Cast Away

Robert James

2022 RPM Challenge song number 16.

This one is all right. I’m not quite ready to say it’s a lock for making the final album but it’s close. If nothing else, the rhythm guitar part is fun to play and the vocals are nice and shouty.

I used two guitars for this one. The rhythm guitar on the left is my Les Paul Standard, and the right is my SG. Both used the same amp, a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The pedals on the rhythm tracks were a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive. The leads were the same except a Real McCoy Custom RMC10 was at the front of the signal chain.

Chorus
Feel like something you cast away
something you don’t need
feel like nothing is left to say
and that’s guaranteed

Verse 1
This is a total mess
what ever you might guess

Verse 2 and 3
There’s no one left to blame
Do you have any shame
