Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
An autobiographical story. St. Ives, Cornwall in the late 1960s and early 1970s was 'the' place to go. Artistic people and dreamers such as me seemed to be drawn to it ... the place holds very special memories.
Lyrics
So Far Away From Home David A Briggs (c) 2023 Guitar intro: I saw the sea and the sea looked back at me. The clouds rolled by, leaving an empty sky. So far, so far away from home. So far, so far away from home. We met on the steps, on the path down to the sea. Sketchbook in hand, I paint what you don't see. The girl, the girl from another world. a girl, so far away from home. What now, what next ... what are we going to do now? ... what next, what are we going to do now? The things I do, my dreams will see me through. we all get by but the parts I play are true. now I'm so far away from home. now I'm so far away from home. guitar solo: what are we going to do now? ... what next, what are we going to do now? Turn off the lights and say your fond goodnights. Treat her well, she's the pearl inside the shell. So far away from home ... So far away from home So far away from home ... So far away from home instrumental ending with dreamy atmospheric sounds

Great Song! Guitar Excellence as Always... Fab Opener for a Classic Collectible Album, Mate! One for the All Time Great Record Books! Might like to cover this sometime... though, you've utterly Nailed it. So... maybe I just try and think up something else... the seagulls too... you don't miss a beat! I am awed and humbled, Major.
