Welcome all to the next edition of Cheney's Pie. Thought I'd get a look in on behalf of the reef to let people in on the poison ladder of greed leading to Dick Cheney who with his poison policy pen gave the leg up for coal seam gas to be void of environmental checks or Scrutinizing.
Why ? 
The money grab that followed at the expense of our water reserves, health of the people and farming land are astounding and and now its invaded our country with dire consequences for the health of the people and the health of our natural wonder in the Great Barrier Reef  as thats how they plan to get it out ! 
Please listen and make this an election issue ! 

Cheney's Poison Slice

A song about the stupidity of testing nuclear weapons in the ocean. A unpunished crime that has seen the oceans poisoned with everlasting repercussions and all in the name of national security ? The stupidity of man at its most evil side and mother nature sure has a reason to be upset. To think how many bombs have been tested in the world to date is shocking and the good people look on in disbelief.
Writen by David Flower and Sacha Bohler with Frank Styler on drums and features David Playing Sitar for the first time on a recording. Recorded by Andrew Higgins.

I LOVE LIFE - CAM MCLEAN, ANDY HIGGINS, MARK HIGGINS (QUIRK)

Last year I was a part of a musical project called Satellite Cities.. As the vocalist for the group, my contribution was to make up melodies & record all vocals with lyrics mainly written by Russ Clark, Mark Ludwig & myself.. then record it over the backing made by Mark Ludwig and various other musos in Melbourne at Triplet Air Studios.
I loved being a part of the project as it took me out of my comfort zone melodically. lyrically & musically so it was a challenge & joy.
  
This is one of the first tracks I recorded vocals in Melbourne. 
It is written by Russ about the anticipation & joy of his new child being born.

I Found You

Everyone is an idiot
Nobody got the faintest clue
What to make of this world we’re in
And what it means to me and you

There’s folks that got opinions 
Wear ‘em on their shirtsleeves
Can’t make hide nor hair of it all
No end to what folk believes
 
I got to find a way back home 
To the place where I belong
To the place where I can sing my own damn  song

  
But everyone is an idiot
Seems obvious to me
When er I feel forsaken 
I drop down and take a knee

Pray to some  kind of God above
As if she’s listening in
Space must be a vacuum babe 
Cos I can’t ever get a word in

 I got to find way back home
To the place where I belong
To the place where I can sing my own damn song 


Who am I to judge well I ain’t no one
The truth ain’t out there babe
It’s here with us
I’m just trying to find a way
To keep us alive
On the heels of the darkest hour
That’s when the sun arrive    
 
Everyone is an idiot
So my momma used to say
I thought she was just being mean 
But now I see it the same way
 
I pray to the folks who left me here
On this tiny pale blue dot
Please come back, I’m already packed
I sure hope you remember the spot

Everyone Is An Idiot

David Flower is an Australian musician with progressive roots, blues and reggae influences well known for his entertaining and individual style of songwriting and performing. His shows bed down on the warm foundation of acoustic guitar with harmonica hooks and foot stomp. Much of the appeal comes from his most excitable voice and witty lyrics, drawing crowds in with spontaneous, honest and humorous banter. Relishing the stage, he delivers in soulful style -a reflection of life where he resides on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. David's songwriting stimulates the listener, while filling dance floors with catchy rhythm and groove, lively zest and passion.
