Desert Island

Wanna be marooned on a desert island
Enchanted by the waves
Surrounded by the silence
Make a clean escape
Been too long in civilization
I got to get away

Wanna be marooned on a desert island
Far away from here
Do some laughing, do some crying
Shake off the tension, lose the fear
Get some soul restoration
Even though it may take years

There has got to be some asylum for me
I've just about OD'd on the 21st century
Nervous system's frazzled, information overload
I think it's just about time to head on down the road

Going to escape to a desert island
Before it's too late for me
Gonna get away from the rage and violence
Sit in silence by the sea
Gonna have my own utopia, a quiet society

“Desert Island drifts in like a warm tide at dusk, steeped in that mellow folk-blues sway that echoes the smoky soul of Van Morrison and the smooth introspection of Boz Scaggs. With a laid-back groove reminiscent of early Steve Miller, the song carries the listener to a place just out of reach—a place where time slows down and the static of the modern world fades into a soft guitar hum. The lyrics speak of longing and quiet surrender, a man casting off from the noise and chaos, floating toward solitude not as punishment, but as a kind of freedom. 'Desert Island' becomes more than a place—it’s a state of mind, where waves wash away regrets and the only company is the whisper of wind through palm fronds, and maybe a faded memory or two."
