Dave Bruce gives us some insight into the creative process behind making the ‘Wasting Time’ music video.

July 2025

“I find I am starting to open up more in my songwriting. I tend to hide meanings behind metaphor and quirk and amusing narrative (amusing to me at least!). But I am finding a different kind of satisfaction in vulnerability lately.” 

With Duxie’s bright and breezy vocals, there is little chance of feeling morose listening to “Wasting Time”. The melody glides along, and the harmonies are ever so sweet.

Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Duxie Franklin returns with a fresh dose of vibrant energy in her latest single, Chlorine and today we bring you the very first listen!

“What’s been happening recently?

In my little corner of the time-space continuum, I have been rehearsing lots with my band, recording and producing more new music and brainstorming how to film a music video which is set in a lounge room submerged in a swimming pool. Stay tuned!”

“…the collection of songs featured on 'Watch Your Soul' fuse together a modern-day Kate Bush mashed together with the odd-ball charm of Bjork and the alt-country, Americana musings of Gillian Welch.”

“Franklin’s involvement in the entirety of the creative process, from song to video, makes for such a complete product. It’s so interesting to hear that early recordings of ‘It’s Time’, while great, didn’t really fit the mood that she felt was required for the plans she already had in place for the video, and as such it was re-recorded.”
