"FLOATING THROUGH LIFE" - AN ORIGINAL BY
BAHAMIAN ERSKINE KNOWLES
Erskine Knowles wrote the first verse of his song "Floating Through
Life" while he was walking around Goodman's Bay, Nassau, Bahamas, for
exercise in 2018. He noticed how many beachgoers were smoking, drinking or
taking drugs. He thought to himself that they were just floating through life
like a butterfly, without a care in the world.
"Floating through life" - An Original by Erskine Knowles! Lyrics,
music, guitar and vocals by Erskine Knowles (c) 2018
It was after Erskine's surgery in 2013, when he became clinically dead from
loss of blood and had to be brought back to life by the doctors, that he was
inspired to write more songs. He hadn't written any since the 50's. However, he
had kept on playing guitar and singing every chance he could get (in The Bahamas,
Miami Beach, on a ship to England, around Devon and Scotland). He had his own
band in the mid-sixties at the Lisbon Club, Bay Street, and they also played at
parties around New Providence.
