Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'

He said, "Red meant run, numbers add up to nothin'"

When the first shot hit the docks, I saw it comin'

Raised my rifle to my eye, never stopped to wonder why

Then I saw black, and my face splashed in the sky

Thanks for the tag @stormbeyondreality!!

So, once again, I have done very little writing, but have been working away at some of my music stuff! I think I might have shared a snippet of this before, but I can't remember, so I'm sharing it again. Anyways, found this old WIP in my files, and figured I should give it some of the love it deserves. It's a lofi remix of "My Happiness" by Powderfinger. I need to do the pre-chorus and chorus at least, but here's what I have so far!

"Most played" surprisingly low considering how much more time I spent on Spotify this year (I have been extremely unemployed). In 2023 I only had like 14k mins, then 47k in 2024. At least my top song isn't Africa by Toto this year.

“Such a Lovely and Inspiring Man:” Midnight Oil Co-founder, Drummer Rob Hirst Dies at 70

Rob Hirst, the Midnight Oil co-founder, drummer and songwriter, has died at 70, his former bandmates said.

“We are shattered and grieving the loss of our brother Rob,” the surviving Oils said Jan. 20 on social media. “For now, there are no words, but there will always be songs.”

Hirst had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after the 2022 conclusion of Midnight Oil’s farewell tour.

“You left this world a far better place than the way you found it,” the Hoodoo Gurus wrote on social media. “Your creativity, passion and joy has left its mark on all of us, and the strength of your spirit will be an inspiration forever.”

Hirst, who co-wrote such songs as “Beds are Burning,” “The Dead Heart” and “Short Memory,” was a mainstay from the group’s 1976 founding and played on all 13 Midnight Oil LPs released between 1978 and 2022. When the band was on hiatus, Hirst played with Ghostwriters, Backsliders and other bands.

Powderfinger’s Ian Haug credited Hirst with inspiring the group’s founding and thanked him for the “time and advice” he provided.

“R.I.P., Rob Hirst,” Haug wrote on social media. “What an absolute beast of a drummer, songwriter and character.

“Such a lovely and inspiring man.”
