Both clips are directed by Max Miller (Rolling Stone music video director & producer of the year), filmed on a weekend journey through the Mallee - a place close to Jeff's heart.

Produced/Directed by Max Miller - Rolling Stone music video of the year 2014.
Concept: Jeff Tynan, Max Miller
Directing and Editing: Max Miller
Starring: John Teague
Produced: Jeff Tynan, Max Miller
Featuring: Sarah Tynan
THE VIDEO - After searching for reality & dealing with loss in the "Better I Was" clip (also directed by Max Miller), let's rewind back to the turning point where actor John Teague finds a new positive direction on the same journey, leading to a return to self & one's roots for new growth. Also featuring Sarah Tynan.
THE SONG - An earthy roots/folk song documenting a sudden fall back down to earth leading to a moment of resolution & an acceptance of reality. This brings forth personal rejuvenation & a new-found optimism in life & relationships. The highlight is a sweet acoustic guitar riff, with beautiful female harmonies & a dreamy layer of stratocaster in stereo delay.
REVIEW - "Slow Down appears to be a very personal song, but I am sure that the most astute among us will relate to it. Great lyrics and a resounding backing make this a stand-alone track, especially with its ‘false intro and outro’; it is a track full of insight and yet a degree of apprehension." - Tony Bates, 3MDR 97.1FM

LYRICS (written by Jeff Tynan, 2014)
Jeff Tynan - Slow Down (Official Music Video) [sequel to "Better I Was"]
Fallen from the sky, broken on the ground
Was clouded by my vision, now I c comfort in the clouds
Hmm ‘er heart’s so ajar, hear it sing from afar
& the song will change with the seasons
But I’ll always come back 2 ‘er
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
As I learn ta slow down
Was 2 focused ta see, now eyes open in the ocean
Movin’ with the tide, I caught her wave of emotion
Breathe life in my guitar, hear it sing from afar
& the song will change with the seasons
But I’ll always come back 2 ‘er
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
As I learn ta slow down, we can gro-o-ow, oh
Minutes ta hours, colours in flowers
Worry 2 dust, memories ‘ll rust
We’ll b whole now, rejuvenate now
Resonate loud, hmm let it ring out
When I saw I saw her with me
& when she looked she found the real me
Watch him grow now, she said
We’ll b whole now, we can gro-o-ow
If we learn ta slow down
