAG Sheepstation) & Tamworth in NSW, Australia, ‘Long Way ‘Round’ is just a reminder to all listeners out there – to “take a deep breath – & have a good look around!”
“The world is a crazy place at the moment!” Luke says, “But when you just change your focus and just appreciate what you have – in the right here, right now – then all of a sudden, life becomes pretty good!”

Right Now Station

Right Now Station

Well! …firstly I sincerely apologise for dropping out for a while!

With everyone’s worlds being seriously affected by COVID19 – I personally had to get my head and my heart back onto the Right Train of Thought – & it’s not been easy! BUT – I do truly believe we are ALL the Station Masters at our own Right Now Stations – and only WE decide which train we allow to STOP or just PASS ON BY …Hate, Anger, Fear, Surprise, Contempt, Disgust or Happiness.

Me – well I am hanging out for the LOVE Train – The PEACE Train – where the destination is APPRECIATION – for the Right here baby Right Now!

I sincerely hope you enjoy my latest single from my new album There In The Ochre – and that – like me – you can use it’s message as a modern day mantra! 🙂

Stay safe!
Luke
