Owen's new song is a carefree, escapist ode to life on the water.

It's a progressive throwback, if one will allow such a contradiction.

His easygoing personality, mega-watt smile and upbeat songs are easy on the eyes -- and ears.

The song allegedly borrows part of its structure and lyrics from an earlier work.

"He was more like a human than a dog. While my other pups would run free across the farm, Slash just wanted to be by my side," Owen wrote in his tribute.
