"'Middle of the Hill'" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Josh Pyke. It was released in July 2005 as the lead single from Pyke's third extended play, 'Feeding the Wolves' (2005). 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 song was nominated for Most Performed Blues and Roots Work.
