Emily Barker - Behind the scenes of the making of 'Wild to be Sharing This Moment' music video @EmilyBarker

Uploaded March 2024 | Updated September 2026, 13 hours ago

Back in October, twenty five 14-16 year-old girls volunteered their time to be in the music video for my latest single, Wild to be Sharing This Moment.

They each brought so much willing, vulnerability, openness, and courage. I was incredibly moved by the experience. Some of them knew each other through school, but in general they were strangers all living in Newcastle, NSW, who had responded to a social media callout by the creative agency, Headjam Creative.

On any video shoot, there’s a whole load of waiting around. I wondered if they’d all be on their phones, if they’d get bored – it was set to be a long day with an early 8am start.

What unfolded was something I had not expected...
You can see the full 'Behind the Scenes' video on my @youtube page, this is the short.

Id had the idea that the video should simply be me sitting on a chair out in a field singing the song. On the day before filming the video, life once again - and this time quite literally - came breaking in; I was knocked off my bicycle in a hit-and-run incident, which left me with a fractured tibia. The filming plans were put on hold. Once I was able to hobble around in a moon boot, with a crutch, the video became about the struggle through real physical pain to carry that chair up a hill to a place where I end up sitting, looking out into the sun. Filmed and edited by Robin Bottrell Recorded at The Wool Hall with producer Luke Potashnick I can fall, face up I won’t kick, I won’t buck I can sit in the pain It still rhymes well with rain To be clear, you are gone Got the crossword wrong Red pen, red pen Thought we’d pull through I’m a backseat driver, I can’t stop you Throwin’ eight years, three months out the window White geraniums that won’t get watered It’s a lot to let go of I won’t call anymore About the crack in the wall About the bread that I burnt Or the rush hour to work There’s a note that I found In a book on the ground And it read as if we would pull through I’m a backseat driver, I can’t stop you Throwin’ eight years, three months out the window White geraniums that won’t get watered It’s a lot to let go of A lot to let go of White geraniums that won’t get watered It’s a lot to let go of A lot to let go of I can fall, face up I won’t kick, I won’t buck I can sit in the pain It still rhymes well with rain #indiefolk$
