Perhaps Im getting the timing wrong? All I know is that Lindsey said in interviews *approximately* around the time of his solo tour or perhaps when his album first came out, that he and his wife had a fight (apparently about Stevie) and she gave him an ultimatum to let go of the "past" or forget about her and the kids and according to Lindsey he began to write Castaway Dreams and called Kristin up and told it to her and that he had made up his mind....and when he introduced the song Castaway Dreams on his Under the Skin tour, he said it was inspired by a fight he had with his wife or somesuch. Im not as crystal clear on all the details as you guys, granted, but Im pretty sure the basics are correct. If not, can someone clarify?

He wrote this song after having a fight with his wife. When I saw him at HOB in Chicago, he said this and somebody in the front row said "About Stevie?" Lindsey bent over and looked at the person with a funny look on his face and said "What??" His wife was in the audience.
I think it is a goodbye to Stevie. Lindsey says it's about coming to terms with saying goodbye to your dreams. He sings "Magic one, all our dreams are done". To me, Stevie is the magic one and he and Stevie had big dreams when they started out just 2 poor musicians in love and struggling to survive together. Their love didn't survive but they did become successful. Then they became close again around the time of The Dance tour but shortly thereafter, Lindsey became a father and finally married Kristin. So maybe he and Stevie had dreams once again that their love would survive but once he had children, he was on the fence about it. Maybe it was still in the back of his mind and the fight he and Kristen had was maybe Kristin telling him, You can't love both of us...pick one. It's not fair to either Stevie or Kristen. He doesn't want to rip apart his family so that's the choice he makes. "Hearts will break with choices we must make"....anyway maybe I'm waaaayyy off but that's what I thought when I heard the song.

so Im sure Im on the right track. Im having trouble finding actual interviews during the concert tour, but I will keep looking.
