Danesh wrote "Rushes" when he was 16 years old. He originally wrote the lyrics on the back of a bus ticket. It is about a girl who got on the same bus as him, but he could not pluck up the courage to speak to her.

Video

The video for "Rushes" was shot in Los Angeles and is about adrenalin rushes. [Top Billing.co.za interview 24 January 2003]

Darius arrives at his home on a motorbike. He then goes up to his apartment and arranges to meet his band members for a gig later that day.

He gets ready for the gig and then goes out to meet his band members by his car. The band members shown in the video were Darius' band members at that time, namely, Karl Brazil, Deeral, and Greg Haley.

They travel to the gig, speeding through a tunnel, but are then held up by traffic, eventually coming to a standstill. To get to the gig on time they decide to get out of their car and walk the rest of the way.

The band and Darius then perform the gig in front of an audience.
