While doing an incredible job for NRK traveling around and reporting, he also raised money for a Norwegian coastal rescue service (redningsselskapet). He also started recording tunes he learned on his journeys around the country and the world. This resulted in many recordings . Erik Bye was voted to be the 3'd most important Norwegian citizen of all time in 2005. He died in 2004.
He will always be known for the humour and radiation of positive energy.

Que ataca con su guitarra y su voz
Te sobra que es mentira
Información manipula y servida
Y el precio es la verdad
Y el precio es la verdad
Pero sabes que
No cuentas con algo
Haciendo feliz a mucha gente
Pero sabes que no cuentas con algo
A lo mejor te informaste mal
Por que estoy seguro de que esto no es un rap
