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.
