Life can be snatched from under our feet at any moment. We will live richer lives if we remember just that fact.

Melodic Catalan Rock Band
Pere Flipat were a band playing Melodic Rock in the boom period of Catalan Rock (1987- 1993). We sang in English, Catalan & Spanish. We made an album in 1991 that was moderately succesful, but lack of promotion and direction led to schisms in the band and we split up. However, we are all still very proud of the music we made back then and that is why we want to make it available to a new generation of "Flippies" - as our fans were known. Sadly, a reunion of the original band is now impossible because Tony, our Saxophonist, was killed in a car accident a few years back.

Lyrics
Hollow Ground One too many and the car door slams, The engine starts - drowning the laughter out. Headlights blinding, it's a narrow bend, Squeal of brakes into a juggernaut they ploughed. Another step on hollow ground. Another tread on hollow ground. Nightshift worker on the treadmill rolling, Above the noise he's singing his dreams aloud. Routine movement, but his jersey's caught, Cogs enmesh and then spit his body out. CHORUS Late night party in the town's main square, Singing the year in, ringing the old one out. Midnight tolling, in the sea of faces, The ones at the front get drowned beneath the crowd. Want the ground to open under me, Swallow me whole, swallow me whole. Want the sea to suck me under, Or the sky to fall and let the Devil take my soul. Let the Devil take my soul. Born on hollow ground, Raised on hollow ground, Dreams on hollow ground, Buried in the hollow ground.
