Lyrics
CASTAWAY V1 RAISE THE FLAG OF NUETRALITY I'LL FLY THE COLORS TO THE SHORES OF LASTING PEACE I'LL BE YOUR SAILOR LIFT ME UP FROM THIS PLACE TO BE SAVED PUT ME DOWN ON THE LIST THIS SHIP WON’T WAIT ( slipaway ) Chorus I don't want to stay here another day ( won't go down ) I don't want to be a castaway ( will be found ) On a sea of confusion Out by the headwaters Drifting on Waves of illusion Take me Back to the harbor Bear away V2 Tie the headsail with a downhaul I'll be your foot rope The promised land once and for all Will give us hope Underway or laying down On a reef Velvet bent to solid ground The grass is green ( slip away ) chorus chorus I don't want to be a castaway I don't want to be a castaway I don't want be a castaway Slip away Slip away

Ok so you put it up. GREAT!! I love the guitar work on this and the sounds are fantastic. Oh what I would do to get these sounds. I wont go down. No I wont Back down that lyric just popped in my head hearing your lyric. This is another strong track. You are really coming into your own where writing/production/performance is all coming together. Great work.

David, "Castaway" is one of your best ever. Its all you, 100% pure Dave Lunbeck, and when you get loose, there's no other artist on earth like you with such a unique command of aural and lyrical themes. The desperation of the lyric is buoyed up by the gentleness and sweet hope of the melodic construction. The falsetto yodels are perfect for this song, and your Buggles back up vocals seem strangely at home in this strange and wonderful arrangement. Your command of poetic imagery is unmatched - you blend Christian redemptive symbols here with maritime symbols and tie it together with Quixotic romance - at once charming and challenging. Your trademark tremolo guitar is a welcoming, familiar sound to the returning listener and anchors the listener in the warm and familiar as your experimentation takes us to new and strange aural, lyrical and rhythmic places. This is you at your best, you being you, a person we can all identify with in the frailty of our humanity and the power o

I Love it, David! :D This song can be applied very well to a life that's lost, confused. :D It gives hope to people who would give up before they are rescued from whatever trouble they are in. :) The track sounds great, and the guitar work sounds wonderful. :D REALLY NICE JOB!! :D
