about
A song about Ralph Steadman, the artist. He lived in my home town of Abergele in his youth, and attended school there before going off to art school in London. Genre: Indie Pop, Retro, Alternative Rock, Psychedelic Pop. The music is influenced by Smile & Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys / Brian Wilson, and is a tribute to both Ralph Steadman AND the late Carl Wilson. The opening chords borrow from Claire De Lune, if you can spot it. It blends Slide Guitar and a delayed pick guitar (the strokes of the artists brush). The song considers how the war and experiences in high school shaped Ralph's fear and hatred of authority, which may in turn have fired his exceptional skill in Art. Here's to you, Ralph Steadman.

lyrics
Here's to you, Ralph Steadman
World War was the trauma that brought renaissance back
Your trail led from Wirral to Wales when they attacked
With life on the edge of a knife creation bloomed
And inside of you, the conflict will always burn
You learned a trade, escaped the dungeon
Joined the swing of post-war London
Took a punch and ended up in New York
Sketching the rich and drawing the poor
Here's to you, Ralph Steadman
To you, Ralph Steadman (3)
We all should tribute
The man who came from our town
Outside, the bullets and bombs and madness reigned
In School a tyrannical master did the same
With fear of authority planted in your soul
You take control of the fire that's in your art
The place was right, and you got lucky
Drew the Derby in Kentucky
Brother Hunter said 'Let's go on a trip'
And what a trip, the life that you lived
Here's to you Ralph Steadman
to you Ralph Steadman (3)
We all should tribute
The man who came from our town
