This episode reflects on the intersection of art, community, and resilience during the WAW Pass the Hat Tour 2025. Together with AI co-host Sophia, we explore how live music builds temporary communities of belonging, how pub politics can paradoxically highlight the need for solidarity, and how art functions as ritual and survival in contemporary society.
The episode culminates in the premiere of Three Hats, One Road by Los Inorgánicos, a song inspired directly by the tour itself.
In addition, we announce WAW’s forthcoming album The Stories of Nil Young — with its debut single The Nile’s Bittersweet Song arriving soon.
This podcast remains fully independent and ad-free. Its continuity depends on listeners’ engagement, sharing, and dialogue.

Lyrics – Three Hats, One Road (Los Inorgánicos)
Verse 1
We carried our songs through the rain and the stone,
Three hats in the circle, three chords of our own.
From Ardgole rocks to Kilcrohane nights,
The fire kept burning, the music took flight.
Chorus
Three hats, one road,
Pass it around, let the love overflow.
From the cliffs to the crowd, from the pub to the shore,
We sang what was ours till it wasn’t anymore.
Verse 2
Whiskey was flowing, the candles burned low,
Hannah at the doorway let the whole village know.
Voices joined voices, the night broke apart,
Strangers turned family with songs from the heart.
Chorus
Three hats, one road,
Pass it around, let the love overflow.
From the cliffs to the crowd, from the pub to the shore,
We sang what was ours till it wasn’t anymore.
Bridge
Cows for companions, a floor made of stone,
But the silence at sunrise was music alone.
Prawns on the beach, with the tide rolling in,
A hymn to the journey, where love will begin.
Final Chorus
Three hats, one road,
Pass it along, let the stories be told.
From the cliffs to the crowd, from the pub to the shore,
We sang what was ours till it’s everyone’s lore.

In a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.
