Buffett recorded “Bubbles Up,” which will appear on the upcoming Equal Strain on All Parts, shortly before his death
Equal Strain on All Parts
, due Nov. 3, was completed shortly before his death of skin cancer at 76 on Sept. 1. Three new songs will preview the record: “Bubbles Up,” “My Gummie Just Kicked In,” and “Like My Dog.” “Bubbles Up,” the first song to be unveiled, is a reflective ballad that, like later Buffett songs such as “Tides,” reveals a deeper side to his music. The tune takes its name from how sailors can follow the bubbles up to the water’s surface to escape drowning if a boat capsizes. Buffett co-wrote the song with Americana singer, songwriter, and guitarist Will Kimbrough.
But it’s the former Beatle who was so moved by “Bubbles Up” that he wrote about it online in a tribute to Buffett. “I told him that not only was the song great but the vocal was probably the best I’ve heard him sing ever,” McCartney wrote. “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.
