I managed to persuade a bank manager to give me a loan to pay the fees.

And I said, oh, I'm going to be on telly next year, so I'll be able to pay you back.

Was that true?

No, not sure.

This is Ernie by Fat Freddy's Drop.

When my daughter was, I think, five months old, we went to New Zealand to make a film.

And the man who picked us up from the airport, a guy called Seamus, has now become a lifelong friend.

And he had recently stopped being the guy who ran the really, really cool record shop in Wellington.

He was now working as a driver and he picked us up with our daughter and says, do you want to go the pretty way?

So yeah, please.

So we drove around the bays in Wellington, which if anybody you've been there, it's an amazing thing.

And he said, oh, we'll just stop off here at the surf club and have a bit of breakfast, which was at this really kind of cool bar place where we had breakfast.

And he said, oh, that guy over there, he's the drummer from Fat Freddy's Drop.

And we're like, what's that?

And then he started playing it to us.

It's kind of New Zealand reggae, kind of all kinds of things rolled into one, but beautiful.

And this really is a song about finding your person.

It's the person who makes you who you are and beautiful.

It makes you make sense.

If you can, go away and listen to the whole thing because it's a long, slow burn that's really ultra cool and then gets to the point where the lyrics are, I'd step out of the rush for you, which is what love is, I guess.
