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

We had just finished the primary Adult Contemporary version of this song when somebody jokingly said, "Hey - I bet that would make for a good Punk Rock song."  My good friend, California-based singer/songwriter/musician/producer that that the idea sounded like so much fun that he had the Punk version completed just a few days later lol  And it's turned out to probably be the most popular version of the song...you just never know what you're going to find around the next corner.

Lyrics

Verse 1: 
He gets up ev’ry morning 
Ev’ry ordinary day 
He gets ready, goes to work 
In an ordinary way 
What he likes is normal 
What he does, routine 
He lives out 
His ordinary dream 

Chorus: 
Ordinary man 
He does the best he can 
Ev’ry ordinary day 
Ev’ry ordinary night 
Of his very very 
Ordinary life 
He’s hard to hold back 
...Hard to understand 
Because he’s 
An ordinary man 

Verse 2: 
The whole world just spins and spins 
So completely unaware 
Of this ordinary man 
With his ordinary cares 
But it don’t bother him 
He don’t even know 
That’s the way 
That ordinary goes 

Chorus: 
Ordinary man 
He does the best he can 
Ev’ry ordinary day 
Ev’ry ordinary night 
Of his very very 
Ordinary life 
He’s hard to hold back 
...Hard to understand 
Because he’s 
An ordinary man 

Bridge: 
We chase after… 
...We race after… 
...The extraordinary 
When there’s treasure 
Beyond measure 
In the ordinary 

Chorus: 
Ordinary man 
He does the best he can 
Ev’ry ordinary day 
Ev’ry ordinary night 
Of his very very 
Ordinary life 
He’s hard to hold back 
...Hard to understand 
Because he’s 
An ordinary man
