This final track of the album acts as a bookend to the project, departing via the causeway after arriving over the sands in the first track, 'The Pilgrim's Way'.

The idea behind this piece is exploring the duality of the causeway and of Lindisfarne itself. Sometimes the causeway is below the water and sometimes above. Lindisfarne is in turn an island cut off from the modern world, then reconnected for a while before the cycle repeats itself.

Connection versus isolation, spiritual versus material, water and dry land in balance, governed by the ever changing tides. Even the concept of the water itself somehow holding echoes of past times and the call of of the natural world. This last idea is also a convenient way to reprise some of the 'Foley' sounds from the rest of the album, a worthy goal for the last track of this project. This piece is truly eclectic in nature so please enjoy the journey.

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Background

When composing instrumental music you can often find yourself separating a piece into various thematic sections to create a journey for the listener. 'Causeway Dreams' breaks down into six sections. One of them is very short, (A Meeting of Worlds) but this crucially acts as a musical nexus or balance point in the music,

1) Into the Depths
The journey begins by plunging the listener below the water of the covered causeway, an alien world where the natural world, history and spiritual feelings all fuse together in the restless sea. The power of the sea is very much a feature in this first section. There is peril for the unwary, man cannot control this element of nature, only react to it's moods.

2) In a Place of Wonder
This lighter section featuring harp and flute introduces a feeling of wonder as you remain below the water with the creatures that call the sea their home.

3) Island Echoes
Still below the water you begin to hear echoes of 'Foley' sounds from previous tracks in the project brought together in this underwater realm, suggesting a merging of history and nature, an 'island memory', captured in the surrounding water of the island. At the end of this section you begin to ascend back towards the emerging causeway.

4) A Meeting of Worlds
As you emerge from the water you are in that moment of balance between the two worlds. The voice you first heard in 'The Pilgrims Way' is ready to lead you home.

5) Travelling Home
As the sea finally recedes, the rolling feel of acoustic DADGAD guitar and low whistle feature to lead the listener as you travel across the now fully uncovered causeway back towards the Northumbrian mainland.

6) The Call of the Coast
As you travel further along the causeway, you hear the sound of Northumbrian pipes over a boisterous bodhrán backing. The mainland is calling to you but the voice you first heard in the Pilgrims Way soars as a final reminder of this special place.

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to who has the final moves.

Histoire d'une invention - - - Prélude to the Story

Fantasy is a remarkable ability that allows us to imagine things that are not directly present in our environment. It allows us to develop new ideas, create alternative realities and put ourselves in the perspectives of other people or even other beings. Fantasy is often closely linked to creativity and drives innovation, art, literature, science and many other areas of human life. With our fantasy, we are able to approach problems in new ways, empathize with different situations and imagine what could be, rather than limiting ourselves to what already exists. Isn't that a wonderful gift?

Lyrics:

She likes to live on the egde
She push the limits as far as she can
She is  without fear
Nothing can stop her
But she always lands on her feet

Chorus:
She needs to feel that she is alive
She needs to feel the blood rush
She needs to feel excitement
Pain and desire
But whatever she does to feel
She always lands on her feet..

She don't like it when life feels boring
Something needs to happen all the time
She must always have something to do
Her head works all day through
But she always lands on her feet..

Chorus...

She is without fear
Nothing can stop her
But she always lands on her feet..

Chorus...

Lyrics:

High expectations, wishes and demands
You just wanted more and more
Your ego shone through..

You were insatiable
never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
so I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

I never had time to take care of me
You made sure that i could only see you..

I ran out, had nothing more to give
I decided
This is not how I want to live.. 

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own..

You were insatiable
Never got enough
I was exhausted
Did everything for you..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on you're own..

If you hadn't been so selfish
If you could be satisfied
It could have been us
You would still have me in your life..

But now you're on your own
I am moving on
And you have to deal with everything alone..

You were never satisfied
No matter how hard I tried
So I give up
Baby, you're now on your own!
