Honestly, we weren’t really familiar with Bill Hicks... maybe just vaguely heard the name. Humor works quite differently here in Italy. So thanks a lot for introducing him to us through this beautiful track! 🫶

you always make classic pop culture feel so fresh. another great one

Really digging this... reminds me of The Wall by Pink Floyd ... I'm not sure why 🤍

You are a nostalgia machine. Excellent job.  Made me go back and listen to some kinison one of his Houston alums.   Anyway perfect 🤩

Love your style 👏 Excellent composition!!!

Really nicely crafted song & great performance

What a pleasant song, a tribute to the comedian - I didn't  know him

Usually, my idea of a song is that it should be based on melody. Well, this time, instead, there's not much melody here and a bit more rhythm than usual. I don't know... I hope you like it. And if not, I'll probably feel completely misunderstood.

ROSIE THE RIVETER (Lyrics) Song for the Rosie Team

a song about Australia my home ……a little piano improv at the end with some bush sounds I recorded and the phenomenal playing of native instruments by the elders..........these are the sounds I remember as a young fella, having just immigrated from Belfast  Northern Ireland during the “troubles”  in 1980,  swapping petrol bombings and the sound  of patrolling army boots for the  song of the lyrebird and the scent of the bush is something I’ve not forgotten ,  so I’ve tried to capture that feeling a bit here……….cheers and peace for listening



sun on the face, warm is the night
red dust underfoot, desert rose growing high
the smell of the eucalypt hangs in the air
corellas in the oak tree, cockatoo doesn't care

it's the land i love the roads i walk
the people i know, the language we talk
i'll never leave i'm never alone
my life is here, this is my home

the afternoon storms blow in from the west
to offer relief 39 in the shade
the sound of distant thunder makes the kookaburra cry
ooh my cooinda, katjeri sky

it's the land i love the roads i walk
the people i know, the language we talk
i'll never leave i'm never alone
my spirit's here, this is my home

it's the land i love the roads i walk
the people i know, the language we talk
i'll never leave i'm never alone
our spirit's here, this is our home

A little song(a bit rough around the edges) about the late great comedian Bill Hicks
It's a musical tribute to his It's Just a Ride monologue, which is on YouTube, and I have spliced it into the song
Bill died of pancreatic cancer only 32 years old in 1994 when he was at the height of his  career.
Memento Mori............................. a reminder for us all to enjoy the ride while we can.............................................                Run Free Bill...We still listen and remember 


Riding With Bill Hicks

It's just a ride, this life, this moment  C A7
It's a Tilt-A-Whirl of the mind             Dm Fm6
So if you please, please take a seat  C A7
Buckle up it's party time                        Dm G
Feel the thrills and chills and colors    F C
Round and round a dizzy trick            Dm Fm
My mind on rewind                               C
Back to ‘89                                            Am
Now I'm riding with Bill Hicks             F G C

Some people get so worried
They can't believe it's just a ride
Big bank accounts and fancy cars
Live to work the sweat and grind
And those war machines must be time machines
They always turn up in the mix
Leave the fear behind
Keep an open mind
Now you're riding with Bill Hicks
                                                      
The profound meets profane            F C
Swift barbs of the dark brigade        Fm C
Fantastic at sarcastic                         F
Homemade hand grenade                C b Am
Unfiltered and unafraid                      Am G

Break

As I sit here tonight and ponder
Growing softer in my Easy chair 
Bill's dream's still a dream for this mean old world
Bombs are dropping everyday out there
Another good one gone before his time
Just like his jogging foe Jim Fixx
Hope they are lighting up a fat one on the other side
Rest in laughter William Hicks

Riding With Bill Hicks

The dream of flying , far from this world, with the beloved one....

There's a heat wave going on in Norway...  I made the music in GarageBand.  Maybe I add some vocal eventually.... :)
Thank you for listening!  🎧😊

Heat Wave (Instrumental-Original)

There’s a treasure down deep in this garbage can
To find it, plug your nose, feel the dirt on your hands
Just remember that they never really understand 
Your personal Rosetta Stone
