However, the track in question may never have been written, had the Kiama singer-songwriter not been running late one day.

The video for Perfect Life For Me was posted online on Friday. 

‘‘I’m really happy with it, just because it’s a song I wrote in one day,’’ Emmett, 18, said.

‘‘I wrote it in about an hour, when I missed the train at Sydney.

‘‘It’s a narrative story, more so in that Americana genre.

‘‘I just sat down with a coffee, had an idea and thought about writing it.’’

The accompanying lyric video takes to the skies, flying about 300 feet in the air.

The video was recently shot with assistance from Kiama photographer Rudi Vavra. 

Vavra said he had extensive experience making time-lapse videos, including one of the rare Aurora Australis captured in Kiama Heights, which quickly went viral.

The music video takes in landmarks such as the lighthouse and headland. 

‘‘I do have a few toy drones, and I had another drone, and we came up with the idea that we could do some aerial footage,’’ Vavra said.

‘‘Unfortunately the one we did for him I couldn’t do with the drones that I had, but a friend of mine had the right thing and he flew it.

‘‘We came up with the idea of just doing a very simple, one take, one scene video that ... It’s basically just aerial footage looking almost straight down until it zooms in, all the way out to shore.

‘‘It turned out a lot better than we hoped; we had the perfect morning for it, just had the perfect light.’’

Emmett said the song was ‘‘a reflection of all these different places, what is the perfect life?’’

‘‘The last verse ties it up to say that I’ve got a brick house, five minutes from a sandy beach ... It is very much about Kiama, so that’s why I thought it (the video) would be a really cool thing to do.

‘‘Other people have a hard time trying to get some landscapes in a music video, but we only have to drive down the road.’’

First picking up a guitar at about 10, Emmett has been writing songs since his early teens. 

At just 14, Emmett was cast on national television for the revival of Young Talent Time.

 Emmett also plays harmonica and dabbles with the piano. 

His influences span jazz, folk, country and bluegrass, and he has performed at events  such as  the Kiama Jazz and Blues Festival. 

He is currently undertaking his HSC at Kiama High.

‘‘I’m definitely going to be doing it (music) as a career,’’ he said.

‘‘I’ve got auditions at places like JMC (Academy) and AIM, and I’m definitely going to consider those, but I might just take a year to have a good think about my own music, do a lot of writing, some shows.’’
