KaBERTRAM!!! ...it's all about the music.
Welcome to KaBertram!!! - an explosion of sound, motion, entertainment, and talented people from all around the world, all making music together. And if KaBertram! was a hurricane, then Ray Bertram would be the eye at the center of the storm. Ray, a life-long "compulsive writer," started writing at a very age and he's never stopped. When Ray turned his writing in the direction of lyrics in 2008, things really started hopping. Working together with good friend and partner, musician/song-writer/producer and creative genius John Surbaugh, Ray co-founded BCC Global: The Back Country Connection, which made it possible for him to take his writing and cover the world with it. Ray has now seen his writing produced into songs in the United States (Tennessee, California, Ohio, North Caroline, Georgia), Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and beyond. In 2010, Ray and another one of his frequent partners, Swedish singer/musician/song-writer/producer Anders Larson, were signed by the prominent Swedish promotional house, Hit Works, and in the time since numerous of their songs have been placed under contract and aggressively marketed all around the world. And, to date, Ray's writing has been produced into songs covering many genres, including Pop, Euro-Pop, Folk-Rock, Country, Rock-a-billy, Adult Contemporary, Jass/Swwing, Rap, and more. Ray continues to write and to continually direct his creative energies onward and upward, always striving to reach higher and to move in new directions.

Story behind the song
This is another song that Charlie and I never actually got around to finnishing...but it's too much fun not to include so listen to the snippet and see what you think. This is one of those songs that I would really enjoy seeing finished, so please feel free to contact me through the site here if you would like to work on it.
Lyrics
what did we expect Intro: We stand alone in a wasteland Of broken dreams A hundred thousand tortured souls Silently scream Verse 1: The winds of change are blowing So strong today Everything we have known Is blowing away Yesterday is lost Today’s a wreck I sit here and I wonder What did we expect Pre-Chorus: Nothing is right…nothing is wrong When we make it up As we go along Chorus: We stand alone in a wasteland Of broken dreams A hundred thousand tortured souls Silently scream Have we lost tomorrow What happened to today Will the winds of change ever Blow back this way And we all want to know why Ev’rything’s a wreck I sit here and I wonder What did we expect Verse 2: Progress has brought us here What will save us now Is anyone still standing To show us how What happened to the world We grew up to believe Where are the heroes That we need Pre-Chorus: Nothing is right…nothing is wrong When we make it up As we go along Chorus: We stand alone in a wasteland Of broken dreams A hundred thousand tortured souls Silently scream Have we lost tomorrow What happened to today Will the winds of change ever Blow back this way And we all want to know why Ev’rything’s a wreck I sit here and I wonder What did we expect “what did we expect” (c) 2008 W. Ray Bertram, Charlie Hamilton
