about

‘I’m Not Around’ is the first single from an exciting new collaboration between three-time ARIA Award nominated songwriter, Danny Widdicombe (The Wilson Pickers), and the world renowned powerhouse instrumental trio Trichotomy (Sean Foran, John Parker and Samuel Vincent). ‘I’m Not Around’ is from their forthcoming album ‘Between the Lines’.

‘I’m Not Around’ tackles Danny’s inevitable brush with depression after dealing with the trials and tribulations of living with leukaemia for over 24 years. Fresh from another hip replacement (the complications from leukaemia are seemingly never ending), Danny is back on his feet, armed with his finest solo album to date.

Cam Mackellar, grandson of Dorothea (of ‘I love a sunburnt country’ fame) takes up the story…

“This is Russian humour at its finest. ("Soviet microprocessors are the biggest in the world!") John Parker’s drums swing easy like grass skirts in the Pacific breeze as Sean Foran’s Fender Rhodes, Samuel Vincent’s double bass and Danny’s pedal steel dress up this death wish in a Hawaiian shirt. Danny croons, “The tide washed me away / The river dragged me down / Now it’s better for everyone / If I’m not around” as Kristin Berardi sings with him like a siren to a shipwreck. Through a distant Space Echo I could hear my friend Richard Swift slipping away, asleep in his car...All the angels sing "Que sera sera". Stick around Dan.”

lyrics

I’m Not Around

It started out with the best intentions
Make the world feel good
Celebrating happiness
Just like we should

The tide washed me away
The river dragged me down
Now it’s better for everyone
If I’m not around

I wish I was a charm
So full of luck
But all I ever do is harm
The people I love

There’s no cure or philosophy
That can be found
It’s just better for everyone
If I’m not around

Sorry if I lost my way
I didn’t wanna let you down
The evil in my heart outweighs
Any good that can be found

Think of all the money spent
Making me well
It’s just no argument
I’m a living hell

It doesn’t matter where I turn
Coming up or down
It’s better for everyone
If I’m not around

I’m not around.
