The song has become a "fan-favourite" and was polled at number 19 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2005. Pyke said "The writing of 'Middle of the Hill' was one of those times that I've read about; it's called 'the flow', you know, where you're in this state of creativity where you're not really aware of what you're doing, very stream-of-consciousness. That song, I literally wrote it in about as long as it takes to sing it. I had the riff and I was playing it, and I just kind of opened my mouth and all this stuff poured out. I think it was partly because I'd moved back home at that point, so I was reflecting on family and what it means to be part of a family and living in a family." At the APRA Music Awards of 2007 The Australasian Performing Right Association Awards of 2007 (generally known as A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chimney's Afire
''Chimney's Afire'' is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke. It was released in October 2008 and peaked at number 3 on the ARIA Charts and was certified gold. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2009, the album was nominated for two awards, winning ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album. Reception ''AllMusic'' said "''Chimney's Afire'' is ironically anything but afire, with decidedly safe music throughout. Pyke doesn't quite sound like anyone else, to his credit, but the music is strangely familiar and formulaic at the same time. There's a careful composition skill at work in the creation of these pieces, that makes ballads and pop ditties with equal aplomb and yet refuses to stand out at all from the other songs, or from other music on the market. Just a couple of tracks hold any reasonable energy – 'Make You Happy' which holds a bit of mid-'90s American contemporary rock to it, and 'You Don't Scare Me' which starts out with a thumping Ramones-style ...
