The official music video for Lee Kernaghan’s 'Flying With The King', his tribute to Slim Dusty from the album 'Beautiful Noise'.
Album out through ABC Music/Universal Music Australia: ABCMusic.lnk.to/_pi3SYD
Video produced by Filmery.
The music video for 'Flying With The King' was created by highly acclaimed Director Duncan Toombs and features Lee on piano, 12 year old Flethcer Pillon (who plays a young Lee), and rare archival footage from the original Slim Dusty movie. Lee said, "It was back in the late nineties. I was booked to fly from Sydney to Perth to play a Festival in Mandurah WA the next day. I boarded the flight and as I got to my seat I realised I would be sitting next to the King of Country, Slim Dusty. For the next 5 or 6 hours we flew across Australia together. The memories of that flight will stay with me forever and now they've been turned into a song on the Beautiful Noise album." When I saw Duncan's edit of the video it brought back a lot of emotion to the surface and I think a lot of people will feel that way when they see the video. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of Slim. Through the life he lived and the music he made, Slim became a part of the fabric of our society.In so many ways he was Australia," says Lee Kernaghan.

FLYING WITH THE KING LYRICS:
It was Ansett 603
He sits down next to me
We were flyin' out across the Great Divide
Bound for WA
He shook my hand and said g'day
There I was, Slim Dusty by my side
I was flyin' with the king
Ridin' on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king
Was Trumby ridin' slow
30,000 feet below
Way down there round a fire of gidgee coal
The desert stretchin' on
Home to countless Dusty songs
He was the man who walked a country mile
I was flyin' with the king
Ridin' on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king
Before I knew the wheels touched down
He smiled and said "I'll see you round"
There was so much more to say but he was gone
An' now he's gone
I was flyin' with the king
Ridin' on the wind
A small town boy from nowhere
My head up in the clouds
All the times I heard him play
And here I was today
I was flyin', I was flyin' with the king
