oldrottenhead the bunkbeds from clydebank scotland bedroom band influenced by the flaming lips and pixies
the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players. home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band. everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment. the ultimate bedroom band. of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.

Story behind the song
was saddened to hear of chris sievey's (frank sidebottom) passing. he used to send me encouraging messages via myspace regarding my songs, he particularly liked when i sang about looking up at the stars. so messing on my juno di i came up with this in dedication to him. whilst working on the song i also found out that an old work colleague willie clark had passed away too, so that influenced the lyric too. hope its not too maudlin but uplifting.
Lyrics
hey look at that big sky it's as far as we can see and will you step up to the plate and face what's coming your way with your head held high with your head held high hey look at that big sky don't it make you feel small just remember everyone you've touched and loved will have a memory of you when you stepped up to the plate and faced what came your way with your head held high with your head held high you made a difference you left your mark with your head held high hey look at that big sky it's as far as we can see but i will always rememember i will always remember dedicated to chris sievey and willie clark R.I.P.

Solemn and spiritually uplifting. It seems you aren't intimidated by any genre. This is beautiful and the emotions come through wonderfully.
