Here is Castaway again. We decided to included the track because this was in fact the very first time Rikki LaCoste played this song in public, at Graffiti's, in Kensington Market, in Toronto, July 2011.
It is a slightly older version of the song. And because it is the first time being presented to the world, it is a sort of birth. It is super-charged with very strong emotion. You can hear Rikki's voice crack a little with the weight of the poignant subject matter, and tears were welling up during the performance.
