A Song About Escape
Songs About Escape
Song: Fly Away
By: Lawrence Lynn
I didn't set out to write a song about escape, but judging by the response from
listeners on internet radio, the song "Fly Away" has definitely become one of those
songs about escape.

I've been asked many times where the idea for this song came from because it's a dark subject
of nightmares of atomic war and losing loved ones. Well the fact of the matter is that I was
reading an article about being able to purify your body in such a way that you wouldn't be
adversely affected by the radiation of atomic fallout if such did occur.
Just looking at the area of real atomic warfare frankly scared me, and the ensuing nightmare is,
I guess, what inspired the song. So the idea of being able to fly away for real (and not in a
flying machine) is what I guess got me into writing one of these songs about escape.

The picture above was taken in Brazil also, and there's a beautiful
sadness to it that really hits me in the guts. That's why the picture
is on this page - just because I like it.
I always try to write songs about real life situations , and I don't
usually try to create in a particular style. If I like the song, then I'll
put it out regardless of the genre, just like I put the picture above
on this page.
I like too many artists to worry much about styles and genres of
music. So a song about escape isn't really what it's all about - it's
about freedom - freedom from unwanted things but also freedom TO
pursue what you want to. Life's an adventure and that's the only
way to treat it.
