PREMIERE: James Kenyon - The Motorbike Song

Having premiered his single last month, now theMusic.com.au has the exclusive premiere of troubadour James Kenyon's video for The Motorbike Song to show you, a beautifully shot journey through the Victorian countryside.

Filmed on one day using three vehicle-mounted cameras, the song and video is "a story of grief, loss and a journey unresolved". As Kenyon told us last month, "The song is based on a trip I took on a busted-arse Honda 400 from Melbourne to Adelaide and then up to Queensland. Bits of the bike fell off along the way. I relied on the generosity of country mechanics more than once. I slept on a swag under the stars. All that business. All good fodder for a song."

Hailing from Kenyon's upcoming Imagine You're Driving, spend the next four-and-a-half minutes being stunned by the gorgeous drone shots of the industrialism of Melbourne's Yarraville, as it turns into the wonderful greenery and long roads of regional Victoria.
