Several songs from 'Equal Strain On All Parts' can be heard now, including one co-written by Mobile native Will Kimbrough.
. His passing makes “Bubbles Up” that much more poignant: The title is taken from a SCUBA-diving term that reminds novice divers how to reorient themselves when they’ve lost their equilibrium and their bearings:
“Bubbles up/ They will point you toward home/ no matter how deep or how far you roam/ They will show you the surface/ the plot and the purpose/ So, when the journey gets long/ Just know that you are loved/ there is light up above/ And the joy is always enough/ Bubbles up.” The song was co-written by Will Kimbrough, a Mobile native who has regularly collaborated with Buffett in the studio and on stage over the last 15 years or so. McCartney was among the first to single it out in the wake of Buffett’s passing, saying it was both a great song and his favorite vocal performance ever by Buffett.
“He turned a diving phrase that is used to train people underwater into a metaphor for life when you’re confused and don’t know where you are just follow the bubbles -- they’ll take you up to the surface and straighten you out right away,”
