about

Gregory David Roberts is best known for Shantaram, the best-selling novel, which sold over 6 million copies worldwide and was hailed a ‘masterpiece’.

Lisa Run Away, is a melodic chill out track inspired by GDR’s favourite DJ Finnebassen. It explores love and our ability to feel vulnerable. It’s based on the character Kavita Singh, from Shantaram, who falls in love with Lisa. The music cocoons you in a melodic soundscape, evoking memories of balmy summer evenings. Saine ‘Red’ Rapley’s sticky vocals, make this a catchy summer chill out tune. Produced by GDR and Dale ‘Dizzle’ Virgo (Drake/ Florence + The Machine/ Kendrick Lamar/ Rihanna).

“Music has been an unfailing inspiration for me and these songs all come from the constant experience of my life that with love and faith, anything is possible”, said Gregory David Roberts.

In Jamaica, at multiple recording sessions (2018-20), GDR found the right mix of energy and talent to bring his musical vision to life. The album’s lyrical content is inspired by his six years of spiritual seclusion and is released on December 4, 2020.

lyrics

It’s funny how it goes
From a casual glance
The touch of a hand
A romantic dance
And now I’m parting the curtains again

Hello, vulnerability

Lisa run away,
Run away to me Lisa
Run, run, Lisa, run away

When you’ve taken the time
To make up your mind
I hope you decide
To be you

Lisa run away,
Run away to me Lisa
Run, run, Lisa, run away

He can’t love you
The way that I love you
In our hearts
We both know it’s true

Since I met you
I’ve been up
And down
And all around
And sometimes I wonder
If I’m the only one of us
Who truly knows
What we found

Lisa run away to me

I’m not sophisticated
Or emotionally frustrated
And I never want you
To be manipulated

You can run from love
But you can’t hide

Hello, vulnerability

Lisa run away,
Run away to me Lisa
Run, run, Lisa, run away

When you’ve taken the time
To make up your mind
I hope you decide to be you

Lisa run away,
Run away to me Lisa
Run, run, Lisa, run away

Listen to the power of love
Listen to the power of love
Listen to the power of love

Lisa run away
Run away to me Lisa

Lisa run away
Run away to me Lisa

Lisa run away
Run away to me Lisa

Lisa run away
Run away to me Lisa
