Shipwrecked And Heartbroke
A story of a man down on his luck
I jam therefore I am
I'm a guitarist, that's what I do.
Story behind the song
The motivation behind the song is simple, it was always there, we just had to find it. I was messing around with a chord progression and played it for Mike. So we came up with a story line that matched the music. Michael Redmond wrote the majority of the lyrics and sang the song (as those are his specialties). He plays a mean rhythm guitar as well. We went from there. Evidently this guy in the song is having a bad life, but we hope things turn out ok for him. You'll have to check back to see...
Lyrics
Shipwrecked and heartbroke, I must be dreaming
Who took this laughter away from me
Here on this reef of fools oh and these lost souls
No hope, mercy or prayer for a man like me
Woe is me, I'm standing on this rock
with these waves here crashing
And no recollection of how I got here
I'm a man, a man without a mission or a place
I've lost so much I'm so full of fear
Of being alone, forgotten, discarded
Wondering what did I do to deserve such a fate as this
And what did I miss to get myself shipwrecked here...
Here on this reef of fools and these lost souls
No hope, mercy or prayer for a man like me
Shipwrecked and heartbroke, I know I'm not dreaming
Who took this laughter away from me
Woe is me, I'm standing on this rock
with these waves here crashing
And no recollection of how I got here
I'm a man, a man without a mission or a place
I've lost so much I'm so full of fear
Of being alone, forgotten, discarded
Wondering what did I do to deserve such a fate as this
And what did I miss to get myself shipwrecked here...
