The making of ‘Ricochet’ video clip:
We flew into Sri Lanka straight into the eye of a heavy monsoon and it kept on pouring! We were invited to Colombo for a run of sold out shows and to make a film clip during our Victory Lion Tour. Having done our fair share of performing and making film clips, we soon realised that in Sri Lanka, things were different, time was altered, air was humid, food was hot and everything was a beautiful mission. Travelling to and from the film shoot with guitars, gear and outfits onboard, without getting lost and wet was an adventure to say the least. Negotiating tuk tuks and speaking the Sri Lankan language was even more of a matter! Filming and performing Ricochet music clip in Sri Lanka in the hot, wet heat, with little understanding of the language was a real challenge for the band, being unacclimatised Tasmanians fresh from cool North West Tassy! We embraced it together! What a wonderful cultural experience!

Song Description:
Ricochet is a tribute to our dear friends Rick Bindon & Anne Ponsonby, who lost their lives during covid. Both our mates were amazing artists, it’s an honour to feature their artwork on Ricochet EP.

I wanted to write a song in memory of my friend, the late Rick Bindon, with whom I shared some unforgettable memories. So it was fitting that Dan, who had lost his close friend Anne, had come up with a really cool hook riff he described as ‘Black Crowes meets Rolling Stones’.
From the moment we heard it, the band loved it! We wrote the song over the phone, exchanging lines and riffs. It wasn't long before Ricochet had taken shape and grown into our epic theme song.

Always a favourite at our live shows, with Shey’s rich, autobiographical vocal, passionately bouncing from one word to the next, and Wayne Rand’s mesmerising licks, bullets on lapsteel, counterpointing across his triumphant execution, hitting hard on Dan Jeffrey’s driving signature bass groove that beckons Leigh Hill to take the impact and rock it hardcore, sticks on skins like shots firing.
The rhythm section laying it down like a trigger switch!
Rock on like a Ricochet!🤘🏽

Ricochet - The Sheyana Band © Lyrics
V1: Remember all living together in 2003
Me and my babies were tryin to find a way to be free
Temporarily rescued from a bad situation
Skipped across a new religion
Travelin' on like a ricochet

V2: Coming down different tracks to a common destination
Brothers & Sisters of the congregation
Three trains pulling into the station
The sun and the moon and the stars in celebration
Ramblin' on like a ricochet

Bridge: Daffodils in the springtime
Songs in the sun
Creativity flowed through everyone
A family was formed under the pines
The kind that stands the test of time

V3: Broke your back just trying to fly
Now you’re hanging from a tree-sit in the sky
Bullets glide on a trigger point
We clocked up some miles,
Rockin' it hardcore with a beer and a joint
Rock on like a ricochet

V4: At the church on the hill we were free and our souls were driven
But the pain lets you know you’re alive, what it means to be living
There was a night when things got hot and the place caught on fire
Burning skin smells like a funeral pyre
Hit hard like a ricochet

Outro: Hey, yeah… like a ricochet …
Rock on, Rock on, like a ricochet
Ricochet, ricochet..
