Blerta
Blerta ("Bruno Lawrence's Electric Revelation and Travelling Apparition"), was a New Zealand musical and theatrical co-operative active in the 1970s.
It was the idea of Bruno Lawrence to arrange a group of musicians, actors and friends, who would travel around New Zealand on a tour to get away from the pressure of the music and movie scene. He organised the travelling group, and in October 1971, they departed on their tour. The group travelled around New Zealand in a very distinctive red bus, concluding in January 1973 at the first large outdoor music festival in New Zealand, The Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival before heading up the eastern seaboard of Australia and performing at the 1973 Aquarius Festival at the Northern Rivers NSW hippie town of Nimbin.
The group lived in a commune for many years. Three families, including Bruno Lawrence's and Geoff Murphy's, lived together. The group came to the attention of those in the New Zealand film industry and were at times employed to create work for TVNZ. The group were labeled as hippies during this time and were looked down upon by some in the industry despite the quality and nature of their work.

You're Everywhere - Bonus Track
by: Blue RodeoYeah, I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
That's not enough, will you want more?
Like the writing on an ancient wall
You're a mystery that I'll never solve
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Well, I've walked along the red canal of Mars
I've known kings and king makers, poets, painters and paupers
I've danced, danced on the rings of Saturn
Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me, rock it
Yeah, this old world ain't always what it seems
Sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream
There's a face I know that I've never seen
Still a hundred million miles ten thousand years
Ain't going to change a thing
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
