“I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been “I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries. I found stories I experienced, lessons I learned and forgot, poems, prayers, prescriptions, beliefs about what matters and a whole bunch of bumperstickers. I found a reliable theme, an approach to living that gave me more satisfaction, at the time and still: If you know how, and when, to deal with life’s challenges - how to get relative with the inevitable - you can enjoy a state of success I call ‘catching greenlights’. So I took a one-way ticket to the desert and wrote what you hold now: an album, a record, a story of my life so far. This is fifty years of my sights and seens, felts and figured-outs, cools and shamefuls. Graces, truths, and beauties of brutality. Getting away withs, getting caughts and getting wets while trying to dance between the raindrops. Hopefully, it’s medicine that tastes good, a couple of aspirin instead of the infirmary, a spaceship to Mars without needing your pilot’s licence, going to church without having to be born again and laughing through the tears. It’s a love letter. To life. It’s also a guide to catching more greenlights - and to realising that the yellows and reds eventually turn green, too. By design and on purpose... Good luck.” - @officiallymcconaughey

“I was in search of distant islands, in love wit “I was in search of distant islands, in love with the idea that, on a path of land, protected by a circumference of sea, the obligations and irritations of life would dissolve and a singular clarity of mind would descend.” 🏝 In Island Dreams, Gavin Francis examines our collective fascination with islands. He blends stories of his own travels with psychology, philosophy and great voyages from literature, shedding new light on the importance of islands and isolation in our collective consciousness.
