My sister is the girl "rapping" after the lad at the start (very proud of her) and the song is about their daily lives growing up in a country place. They can't believe the reaction it has gotten already and the fact they threw in some local characters names is adding to the banter locally. Also a line about doing every day things but still something bothering you is great and it gives you a sense of the way things are looked at out in the country, the line is: "it could be eatin' you up while you're feedin' the calves, remember a problem shared is a problem halved" Simple but effective.

They are deligted with nearly 2,000 views in one day so hopefully you enjoy it and get a little laugh out of it like I did. Simple things can be the most inspirational. Enjoy.
